So, itiis 1030 on the 18, 1 dat post op and I feel pretty good. Pain management is a good thing.). Most of my challanges have come from the inflateable pressure devices on my legs...itchy!!! Some paun when they first flushed my neo bladder but that's about it. I start my walking tomorrow maybe. Pain management says I get to keep the epidural until Sat at least. Anyhow, all is GOOD, very GOOD indeed. Rick

Thanks to all of you for helping me to normalize this experience. I go in to tomorrow thinking of my surgery as a gift and one that not everyone is lucky enough to have the chance to receive. Will report back as soon as possible. Rick
