Thoughts, Prayers, and Supplications to Lady Luck (Please)
Under The Knife
Next Thursday 7 April 2022 will be my second-ever surgery.
(The other, a vasectomy, half a lifetime ago, barely counts — that was merely an in-office incision in my testicles after which I walked funny for a couple of weeks.)
No broken bones. No lobotomies. Not bad for 70 years! I ruptured my Achilles Tendon five years ago but made it through that with just a stabilization boot, crutches, and a walking cane for a half year.
This time around includes an overnight at the hospital.
GreenLight laser prostatectomy (aka photoselective vaporization of the prostate). Luckily no cancer — just a very common condition that explained to me why over the years I'd see older men stand at the urinal for an inordinate amount of time. What makes me most uncomfortable is the word catheter and the six week healing period.
And so — do keep me in your thoughts, prayers, supplications to Lady Luck, or any other mental/spiritual gymnastics you think may in any way help get me through this, emerging on the other end in good health.
Thank you!!!
