@bdc1677, believe it or not, another week has already passed. How are you doing starting week 3 post surgery?

Pretty good. A little more leakage than last week. Mainly at night. Erections seem to come and go for no reason. Since we aren't able to have sex yet (two weeks after catheter removal is the recommendation) not sure how that will work yet. There has been some leg and back pain... I have read that is common as nerves heal.

I went to the bar the other night with friends.... It seemed like it urinated two beers for every half beer I drank. I went to the bathroom every 20 minutes or so.

I understand this is a process... so I am still hopefully all these side effects will resolve over time.

I sort of thought I would get a follow-up call from the surgeon.
