Had RLP seven weeks ago. Can definitely see continence steadily improving. I clearly leak more when I am active, especially later in the day when muscles are somewhat fatigued, but I think that is improving also. I do Kegels daily but admittedly not the quantity my nurse recommended when I had my catheter removed. The pad I wear at night has minimal urine in the morning. During the day I easily detect the need to urinate and have a reasonably strong stream. I can hold my urine pretty much as needed and consider that an extended Kegel. I put on a fresh pad each morning and usually wear it comfortably all day. My next step is moving from the maxi to the medium, then the light. I’m a 74 year old man and sound like a teenage girl discussing my period with the school nurse. You gotta keep a sense of humor about this crap!

When a bunch of us get together after golf or pickleball, we inevitably get around to discussing our latest medical predicaments, including prostate issues. We call it organ recital.
