I decided it is time to do another update on my 150 gram prostate done Jan
12th 05 with the PVP Laser.

On April 28 I passed what appeared to be a scab the size of a finger nail.
No blood just a scab.  The previous two days I had started to ride by
bicycle, with the Dr's permission and a prostate friendly seat.  Not far
just an easy short distance.

On April 29th at 5 PM I relieved myself and was greeted with almost pure
blood and a big clot.  It had been about seven weeks since the last episode
of bleeding and I thought I was out of the woods with this problem.

This time I did manage to stay out of the ER by going every half hour and
drinking water each trip.  I set a timer and got up every half hour all
night.  I went to the bathroom, passed a clot, and drank water.  Some of the
clots could have filled a teaspoon they were so large.  By about 4:30 AM I
was so tired, from not having slept all night, I did not hear the timer and
slept till 6:30 AM.   I got up and could still go but no clot.  During the
course of Saturday morning my urine cleared up and things went back to
normal.

At this point in time I can hold more and get rid of more urine than I ever
did before.  When the catheter was removed from last clotting episode about
7 weeks ago I was told I had some retention.  I hope to have that checked
again the end of May.

A real positive thing is that there appears to be no retrograde
ejaculation!!  It all seems to come out.
