The last couple of days were great! Waking, showering, medicating and taking a nice mile and a quarter walk to our local park with the three kids. Getting a chance to chat with them about their lives and quizzing them on big things at school and the world around them. Great question from my daughter Helen, "Daddy, which of us is the most like you when you were little?"
Great question. I explained that there were different parts of me in each of the three of them from the physical - the size of Jack's head - to the mental - Michael's temper and Helen's self-criticism.
I am so humbled by the gifts from so many friends. Thanks to everyone! My family and I are enjoying everything like the wine, fruit, candies and cookies! This has got to be the best part of having you prostate removed.
On the other end is the Foley catheter and bladders. This is becoming more and more difficult. With the nearly constant bladder pressure whenever I am not lying flat on my back and periodic leaks. Not little drip, drop leaks, but like a garden hose has sprung a leak out of nowhere. Going through lotsa towels!
Tomorrow the catheter is removed at 10:00 AM at MSKCC. I also get the Pathology report at that time. This is the next major bridge. All touch and go on using diapers, pads and plans. Heard this is the hardest part -- amy be sleeping in a new room -- think Cathy is purchasing a mobile to entertain me while I a in the bed!
