Wanted me to go home with the catheter and in seven days he would see
me in his office, then he'll tell me.

You are going to have a catheter for seven days? I had a traditional TURP
in 98 and only had a catheter for a couple of days. I would be questioning
my doctor about having one for a week. They are pretty miserable.

If you read back in other postings you will see that Ramon had his PVP in
early July but is still having problems.

Also, some of Ramon's problems may have due to his beating the bishop way
too soon after surgery.

Also, returning to physical labor, days after TURP ('05) and PVP
(09Jul'08)
None of the uros spent one minute with me advising NOT TO BEAT THE
Bishop or PHYSICAL LABOR FOR X AMOUNT OF DAYS. It's been sink or swim
throughout my unnecessary ordeal.
Have had no physical work for the last 5 days, sans hematuria, or
clots. Peeing clear with strong steady stream. Bowel movements have
been very thorough since PVP.
Meeting with Uro of Univ of Mia on 9/3.
Thanks
Ramón

Ramon, you read this NG for a long time and must have read the does and
don't after the procedure. The UK hospital I went to gave me a print out of
the pre tests, the operation and what to do afterwards.
I posted a link to the PDF several times over the years and it is similar to
what is on other urology sites. The PDF seems not to be online now but the
write up on the hospital site is exactly the same.
