They put me on Plavix 75mg for 21 days and a baby aspirin forever.

This prostate surgery seems too have taken someone in good shape for 79 and did more harm than good.

Still feel weak and light headed, but I still get out and walk, did 3 miles yesterday. Doesn't bother me at all, doc said I could start lifting weights again, but limit to 40 pounds. That seems a waste, they will laugh at me at the gym. Haven't went back to any weights yet because I know there will be lots of stress incontinence. Darn peeing issues drives me nuts. Never feel like need to pee during day unless I sit or lie on couch and read book for an hour, then pee just a little bit. Mostly just drip and stress incontinence at the slightest movement all day long. Strangely not much leakage after I get walking, but no feeling of needing to go after walk.
Now at night while sleeping I have the urge to pee really bad, 4 - 6 times and shoot a stream out like a teenager! But still leak all night and sometimes have to change the overnight Depends around 4 or 5 am. Why I have an urge at night and not during the day is a mystery. Drink lots of water during day. I stop drinking liquid around 7 or 8 PM and go to bed around 11PM to 11:30PM.

Don’t worry about using lower weights. What you want to do is enough reps that you can’t do anymore, that’s the key to getting a buildup of muscle. Your doctor having you do the lighter weights just because you are recovering. Once you are fully recovered from the surgery, you can move back up in weight.

Hopefully the incontinence will get better over time. It usually does.

Though I will leak really Heavily if I’m moving around a lot, I don’t leak it all laying down unless I sneeze or cough.

Yours should get a lot better, He does for most surgery patients.
