Finally, John had his prostectomy at Amyo last Friday. Everything went well. All cancer confined to the prostrate. The robot did it with only 5 small holes in his belly. The robot actually cuts the prostrate out and spares nerves; puts it in a baggie while in the abdomin and pulls it through the belly button. Amazing. He was walking that evening and eating a turkey sandwich. Was released from the hospital on Sat. and went back to the Hampton Inn where we have a suite with a kitchen and separate bedroom. His biggest complaint and that is huge is the GAS PAINS! He has to walk and walk to rid of the gas. He seems very tired and isn't hungry. But, I keep pushing the water and juices. We hope to get the catheter out on Friday and go back home to Vegas on Sunday. The doctor wants to make sure he can urinate on his own before leaving Scottsdale. I am doing alot of reading and sitting in the AZ sun. Just wanted to update everyone on his progress. It will just take time to heal now. Judy :app:
