You're back! And it all went well.
That's the major part over. Nerve-sparing & good margins sounds great.

The hard part - make him sit down & stay down.
No lifting or trying to help you at all. He's the patient.
It may be up to 6 weeks of doing nothing. It'll drive him nuts.
But that's why Netflix was invented.

Keep us posted with any updates, questions or just to vent.

Yes thankfully there’s football for him to watch!

Great to hear. Six weeks is a long time to sit down, waiting to recover from that surgery. Four days after my surgery, I was at clients offices working on computer issues. No lifting just sitting and typing. They took the catheter out the second week but I had been working full-time every day from the 7th day.

Don’t be surprised if he recovers quickly.
