Have you farted yet?

If you're asking my dad then the answer is yes!

His robotic prostectomy went well. The procedure as a whole took 3 hours from pre-op room to post-op room and bleeding was contained at 500mL (slightly more than usual because some of the bleeders were near nerve plexi that the surgeon wasn't going anywhere near with a cauterizer). The surgeon caught the tough old stuborn man walking around the ward about 12 hours after surgery and promptly told him to get back to bed. Doctors truely are the worst patients.

30 hours post-op he was back home and eating solid food AND refusing pain meds. I love my dad, one day I hope I'm as stuborn and tough as he is.
