Sending positive thoughts your way on your procedure tmow…When this is all behind you - and it will be - you are probably going to kick yourself for being so wound up.
Don’t get me wrong, I was like a condemned man watching my gallows being built the days before surgery, but once I was there I put on my game face and got it done.
Recovering from surgery was totally new to me so I suggest you search the board for “what to expect after surgery” and similar topics. I did not know about this forum before my procedure but it would have been an immense help in the days and weeks afterward.
I know how much I learned before embarking on ADT and salvage radiation from the great people offering advice and experience on this board. I could not have made it through without their help and support. I know you will feel the same in days to come! Be well, be strong and get it done, brother….

I'm lucky that I've had to recover from a couple of surgeries and have my go-bag ready with all the things I need to make my hospital stay comfortable, my convalescence easier and my recovery as speedy as possible. I even have super warm socks to wear in the hospital with writing on the bottom: "If you can read this then give me the good meds" just to give the nurses a laugh while I'm bombed out of my mind on morphine 😉.

And thank you for the well wishing, I'll take all I can get!
