Were you having any particular symptoms prior to surgery ?

---

Never had any symptoms. Was being monitored for several years due to PSA steadily climbing. After last jump from 15 to 22 in 6 months they did MRI and another biopsy and found cancerous tumor this time. No pain before, no urination issues, … kinda scary that this might have gone undetected if not for a random blood test a few years ago

Dad went this morning for his cystoscopy and he has an enlarged prostate. At this point it’s too large to be treated with just medication. Thankfully, non-cancerous. Just curious if anyone has had the surgery, how it went, etc?

---

I had a robotic prostatectomy just three weeks ago to remove my enlarged prostate (53yo - 22 PSA). Surgeon said normally they weigh about 20-30g when they remove a cancerous prostate - mine was 100g!! The size caused my bladder to take a little longer to recover and had to have catheter for 2 weeks (though I hear 2 is usually the norm - mine originally said I would only need it for a week).

Surgery was pretty easy. Took pain medication in the hospital, but never needed it after I left the next day. Only issue now that the catheter is removed is the occasional urine squirt that will surprise me here and there - but that has improved tremendously in the last week. Not expected to need radiation or chemo in the future.

Just order some ALP's, they are awesome.

---

Curious ... I ordered a few different flavors of ALP about a month ago. Flavors are very good, but they were all really hard and compacted when I got them. They do soften up after a few minutes ... just wondering if that maybe happened during shipping or if that is actually normal for that brand. If it's normal then probably won't buy them again. NYKD has been my go to since - they last a long time, most of the flavors are really good, and they don't hurt my mouth at all.

Does she break up with him now they lost?

I saw about 8 bottles out on the counter at Harvest in Dutchtown this morning.

This is the wife ... haven't figured out the daughter's name yet.

Did he sing that Wake Up song? Something like wake up wake up you little sleepy head get your little buns out of bed, both cheeks now…..

I don’t know the name of the song.

---

I remember that song playing on J.R.'s show - not sure who sang it though. He was on a few different local stations back in the '80s.

and on just 3 pitches!

I think I saw the shed was closing. If I rmember that is her Dad. I wonder how much this had to do with it. I'm sure its hard to focus on running a business after this type of tragedy

---

Her dad was an investor and was not involved in the daily operations. Her stepmom ran the restaurant before the incident and several of her siblings worked there as well.

Surely solving Allie Rice's murder is going to be a prime topic among this group.
