Introducting my self
Posted: Sun May 22, 2011 12:00 pm
Greetings,
My name is Mark; I live in Port Townsend, Washington; and just joined the FrankTalk fray this morning. I had prostate surgery on March 28, which went well, and got a PSA count that showed I am 'cancer-free' (until the next blood test, anyway) on May 10. I have been recuperating here in scenic PT-by-the-sea, luxuriating in the loving care of my wife and a full two months at home. (When we moved to PT in June of 2010, I kept my job with the state's emergency management division located south of Tacoma. It's a little too far for a daily commute, so I've been apartment-dwelling over there during the week and coming home on the weekends--this two months at home has been a real treat.) Having dodged the cancer bullet, the focus turns now to working (I'm starting back in this Monday, May 23) and continuing recovery from my operation's two primary side-effects, incontinence and impotence. I'll be back later--today, or this week--but, in signing off, Paul wanted to know where I'd learned about Franktalk. The answer is from a fellow worker who had exactly the same symtoms, health care provider and surgery as me. He had his surgery last September, was back to work in a month and has been very successful in dealing with his incontinence and impotence--so he is my inspiration and role model.
