Aviator, I am happy to hear you are doing well. It only reinforces what I have heard several times that there is little difference in the two procedures if both are done properly. Sometimes I think that they should just not use the term open as it sounds so invasive....guess it is, but tends to put you off needlessly. I am much better day by day, but am still impatient with the continence thing. I try not to read the stories about throwing away the pads the first day, likewise the sad story of those that never seem to get better. I am just trying to keep my head down and do the Kegels. I miss working out and I don't quite feel like playing golf just yet.
I was actually a little reluctant to even mention the continence issue, because it almost sounds like I'm bragging about something, even though it's not "my" accomplishment. But some of the people who are reading these threads are looking for encouragement that these problems don't always occur, so I think it's worthwhile to post the good along with the bad, especially for the benefit of those who are trying to decide what to do.
