What is a Prostatectomy Like?

At 69 I was officiating high school lacrosse in 4 months and quit pads after 5 months. I still get a drip but wear sport type underwear, so it evaporates and doesn't smell and literally a drop every now and then. Sitting on something hard or that has a sharp edge causes my bladder neck to bend like a whip cream can nozzle, so I am careful about where and how I sit. We have to learn the "new me" and get living. Wearing black shorts and pants is helpful too as they don't show the wet spot if you do leak. I'm the only guy during the game that is standing in the middle of the field that knows I just "pissed myself" and just smile as life is good while chasing my passion.

Can you explain sport underwear? Where do you get them? My husband has to lift heavy metal at work and we are looking for additional options. Thank you

HEY ref how could you missed the push with possession and the offsides? Don't you have eyes in the back of your head? I'm 35 months post RP(age 61) and still experience an occasional minor squirt so the "new me" is spot on and we are all lucky to be on this side of the dirt!

Great post!
