Surgery POSTPONED P#71. AMA

[Cherry Brigand]

In my definitive Sherdog Prostate thread I discuss my journey with BPH.

In summary, have been on meds for six months. Have now had two urologists tell me the flow increase is not sufficient and that I risk permanent damage to my bladder due to retention.

Next week I'll be having my first ever hospital visit (one night is the plan) and surgery (water jet ablation of the prostate).

I will need to be sedated for the procedure and expect to have a catheter for 3 to 5 days. AMA!

Hope it goes well mate.

I'm awaiting a surgery because I have a condition called Barrett's oesophagus. They need to freeze the abnormal cells in my throat so new, normal ones return.

Are they going to put you to sleep? You won't be awake for the procedure?

 

[NoSmilez]

Hope everything goes well without complication.

Will you need to sell your house to afford it?

You got this one bro.

Did you received an iPad? That might be a double edge sword.. on one hand you can maintain yourself entertained during your stay at the hospital.. on the other hand we all know what happens next....

Yes. And really the only source of nervousness about the whole thing...other than potential side effects.

Still waiting on what insurance will cover... <eek>

 

[Cherry Brigand]

Thought you're female for some reason...

It is cruel that I have a prostate so big and a penis so small...but all male...

I have an iPhone already...not sure where that puts me on the relationship status ladder...

Trust me, you'll be fine. You'll love the rush of the general anesthesia going into your veins and in your brain. It's a very good high I have to admit. lol

Nailed it.
