I essentially had emergency surgery last night. My prostate started bleeding heavily filling up my bladder and then clotting, blocking the exits. The CT scan show 75 clots.
It was an interesting night. I'm sort of comfortable but l think a clot mat have just blocked my catheter.
The procedure was this morning. I think they called it an embolism procedure. It was done by the radiologist. Two and a half hours. I was awake but not hurting during the procedure. It went great until the procedure meds started to wear off. I've had about six hours of very challenging pain, but they did apparently get the bleeding stopped, which was crucial.
Cannot express my gratitude for all the prayer and messages of support. I'll be here at least two more days.
