Just want to say Hi and Thanks.
After being diagnosed in April, I started following this forum on a daily basis. At first it was a little frightening reading everyone’s experiences. But then I reminded myself of reading the forums that I use to service and maintain my 20+ year old cars. If every car was having all these problems the streets would be empty. What I have gained is an understanding of my condition and experience that no doctor or outside publication can give. Each time I logon, I find an answer or the encouragement to deal with the obstacles and challenges we face on a daily basis. I truly feel that every man that receives this diagnosis should be given this site’s address.
As you can see by my signature I am now four weeks out from surgery. The operation went fine and with only a little bit of soreness, was up and taking walks the next day. The doctor kept the catheter in a little longer than I expected, 14 days, but in the end I think it was the right thing to do. Leakage is now down to a couple of pads a day and I’m dry at night. Every day is better than the next. I was able to go back to work right after the catheter came out and seem to be able to handle that fine. I take Levitra three times a week and am happy to say that there seems to be some response, something to look forward to at least.
Again, thanks to every one on this forum and know that you all do great work.
Craig
