I had the big op on the 8th. All went well. Apparently the penectomy seems to have got the whole cancer, and as the lymph they took were cancer cell free, I might have dodged the bullet. I don’t know how I feel about the new me yet. Apart from the predictable pain and discomfort, I wouldn’t know bits were missing

I have three drain lines, a morphine delivery line and a catheter. Sort of hampers movement a bit. I did get vertical yesterday and will again sometime today when I can snag a passing nurse.

And after taking several readings I’m surprised to find my mind is still fairly sound ”
