Saw the urologist today. Went over many options. Mine are limited. Bottom line - surgery to remove bladder stones and part of the prostate. See doc Jan 6 and take out catheter that day. Set up surgery. Recovery after surgery at least a month or more. Other options are inconvenient or have limited positive results long term. Will try and work up to the surgery if possible.

Thanks for the update.
For those of us that pray we can be more specific.

Neighbor friend had a catheter for about 2 months till they figured out what to do with him and eventually surgery. At least you're on the faster track. Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery.

It’s to bad they can’t use ultrasonic sound to dissolve the stones. I hope it all goes your way.

Oh ok. Just checking. Thanks for your timely response buddy. How is KC? There is about a foot or so of snow here and temperatures are supposed to drop to the teens.

The laser took care of my prostrate and my bladder, but I had to go back every three months for the first five years now it's every six months. It's not so bad, I get to be a TV star while he is doing it. But it does hurt, but it doesn't take him long. We are good buds. If it wasn't for my urologist, my dermatologist, and my cardiologist, I wouldn't any friends at all. The stage has your back, G'Man, we love you and we are going to pray for you, buddy.
