    had to have them give me a 'painkiller', not so much for pain but for the catheter itching afterward (nasty feeling) ... catheter is out now and I'm back home resting and pissing as needed ... suppose to do 'nothing' for 2 weeks (two week vac), dont lift over 10lbs, etc. then back to work on the 19th .... but no hunting for 4-6 weeks .. same for running, no strenuous exercise .. I'm bored already .........

    If things keep going the way they are now, I'm planning on being in a tree Oct. 31/Nov. 1 .. thats at the lower end of the 'full recovery time' of 4-6wks ... hopefully I can get 4 days in (days off/Fri/Sat's) before gun opens on the 15th (weather permitting of course) ....... I'm gonna start shooting the bow again this Monday .. doc says as long as there isnt any bleeding I should be ok(heck there isnt now), that will be one week after the TURP .... very happy with the results so far ...
