Jim - Just saw your note. It hardly seems fair for you to have to go back into OR but we know lots of things related to cancer and RC isn't fair. Hope all goes well for you. Heck, by this time, you might even be halfway thru recovery following another OR session. God Bless.

Jim, I'm wishing you the best for this procedure. If attitude has anything to do with it, you will be fine. These things happen once in a while and they are just bumps in the road.

But, I was wandering if the bumps were:

Fromundas- Where the pavement drops out from under you

or

Fromovas- Where the pavement lumps up and from over.

I guess bumps is bumps, any way you slice it! :laugh: :laugh:

Good luck, just trying to be funny

Yes, Continency will return pretty quickly (about a week or two probably). It may be even better. My uro ended up doing a laser cleaning of scar tissue about a year ago which definitely helped continency but I probably need one more "shot" at it. I'll be talking to him in April at my six month check up with him (2 yrs overall)

You are right - don't sweat the small stuff.

Thanks Duke,
Right, whatever normal is.
You should be moving right along yourself!
I haven't heard from you lately, good or bad, so I assume, and hope it's all good.
Don't be nervous. These are minor issues. We got to keep the big picture in mind.
With that said, this surgery was a small price to pay to keep me going.
