    Cody's Health Problems

    Well, Don, "some" is better than what's happening currently, when it comes to my bladder spasms. Darn near every hour, on the hour, I get woke up with a bladder spasm. I have to sit down on the toilet and try and "grin and bare" the pain of letting the spasm stop. I then go back to bed and a few...

    Cody's Health Problems

    I can stand! I just can't be laying down or standing up and urinate in a urinal right now. However, I can stand up at the toilet and urinate, but I have to wait until the bladder spasms stop and I have to be sitting on the toilet to do that. I had the receptionist at radiation give my...

    Cody's Health Problems

    I already have one and it doesn't work laying down or sitting. I have to be standing/leaning against the wall in the back of the toilet to get my urination started. Before I started the radiation, I could use the urinal while laying in bed, but not currently while doing radiation.

    Nancy and I thank you so much. Currently it's pretty tough/painful for me during the night. I wasn't told just how painful the last couple of weeks would be, trying to deal with the bladder spasms and diarrhea, but then again, I didn't research "prostate cancer radiation effects" either. The...

    Cody's Health Problems

    Update: First, the my VA Medical is paying for all of my treatment, but it's shocking how little the VA pays. We get a "This Is Not A Bill" for all procedures I'm having done and the VA is paying a very small amount for all procedures. IOW, not even half of what each place is billing. Anyway...

    Cody's Health Problems

    I'm getting 28 radiation treatments. IOW, 5 weeks/3 days. As for B12, I take two 500 mcg (supplement) every morning after I first get up. Both give me a boost, but that "boost" only lasts for a couple of hours, at the most. I'm going to check with my VA doctor about getting a B12 shot...

    My radiation treatment/therapy isn't too bad. Like I was told by the Tech, I don't feel a thing when it's happening. There is a limitation of time, on what I can do and when I have to stop. I get woken up and have to urinate much more at night than I'd like to. There are times when I think my...

    A Tip Of The Cowboy Hat To All

    To this day, July 2025, still hooked on watching and supporting professional (PRCA) rodeo. Just got thru watching the Pro-Rodeo Hall Of Fame (Colorado Springs, CO) Induction on the Cowboy Channel. We are still have a yearly membership to the Hall and have attended the Induction when we lived in...

    Professions You Would Have Never Done Or Tried, But Didn't Like

    For me, any kind of hard labor, as in: construction, roofer, tow truck driver. I worked for a fence building company for less than 1/2 day, before I quit. I worked in a Machine Shop once for a very short time using a drill press and steel cutter. Definitely not my type of career either. My...

    Prostate Cancer Update: So far, so good, on the radiation therapy. My appointment time has changed at our request, due to traffic we encountered with appointments at 7:15AM, 7:30AM, 8:15AM and 8:30AM. We have to take two freeways to get to radiation and the freeway traffic at those times was...

    Newbie here..

    When we lived in northeastern Florida (Jacksonville), and had a circuit board go out on our big screen tv, had it replaced, and after that, we started shutting off our tv and computer when a t-storm would hit. Done the same thing when living in northern Colorado during a t-storm. Here in...

    My first radiation therapy was yesterday, Tuesday July 1st. and I done fine. I had another this morning and it went fine as well. Will write more on Friday. No radiation this Friday due to being a holiday, so I get three days off to relax, sleep and Nancy and I will play our Wii Game. Also...

    Does smoking turn you off?

    Well, some very high profile actors and actresses were heavy smokers during their lives, as in: George Burns who started smoking cigars at age 14 and died at age 100. Dean Martin who was a lifelong heavy cigarette smoker and died of Emphysema. He was diagnosed with lung cancer and was told he...

    My first radiation is this coming Thursday morning. I can only hope that, once I drink the two 16oz bottles of water, I can hold my bladder until the therapy is over. I've been told by my 1/2 brother, who went thru the radiation therapy, that each session is pretty short. It takes longer for the...

    How Do You Sleep II

    Neither of us take any kind of prescription med for sleep. I've been on 50mg Tramadol, that was prescribed to me a number of years ago. I was on Percocet for a time after my left rotator cuff surgery/rehab sometime around 2014 that I had done thru Medicare and my Drug Plan (not thru the VA). My...

    One thing I really don't understand is: All of us hear, and sometimes see, the survivors of lady's breast cancer, but how often, if at all, do we hear about/see those men that have survived prostate cancer? And, there are ads on tv, pretty constantly, asking for money for two different...

    Christian And Christian Based Movies: Good And Bad

    Bad: Yesterday, watched for the first time, and last time, a movie called Legion (2010) on tv. It was Christian based, but very, very scary. The plot: God got fed up with humanity, for whatever reason/reasons, and sent Archangel Gabriel and whomever (of which I didn't understand their...

    How Do You Sleep II

    This isn't the same thread/topic as the other one, "How Do You Sleep?". This is about what you take/use to help you get to sleep and stay asleep. However, at our ages, staying asleep seems not to happen due to urine/bathroom wake-ups in the middle of the night. Also, any stressful thoughts we...
