Two days after surgery all I needed was Acetaminophen for the pain. Four days after surgery, I drove to three clients offices to work on their computer problems. Seven days after I went to work full-time. I had robotic assisted surgery and the incisions never bothered me.

The catheter was a real convenience since I didn’t have to really go to the bathroom for 14 days to pee. Yeah, I had to empty the bag occasionally, but that was not difficult at all. And it was strapped around my leg when I went to clients offices. Nobody had any idea I had surgery.

I just can’t understand why they need to do open surgery, but there must be some medical issue that requires it. If you have that incision from naval to right above your pubic bone, it’s going to be difficult for a little while to recover. A lot more difficult than robot assisted surgery, where they make small incisions that heal very quickly.
