Post Robotic Surgery...gleason 3+3=6 Cancer found..Right and Left lobes 5%..contained within Prostate..did not get out anyplace. No evidence of Malignancy. Diagram of the sliced up Prostate showed 3 little dark spots deep inside the gland on the right side and one little dark spot deep inside on the left side. I start my Kegal now and wear Depends...go back to Uro in 4 weeks...

One more instance in which more is not necessarily better. Bob My hospital's whole urology staff all but demands I follow their Kegel protocol, which in 7 weeks works up to 50 quick Kegels, 50 10-second Kegels, then 50 quick Kegels, twice a day. I'm still not sure which is my problem, inadequate Kegel strength or inadequate concentration on doing them lightly every waking moment. I.P. > Don't over do the Kegels.

You've got some after effects to recover from, but the rest of a natural lifetime to do it in. Good health. Alan Thanks Alan...have to learn to PEEEE straight...it's like a loose fire hose....Howie Howie, that sounds really good. My best wishes to you. You''ll do great.

Life CAN return to normal - it just takes time and patience.... Sandy K. Thanks...Is it normal to hurt down there?.Cath out yesterday, wore Depends..VERY uncomfortable, Testicles sort of "raw" ? as is under Penis..possible Urine burn ? Also, been taking stool sofener but no urge to go today? Hope I go tomorow..been going every day so far....is it ok to miss a day ? howie It's always okay to miss a day but not three or four. Have a little prune juice it's a natural way to keep things moving along and it tastes good. Sometimes a banana is enough for some people. Have Hope buy a box of All Bran cereal and make the muffins from the recipe on the side of the box. They are very good and the added fiber will help. Just relax nature tends to take care of such problems.

You'll live. I.P. > > Also, been taking stool sofener but no urge > > to go today?

Howie Yup: potty training, deja vu. I.P. "Howie and Hope" <hopehowie@webtv.net> wrote > Never forget the "REAL" Basic Training at Fort Dix...1961..now I am in > another type basic training? Howie I. P. Freely also...everyplace but the toilet..Nurse friend of mine said to do as a Woman..sit on the throne to peeeeee, that's hard to do also since Mr Weener is so short!!!!! Howie When potty training little boys I've always sat them on the seat backwards, facing the tank. If they sit forward their legs go together and then the plumbing tends to shoot forward and up. Backwards they get a little downward slant to things and their legs are apart. Gets them ready for standing up like the big boys. LOL Bev > I. P.

Howie ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- > "Happy St. Pat's day" Kinda Freaky ? Well at least I could use the tank top as a reading desk ? Doing ok..NO pads being used, am able to hold it somewhat...aim? that will take practice. Up 5 times again last night to pee, at least the bladder is telling the brain to go empty...brain wakes body and up I go...guess bladder has shrunk? Howie "Happy St. Pat's day" Isn't that in March? > Thanks...Is it normal to hurt down there?.Cath out yesterday, wore > Depends..VERY uncomfortable, Testicles sort of "raw" ? as is under > Penis..possible Urine burn ?
