Thank you for your encouragement and I understand you’re in ability to not gain four continents. I religiously do my Keagle exercises and are now starting to feel that they help. I will continue with a positive attitude and thanks to people like you could give me my encouragement. Stay well and healthy and continue to do whatever makes you happy.

Myy husband is five months out post surgery for removal of the prostate. He is 78. He is down to changing the pad once a day. He has to pee every 2 to 3 hours or it starts to leak a little. He was told 9 months to regain continence so we are patient and it improved greatly at about four months. He does not have a sensation of needing to go he just has to be proactive. His PSA is great .1 so we are grateful he chose surgery and did not have to have the hormone therapy.

One additional procedure I did to speed up the continence was to attempt to stop the urine flow while urinating. It was not easy to do at first but in no time I was able to "close it off" a few times each trip. I hope this helps and best of luck to you and all.
