I am not sure of all of the consequeces yet as I had mine removed on Thanksgiving eve, but if your insurance will pay for it have them use the Da Vinci robot to do the procedure.
I am off of work for 6 weeks and now 2 weeks later I am working on my car again (light tasks like burnouts, etc.) I plan on putting in a new radiator today. Overall I feel pretty good. I will keep you posted on the little mans performance, in an informative way of course. Craig's reply // It's been 11 weeks since I had the surgery. Little man is peeing fine,not leaking,but he refuses to stand at attention as of now! I'm hoping the wife can convince him to soon with some close help!! lol. keeping my fingers crossed everyday, but I'm glad to be alive!!
