Wow. You had it tough. Sorry to hear that. Morphine was effective, but don't know if I'd want to take it home. I was in hospital for 3 days. Got home last night. The catheter's been a puzzle. Everything I've been seeing online says that you change out the leg bag for the night bag at night. But instructions here (written and oral) were to attach the night bag to the bottom of the leg bag, ope up the leg bag & sleep like that. It seemed to work. But it's draining really slowly. I'm hoping the district nurse will call today, so she can come over & check that we're doing everything right.

The taking-the-prostate-home thing..... I said yes because it appealed to my sense of humour. But my wife says it's a cultural thing. Some cultures (Pacific Islanders, around here, presumably) have to be buried with all their bits. So anything taken from surgery has to stay with them.

On reflection, I realised that they slice up the prostate to put it under a microscope, to check the cancer etc.
So I'll probably get back a bottle of minced meat. Not quite the conversation-starter I was hoping for. Oh well. I've already signed the legal forms to get it back. Ready in 8 weeks, apparently.
