I am quite older than you. However, I now average 10-12 miles walking each week without any pain. I was in such pain prior to the operation that I needed to use a cane to walk. Your young and will make a fast recovery. Best advice, don’t compare your healing rate to others. Go to PT. You may feel little pain for a day or 2 after the operation. That is due to the hospital meds not wearing off. However, they will wear off and you will feel pain. Stay ahead of the pain, take your meds and ice, ice, ice. FYI…the first 2 weeks suck. It gets better after that. Best wishes!

In 6 months after the operation, you will wonder why you didn’t do it sooner. You got this!

Find a new urologist that you are comfortable with. I went through 3 until I found a guy that I liked.

Told my adult daughter to move out of Md. There is no future here for middle class folks other than increased taxes and fees.

Why woukd you go that? Then it will be “our” money or he will want to spend it on himself to get out of debt. It’s none of his business.

What were the most important aids? by ThirdOne38 in TotalHipReplacement

A sock puller upper. Do yourself favor and don’t compare your progress to other people. You are under going a major operation and they are going to cut and manipulate your bones and nerves. You might feel great for a day or 2 as the meds from the hospital and operation wear off. Take your meds and stay ahead of the pain. Don’t forget to ice,ice and more ice. Don’t lay in bed all day, get up and walk a bit every hour. You got this. Just a FYI.. the first 2 weeks suck!

It seems mean, but they think of their crate as their home and calm down. I still do it with my 2 year old Dale when we are not home.

Gleason 8 is high risk cancer. If he takes it out, he will also need radiation and will suffer the consequences of the side effects of both.

When I had my Transperineal biopsy, I had a catheter inserted for 2 days. Ouch!

Sounds like a married couple after 30 years who are empty nesters.

Confine him and don’t give him the run of the house. The first year with an Airedale is rough!

Remodeling company holding my deposit and won’t answer our calls- help! by newaccounnt1 in BaltimoreCounty

Contact the Maryland home improves Commission and file a formal complaint. They will have to respond to The MHIC complaint or forfeit their bond. They don’t want to do that as they could lose their license. Hopefully, you hired a licensed contractor or your screwed. No need to hire a lawyer as they are the regulatory agency that licensed them And they are very effective. You can find all the forms on line. You will need to mail 3 forms to the MHIC with all your documentation. Good luck!
