Re: PVP on Aug 23 2005 in Boca Raton

I had my pvp on June 2nd. Took off a week from work just because I didn't
know what to expect. Went back to work and had little to no blood which has
now completely gone away about 3 weeks ago.

I started walking first after about 2 months and am now jogging for 20
minutes at 5.1 on the treadmill. Pre pvp I was running 40 minutes at 7.2.
Never needed any pain pills, not even aspirin and my doc told me to stop the
uroxatrol prior to the surgery. I'll have my 3+ month checkup on Sept 2. All
things considered this was the right decision for me.

Hope you have an easy recovery..
