Exhale and smile
There are very minor post-surgery lingering effects - some traces of blood in the urine, which is expected, but it's not alarming; some occasional light headedness and the fact that I can't walk as fast as I usually do - my stamina isn't quite up to par just yet. But, given patience and time, it should stabilize. The most stringent things that are not permitted during the recuperation period (6 to 8 weeks) is heavy lifting; no gym; no running, etc. I basically need to be taking it easy.
On the upside, I'm already feeling the major positive effects of the aquablation - I don't have to get up 3, 4 or 5 times a night; there's no straining and overall, it's been discomfort-free. Whatever it's worth, I'm glad I did this. It will bring down my PSA level and that will, in turn, help minimize the chances of prostate cancer. To have surgery for the first time at 59 is unnerving. Anyone who says otherwise is full of bravado and lying. It's difficult because you don't know - something could go wrong.
I'm just very relieved to say in my case, it seems, everything went right. And for that, I am grateful.
