After a long and complicated 6 hour prostate removal surgery, my Dad came out of surgery late last night. His Doctor said the surgery was successful and it appeared that all the cancer is out and contained in the prostate that was removed. His bladder needed minor repair, but he should have much relief now. Since the size of his prostate was the size of a cantaloupe and a normal size being the size of a plum, it was definitely causing some discomfort with his bladder.
So he was in a lot of pain, but the doctor expects him to be walking the halls today and leaving to return home tomorrow. He does have quite a journey of healing ahead and you can pray for his pain. He said it was a 9 on a scale of 10 and he has high pain tolerance. When he was out of his surgery, he was so glad it was over, definitely saying some "funny Duane" things like where we were going for breakfast in the morning which is something we do most Saturdays. :) Thank you again for your prayers!!! We just praise God for the good reports and being behind the surgery. Now onto recovery....
