@fritzo

It sounds that you are in pretty good shape @fritzo : )) and I understand that it all sounds overwhelming and scary but try to keep in mind that most people actually were surprised how fast recovery goes and how simple is actual care of catheter and bags etc etc. I was also panicking about my husband's surgery and read tons of articles and was totally OVER-prepared : /.
If you wish you can read my mini blog here : https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/surf-is-up/
It describes post op day-to-day and than week to week - I wrote it so new patients can read in detail my husband's experience with RARP. Skip chit-chat in between ; ).
Most people have no "fan" experience ; ), it usually goes smoothly and is usually just annoying period - just take it easy, I can not stress enough that part. Everybody is different and recovery is not competition, not even with yourself ;).

If you use "search option" you can find many stories here as well as many useful advice about what to buy or what to have handy and links to many useful videos. : )

BUT, the most important thing is to find the best surgeon that you can find - one that did thousands of RARP surgeries and follow all instructions to a T and you will most probably have very fast recovery. : )))
