Good news at last ! I finally got the prostate meds I waited a week for , and await the nurse's call with a time to come over and get decathed . This medicine is for bph , or enlarged prostate . Some of the side effects include dizziness , drowsiness , chest pains , and painful , long-lasting erections . I just hope that last one waits until after the removal , I don't think the catheter is compatible with an erection . Theoretically , this will reduce the urgency of my need to urinate , which would be good . The brand name is Flomax , the generic is Tamsulosin Hydrochloride  . I assume this will be a maintenance medication that I'll be taking as long as it works .
  Had potato soup for supper , made by a friend of the family . Excellent choice for a cool fall evening . No matter how healthy I try to eat , I still can't shake the extra 50 or so pounds I'm carrying . Good day , all , and God bless you .
