Nice to hear from you John. I forgot to mention that I too have requested a referral to a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist ("PFPT"). I should receive notice of the approved referral within days...surprised that I haven't received it already. I never knew they existed, but thank goodness they do. They have a 92% success rate. It is hard to comprehend how the prostate - the size of a walnut - when removed, can cause such disruption to your pelvic floor muscles. I envisioned logically - or not - that because the prostate sits immediately below the bladder, that the bladder must "sag" when the prostate is no longer there. I'm just fed up with all of this.

Same! And when I think about how they had to reconnect urethra to bladder neck it make me want to vomit.
