PVP and me.

It's not an operation (is it?) It's a procedure. Performed in a hospital under general anesthesia. And embarrassing to talk about - lucky for you - a little less so to write about. This WILL challenge my skills however, to avoid the gross out.

I write this to give hope for others challenged by the same condition. Okay, I write it to get a laugh. Heck. Reader's Digest says Laughter is The Best Medicine. And by the way - this blog does accept co-pay!

I have decided to go for it after exhausting the various meds which didn't help.

Have you ever been blinded at night by those new ultra bright headlights on the newer luxurymobiles? --- you know, the ones that vaporize deer? Well, this is sort of the same thing.

A "bus," with very VERY bright green headlights, drives up the tunnel till it approaches the toll booth at the exit of the tunnel where the headlights shine soOOO brightly, they actually vaporize the toll booth, allowing better traffic flow for the foreseeable future.

Most men either do or will need this sort of thing. Though I doubt Hallmark has cards.

Sorry you have to sneak
to take another leak
but glad the laser could shine
and make you feel so fine

Naaa. That's not it. How about...

Whenever you had to pee
I hope you didn't think of me
but now that you had Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate
may your visits to the restroom be first rate!

The PVP (Photoselective Vaporization of the Prostate) procedure using the GreenLight laser system offers a unique and simple solution to BPH because it combines the effectiveness of TURP, the surgical "gold standard" with the safety, comfort and ease of a minimally invasive treatment.

The PVP procedure uses a very high powered laser to immediately vaporize and precisely remove enlarged prostate tissue.

Most patients return home a few short hours after the procedure and can return to normal, non-strenuous activities within days. PVP delivers the ultimate BPH solution - free from urinary symptoms, free from compromise, free to go!

Free to go. Nice wording there.

The doc says it takes about an hour and a half to 2 hours.

Friday is the day.
