Didn't respond earlier because I really felt poorly (abdominal spasms) in spite of successful surgery. The prostate margins and lymph nodes were clean and I had complete continence as soon as the catheter came out. Very grateful to family, friends and posters for thoughts and prayers (and Dr. Humphreys and the excellent surgery team, nursing staff, and others).
My one tip is don't consider staying alone, I couldn't standup by myself for 4 days. I guess I didn't realize that we engage some of our abdominal muscles for any movement. The pain would go from 1 to 9 as soon as I moved, coughed, sneezed, etc., then stopped as soon as I quit moving. Learned to move very slowly. Possibly why some don't recommend this for even reasonably healthy older men (age 72). They were very responsive thru the patient portal. Although radiation would probably have been less painful, I would go thru it again because I liked the idea that if surgery didn't get it all I could still do radiation.
Special thanks to heavyphil who got my attention when I was getting confusing local testing and treatment advice that seemed a little backwards, and he posted 'Get Out of Dodge' - I relate to that kind of messaging. Thanks to all those that help me get to where I needed to be!
