I went to the doctor with what I thought was a bladder infection.  I had all the symptoms except the pain.  Turns out I have an enlarged prostate that they will need to do surgery on to trim if down a little.  Thank goodness no cancer.  I go to the hospital Tuesday morning, and I will need to spend the night so they can monitor the bleeding.  If all looks good I can come back home sometime Wednesday.

Dang! Get well soon. 

@Bankbeater, my wife and I will add u ou to our prayer list.

Good luck. I got a buddy that just had that done. He had bleeding for a few days but all is well now.

Prayers for a successful surgery and a fast recovery Bankbeater.

Hang in there Bankbeater! Hoping your surgery goes well.

Here's to an uneventful procedure

and a speedy non-complicated recovery . . .

Good Luck

Good luck with the surgery, and hope you have a really fast recovery pal!

 

Glad it wasn't something more serious.  It will be nice to have that taken care of.  Here's to a smooth procedure!

Oh wow, sorry to hear that! So glad it wasn’t cancer. Good luck with the procedure …  

I hope all goes well and you come home soon. 
So glad it wasn’t more serious

I’m praying for you. That’s a miserable situation you’re in right now, but it won’t be long till you’re peeing over the fence. 

good luck my friend

Thanks everyone!

I don't mind going in for a trim, but I want to come home with all of my original equipment.

Well, prior to the procedure it’s more like shave, but bikini season is over, so you should be good  

Hope all goes well.  I assume you aren't on blood thinners.  That's a plus.

 

Personally at the point where I need to consider getting something done with my prostrate so I can do more than dribble.    😨  And I ain't talking basketball.

 

I don't know anything about how your operation will be done, but I shaved my chest when I was in the hospital for my brain tumor.  Made the nurses job easier and caused me less pain.  And shaving wasn't painful unlike what Steve Carell endured in "The 40 Year Old Virgin".  🤣

 

 

Just seeing this @Bankbeater. I’ll be praying for you, your family and your surgical team.

Prayers your way 

Praying for you @Bankbeater, 2025 is going to be a better year for you 

I'm back home and on the mend.  Came home Wednesday afternoon with a list of things to do and things not to do.  Big one is to keep drinking water and keep everything hydrated.  The other big thing is not to lift anything more than 10 lbs for the next two weeks.

That’s great! Do you still have all of your equipment?

     Glad the operation went well.  Be good to yourself, and be on the water next spring.

Glad all went well
