AH>Hi, Daryl!  Awhile ago you wrote in a message to ALL:

Ardith,

AH>I understand you experienced some discomfort at first, but that's par
AH>for the course.  Are you satisfied with the results of the procedure now?  :

  Well, I was...but it ended up being "undone".

  The procedure itself is where a device goes up through the penis and
urethra, then opens like things you'd put on window blinds to hold them
open. The "staples" basically hold the lobes of the prostate open, so
the flow out of the urinary bladder isn't blocked.

  But, one of the kidney stones lodged next to one of the staples, so
all that had to be undone, and part of the prostate had to be removed.

  Had they removed all of the prostate, it likely would mean no chance
for prostate cancer, but also permanent erectile dysfunction, and
possibly no more digital rectal exams. But, they only took part of it
out. I can urinate better, but there is a lot more urgency now.

Daryl
