At four months you're getting to a history an area where you're almost completely healed from some of your operation. After four months in my situation, I was in decent shape. I had incontinence for about two- three weeks after the operation. I had plenty of rest after the operation as I had an infection in hospital so I had to stay in the hospital for an extra week- actually it forced me to rest , as im a "have to do something all the time " guy ! HA!! . I don't know if it's Canadian hospitals or what, but I was surprised the food was pretty good once I was off liquids. Majority of nurses were attentive and cute ! ( Cute nurses help me heal too ! HA!! ) I went into the operation in very good shape spot on 200lbs and 6'1" , strong abs and urine control , basically I was going to the gym every second day and hiking with the dogs 10 to 15 km every day. Had operation in end of April . I live outside of Canada 1/2 the year , so I came back early for operation and fitness program continuing . I am a pilot so keeping fit on the road is tough , unless I free book in 5 stars with great gyms and have enough rest Also I went to the sauna regularly- dont over look this element , it helps . . Through a combination of this and my general physical condition helped a great deal the doctor said. Try and keep his fits as possible. Only top quality foods . NO Booze or tobacco . From talking to the boys, everybody holds her urine differently. Some guys really depend on their Prostate for urine control others do not. So its this as well that determines yoru recovery too. Try and get in the best shape of your life, watch your diet, and maybe even get a couple dogs to force you to go for those 10 km walks. You and your dog will benefit from it. I am always here for support. It's not easy to relearn how to hold yoru urine , but it can be done ! Frustration is a key element to fend off Brother ! James on Vancouver Island.
