First Doctor visit post-op

I had my first post-op Doctor visit on Thursday August 2nd; the news was good. The pathology report was good showing that the entire tumor had been removed. Meaning that the surgery was a complete success.

I was sent for blood work to check my PSA level. It came back at 0 which was expected; more good news.

The only drawback is dealing with the incontinent issues from the surgery. I am being sent for some physical therapy to help strengthen the pelvic muscles. But my first appointment is not until September 6th. My Doctor did prescribe some medication to help and it seems to be helping a little.

So for the first time in over a year and a half I don't have any major health issues staring me in the face. Nice!!!

Still outstanding is a final resolution to my large Duke bill, but I hope that is resolved soon.

My next Doctor visit is early October. I will post another update then.
