Hi, by the time you read this your surgery should be all done and you may even be having a cuppa.

I hope everything went well and that your recovery goes smoothly, as a sports coach I am sure you know when your body is capable of taking tasks back on. If things take a little longer than you hoped just keep persevering and try to be patient. You may find your clinical nurse has taken your occupation into consideration when shortening recovery times for you.

Make sure you let us know how you are getting along

Hi, 

 

Best of luck from me. I guess if all went to plan yesterday you will be out of bed and taking it steadily.

So time will tell what experience I have at the pre-op the nurse took me through not only the operation and recovery .

 

Interesting she stated amount I should try to walk each day (far higher than everybody  says) Driving should be 2 to 3 weeks (again quicker than people experience) .

 

Working 6 weeks (again quicker)

 

So will keep updates to see what happens but will only do what I feel I am capable .

 

Speak soon

 

Hi Pinny hope it went well,don't rush back into anything,your insides will have had a hiding and your body will let you know how its recovering.

HI all

 

Just returned home yesterday following surgery Wed afternoon , went down about 2 at the ward by 6.45 surgeon told me  took a long time to wake up so amethysts had to work overtime monitoring me.

Had a mixed experience with quality of nursing at WYCOMBE HOSPITAL , one fantastic nurse called Fiona supported by HCV Kirsty , but the night shift I felt the care was poor .

Fiona got me out of bed after 24 hours , walking with in 48 hours achieved 4 laps of the hospital ward by Friday 10 pm.

 

Next day  walked 2 laps an hour  and feeling good , only problem I seem to be getting is a stiff back by sitting to much.

Will try to walk out tomorrow if weather good walk around the close.

 

Paul

He is a quick update for all that helped me with my diagnosis and the treatment.

 

Returned to hospital today had catheter out passing water slowly but nurse was happy with that.

Need to wear nappies until I feel under control.

Wound dressed and need to check with surgery to dress every other day but quite pleased.

See nurse if no problems around 1st week of April.

 

Consultant came round confirming that the cells were not quite as bad as expected and came to 7 not 8 as originally thought and appears not to have spread

Will take PSA test in 3 months to see if any further problems.

He says I can drive but will leave for another  week, as he knows my job he says as I feel up to it I can go do a couple of hours next week to see how I go.

Also happy for me to coach next weekend march 7th but not to swing until end of March.

 

Again thanks all keep you informed.

 

Paul

A quick update of how my treatment is going.

 

Started work last week did 2 5 hours shifts no problems extending this week to 18 hours and 3 hours coaching.

 

All progressing well waterworks appear to be reasonably under control just small leak day times , and larger ones at night.

 

So overall I feel quite happy with results.

great to hear you are back at work and coaching. Your PSA result is brilliant too. Hearing news like this always gives hope to others and comfort for those just diagnosed with a similar situation.

Other things can take time, I wish you all the very best in your continued recovery.
