I miss my dog

Well, its been 2 weeks post hospital stay. Foley came out on day 4 but still can't pee on my own so intermittent catheterization it is. There's a certain advantage to knowing exactly when you're going to pee every day. No more scrambling for a rest room when out and about.

Barrage of tests this week to find out what's really going on. We'll see.

Dog is doing great in his new digs and the new cat is settling in nicely with me.

It's good to see you are moving in a positive direction.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
My personal experience. Sounds like things went much better for you.

Good luck with the upcoming tests, it seems things are heading in a better direction.

Just got back from prostate biopsy. I would not recommend putting this on your bucket list. Results in week or two. Fingers crossed.

Glad you got good care to start with, as Q said,

Hope you find the problem and they can fix you up!

So sorry to hear, but glad you were seen quickly. Sending prayers for you to heal.

Ooof. Prostate biopsy. Been there, done that. Quite unpleasant for sure. Prayers for you ...

Yea...12 snips, 10 were fine. 2 of them sent me to the ceiling even after a second shot of lidocaine. Three different people said I would feel pressure but no pain. They all lie.

Thanks for the prayers, all.

Yep, I almost puked during mine..

Prostate biopsy results came back, and Doc just called. Adenocarcinoma, Gleason score 9. PET scan ASAP. On the bright side, now we know what caused the renal failure.

Hope your weekend starts out better.

Best wishes for a full recovery!

pace, I'm sending very good thoughts your way.

First off, praying for a successful outcome for you.

Secondly, why the heck did I read this while eating dinner?

Prayers for you. Let us know the PET results.

as a kidney stone producer (thankfully I pass them relatively easily) reading these threads freak me out a bit,

however they are also informative on what to look for and do incase,


sorry you have to go thru this, but thank you for letting us know

And just yesterday I had a prostate biopsy and they stuck a camera up my dick

My new name might become P. Ross Tate

Pace40, I don’t even want to think of prostate biopsy. Heard too many horror stories already…
Let us know how your treatment plan is going.
Prayers brother.
