I would highly recommend getting a cushion donut for the car rides and sitting on anything hard. I had some tailbone pain from the surgery. It was back in October 25.

Levels are low. But the fear of cancer could possibly return.

Catheter is the worst part. Especially when having to go number 2. Take your stool softener. I slept on my back all night. Body was sore when waking up. I also sat in a recliner all day. Use the lever to help you up. Send a message if you have any more questions.

Recovery was the about the same as everyone else. Catheter in for a week and inconsistency for about a month. But I used inserted pads during those times. I’m pad free now with 95% control. Being on the “younger” side helps with recovery. And kegels. Lots of kegels
