Oh and was not allowed to lift weights for a month. Same for No long walks , but no sitting still long either. No dog walking ( pulling) I can eat anything but some food/drinks can irritate your bladder and inflame your already sensitive urethra.
Currently I’m drinking 30oz a day plus juice. Upon discharge it was 28oz a day another 28 or more through bedtime. Also strict No soda , coffee, or sugar drinks for as long as you can.
As for mobility, I can’t explain my advanced recovery. I did not suffer any issues with bending over or standing up. Even my urologist and staff were skeptical when I insisted my catheter be removed as soon as I saw no blood in my bag 8 hours after surgery. I went on my own immediately and it’s been successful out of the gate. The sting or burn only lasted a few days for a few minutes. No internal pain in my experience. I was allowed to fly home 2 days later but for safety I stayed 3 more days until my pathology test came back negative. As for changing my clothes , I step on the cuff and do my best pulling standing up bending my knee. I had a harder time sitting since my bladder was full for 5 years.
