Glad to hear you're back home. Good luck and a sppedy recovery.

Great news Rus.  Being home is a big boost.  Take it slow and easy for a
while and slowly get back to normal routines.  When I had my RP I walked
right away outside in cold temps and I sure felt it.

Wow!  2 days!  That might be some kind of record for RRP.

Welcome back!

Isn't it great to back home without all the worry?  I remember how
relieved I was when it was all over.  I demanded, for a short while,
to be waited on hand and foot, well begged actually.  Then everyone
got tired of it and told me to get it myself.  THEN I knew I was home.

Relax.  Watch some TV.  Read. Take short walks.  And luxuriate in
being home and getting back to normal.  That's what I did.

My RP was in March 2002.

Glad to hear you're home.   When you wrote from your workplace the day
before you went in, it reminded me of how I had been trying to wind up
my work the day before my RP, but people kept wanting things done and I
ended up working late.   Then it was rush home, drive a hundred miles to
Ann Arbor where we stayed overnight at the medical center so as to be
ready for early morning surgery.   I felt a little sorry for myself,
because I had wanted to spend some quiet time with my wife beforehand.
(I should instead have been glad that I had a job that kept me in demand
and which paid for my medical insurance.)   But that was two years ago,
and I had forgotten all about that day-before-surgery until I saw your
note a few days ago.   Here's hoping that soon you won't have any reason
to dwell on this event in your life, either, and that you'll even forget
how glad you were to get rid of the catheter.

That has to be one of the best feelings a man can have.  Out of there!
Good wishes, walk, drink lots of fluids, practice with the catheter walking
bag at going places and doing things.
I was able to discreetly dump the darn thing just about anywhere since the
tube was down by the cuff of your pants.
anyway, a recliner really helped me out since when I tried to sleep on a
regular bed it seemed the catheter tube ran back in......?
Bladder spasms will go....
Good wishes, John Loomis
