Thanks for sharing. So sorry to hear your wife passed away 3 years ago. My radical prostatectomy was 3 months ago and I"m still recovering with no erections to date. It is slow but stopped most dribbles a few weeks ago and can sleep overnight with a dry pad. As I get older, retired, and am single at 71, I am enjoying friendships, walking 4 miles per day and keep in touch with my children and grandchildren, and friends...I want to keep my mind active, reading newspapers, articles, social posts on media...My doc assures me my erections will come back, may be a bit different, but allow up to a year for the the damaged muscles to repair up to a year. Best wishes for each of you on your journey and do what you have to do to take care of yourself medically, physically and most important socially, get out and meet people or join a group.

Thank you all for sharing. My radical prostatectomy was on 3 Oct, almost a month ago. Catheter out on the 17th. I have been going through about 2-3 pads a day. The urine stream has been very inconsistent, with some only dribbling and some pretty strong. Today, I was unable to control/feel the leaks as much and it happened much more. And there was some pressure in the bladder, but no urge to go; only mostly dribbles, little flow, when I tried to pee. And I have not yet had a hard urge to pee, even when I feel that I have to go. Is the inconsistent flow and light urge something others have experienced?
