If it was my wiliy they were blasting away, they could probably do it in 5 minutes with a laser pointer!
Yeah I'm on the "urgent" list for a HoLEP operation. A TURP won't cut the mustard (deliberate pun) as my Prostate gland is 132cc when it should be 25-35cc for my age.
I've had bleeding too, acute urinary retention, plus a UTI that bordered on sepsis and had me bedridden for 2 weeks! It ain't nice at all, is it?
8.5mm? Ouch!!! They haven't said how wide the laser is but I suspect it's not tiny.
The consultant's words regarding anaesthetic were, "There is a choice between having a general, and a spinal one where you can be awake while we do it." My response was, "No, there's really no choice whatsoever in that last statement!!!"
Hence, I don't know what I can plan for when as regards trips next year, or what I will be riding.
It's why I'm having a total re-think on the two wheel transport front, and why I've sold most of my collection of bicycles. Sitting on bicycle saddles and in a traditional position on motorbikes definitely hasn't caused the enlarged prostate, but it hasn't helped.
Basically, I need to stop doing sh!t that harms me, so I am.
