I am scheduled for prostate surgery on September 6. It is stage 1 cancer which most likely is contained only in the prostate. I expect a full recovery and am looking forward to SCM championships in Long Beach in December.
I have been told the recovery time is only a few days but obviously no swimming until the catheter is removed which will be 2 weeks.
My question is have any of you been through this and what was your experience with regard to swimming?
Thanks!!!

Jim,
I expect I will be a little higher in the water....is that me at your toes???
Also Jim I had a great talk with John, he was very helpful and encouraging. Thank you so much for that!
Rich,
I did speak with BD and we had a very good conversation. He gave me some good advice that I will heed. I can't thank you enough for getting me in contact with him.

Oddly enough, this morning in workout I was talking to a lane mate and it turns out that he may have prostate cancer too. He has kind of had his head in the sand on this and thought if he would ignore it it would go away. I gave him some very friendly but stern advice. He told me he will call his urologist today. I'll check tomorrow.
The support I have gotten here has been wonderful!!! It is really nice to be a part of such a caring group of people. Aw shucks!!!
