Peter , sounds like great pain control and your well on your way to recovery . How old are you ? Find out what they used for pain control , as usually its a cocktail . Good knowledge for future IF you needed it , per se . Your sitting up now - good . No fever ? God Bless . James on Vancouver Island .

Thankyou James. I've had lots of things, but the highlights so far are Tylenol and morphine - in injection & pill form. A big fan of morphine now (although) my only previous knowledge of it was via the Rolling Stones song Sister Morphine- allegedly co-written with Janis Joplin). But it's either 3 hits of that, or the 3 days in hospital so far. But something's working. I'm surprised by the process but I've just been told that I'll probably have one more day in hospital because my oxygen level isn't quite what it should be. Also... was anyone else who's had a prostatectomy asked if they want their prostate back? What a weird question...
