...since my ptocedure.  I'm off the post-surgery meds.  I don't feel much different yet.  The urge to pee may be a little bit less.  I still get up a couple times at night.  I'm lucky if I can sleep 4 or 5 hours ar night.  My bowel movements aren't back to normal,  I anticipate that everything will improve over the next several weeks.  Is that correct?   I'm off the prostate med Jalyn. Once I'm off it for 6 months, I'm looking forward to going back to being a blood donor again.

    Yes, Bruce, you're doing just like we are. The thing to remember is patience. It is going to take awhile before your swelling goes down and things begin to improve. I'm almost 6 weeks post surgery and I'm just now beginning to notice things getting better. As for the bowel issue, you could try stool softeners. They worked well to get me back to normal movements.
