I appreciate the thoughts and prayers guys. Survived the surgery and got released this afternoon - all went well. Now I just have to take it real easy for the next few weeks - shouldn't be a problem.
Doing pretty good - just taking it real easy. I do have a warning for everyone. The Urologist explained everything to me yesterday and it was an eye opener. For years my regular doctor has done a digital exam and told me that the prostate was "slightly" enlarged but was nothing to worry about. It turns out that a normal prostate weighs approx. 20 grams and during the surgery they removed about half and it weighed 96 grams so my prostate was about 10 times its normal size - slightly more than "slightly" enlarged. Because of its size it wasn't getting sufficient blood flow and was actually dying. If anyone's doctor tells them the prostate is slightly enlarged I would suggest having it checked further - it's much better to have it taken care of early than waiting until everything is blocked up.
