I've got issues


There are some issues that bubble to the surface when recovering from treatment that should be addressed (feel free to either provide insight or add issues of your own to those below):
  1. What the heck does one do with leftover diapers? Mine are unused (I'm sure you're happy to know that.), and will not, hopefully, be needed in the immediate future. I did reserve one to utilize as a pistol range target...sort of a “Take that incontinence,” statement.
  2. Approaching three months following surgery, how can I continue to use my “condition” to get out of doing things like shoveling snow, vacuuming, washing the car, and attending events I'd rather ditch?
  3. What do I say to people who ask if I'm OK? I've never had cancer before, how the hell should I know?
  4. When people ask me if “everything” is working...how much to they really want to know; and how much is any of their business?
  5. Is it inappropriate to discuss my catheter experience while out drinking wine with friends?
  6. Does anyone really want to see the incisions?
  7. Will husbands get pissed if I continue to tell wives they should nag their spouse about prostate health? Do I care?
    I'm sure there are more but you know, ever since the surgery, I've noticed I...oops, almost started again.
