I should have stayed home

[The Spaceman_imp]

After not being able to pee for 3 days and having a catheter in for 6 weeks (still working and riding my bikes),the operation was not as bad as I thought. They put you to sleep and about 1 hour later it is over.
I stayed in the hospital for one night and came home the next morning.
That afternoon I felt good enough to go back to work and that was my downfall.
Altough I took 3 weeks off from my job I started to do yard work after a few days and than the bike ride on sunday.
Sitting on a bike seat is different as you sit more on your prostate area than your butt cheeks.
I do not want to turn this in a medical thread but know that we have many members my age (63) or close and it is a mans problem when you get older.
To take care of all the wear of years of use I also asked if they could do an extension but no luck !!!

Houtman, have you heard of the Airhawk R?

Maybe it can help you going forward. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

Great suggestion! I love mine; I just put it on last night getting ready to head to Daytona tomorrow. It makes it so much easier to ride for days at a time. And it has a minor side-benefit of giving you a bit under an inch of extra seat height, so the legs are a little straighter.
