Well, things did not go as well as hoped, so I am back under (probably next Thursday) for a less traumatic redo. I'll still be down and out for about a week, as a guess.
tvtech wishes you a speedy recovery and I believe you will be OK.
The Internet needs a few Champions. I believe you are one of them. Good flows through your veins.
God Speed and a hasty recovery. If I just killed this thread...well so be it. I will not apologize for anything said here....all I have said I believe is true.
Sorry to hear that a few finishing touches were required to your surgery, Bill. Your situation sounds very similar to mine, after my operation last year.
I had to go back for more work after my prostate reduction, to have my urethra widened with some rather frightening looking probes, yet, after a horrific couple of weeks following that procedure, during which I was convinced I would be hobbled by a catheter for life, total normalcy and perfect health did return, allowing the desperate resolution that was forming in my mind to dispel forever.
Hang in there and the gloom will lift in a short period of time, so that you can worry less and start to enjoy this precious life all the more.
I don't check the Off Topic forum very often. I'm very sorry that you're having to endure another session under the knife. My very best wishes for a happy & healthy outcome this time around!
