Four him , yes , cover his appointments and ask questions and take binder with you . collect everything in bider , images , dr visit notes , etc . Keep him organized . After operation I got a little fever ( infection) so I spent 6 days in Hospital , this was in 2021 . My wife came to hospital everyday . Brought some treats , talked with nurses ect .Lots of liquids are good . The IV drip in hospital should keep him very well hydrated and purge his system. ED may be an issue for a year or more . Lets hope nerves are spared and not aggravated . Pills help , and vacuum pump helps too . How old is he ? PSA and Gleason level ? any other health problems ? Be there for him mentally , he has quite an operation in front of him . You can do it im sure , you sound great and are ahead of the curve of events . James on Vancouver Island .
