What happens to the "all happy and feeling fine"?

I guess we will be happy right away about no prostate, but feeling fine
might take a few days?

I had general anaesthesia for my brachytherapy.

First they gave me some drug that was supposed to "relax"
me.  I told them I was already relaxed, but the doc said, well,
I'll give you 1/4 of the dose then.  But I think he was
humoring me and gave me a big slug of the stuff.

I continued to be awake and cracking jokes while they
wheeled me down the hall - which is the last thing I
remember.  I'm told the "relaxing" drug, whatever it was
doesn't knock me out, but is an "amnestic", so I can't
remember anything from a few minutes after I got it.

I'd love to know what I said and how much I embarrassed
myself during the period I can't remember and before they
completely knocked me out.

I woke up with a tube in my penis.  A very strange sensation
it was.  The doc came by and pulled it out a couple hours
after I woke up and made me pee for her to be sure she
didn't need to put it back in.  I've never been more determined
to pee.

For the next couple of days I had occasional bubbles of
air come out together with bits of blood and lots of urine.

But, as everyone else who has been through it has said,
it looks more traumatic than it really is.  The big thing, the
main thing, the thing that really counts, is getting rid of the
cancer.

Maybe, but they'ed have to remove it again when they cut out the prostate
and sew the urethra back together.
