Postop recovery will get easier.
Catheter: you will become more comfortable with it. Catheter cleaning videos helpful to avoid infection. I only had large night bag; kept it in a plastic cleaning bucket by my side.
Walked 20 - 30 mins in 5 min stretches around the house.
Kegel exercises after catheter removal. PT helpful to me.
I strictly observed lifting restrictions for 2-3 mos.
You will get better soon.
RP in Aug 2022. 72 yrs old. My surgical recovery was excellent.
Hopefully you will get a great result.

Michael thank you for sharing and your encouragement. I never knew this would have the emotional impact it does on me . Being one who doesn’t usually show emotion my eye have been opened, be it only a few times, but very surprising to me. Back to original post 3+3=6 may not need any action or in my case, action, RP . In 7 days I will have more definitive info (was I just a 6, or is it a higher Gleason) just under rated. I do come from the belief if a sticker is in my hand get it out so it heal and stop hurting. Still no regrets.
