Thought after lurking for a while, I’d take the leap and join the community. I’m Rob, aged 66, and happily retired.
Was diagnosed a while back with PSA 4.8 and Gleason 3+4 and after a chat with the Urology consultant, opted for RALP, which I had last Tuesday. Discharged next day and sent home with a catheter, and a bag full of paracetamol, meds for constipation relief, and a pack of syringes for the atrial fibrillation they found during my pre-op.
So far, the only problem I’ve really had has been constipation, which lasted until 3:15 yesterday morning, to be replaced by the exact opposite - loose bowels. Any idea of when this aspect of recovery stabilises?
I’m due back on Friday for a TWOC session. Hopefully, that will go OK and I can stop peeing from my ankle soon!
