A week following admission Robert is much more comfortable, less confused and his appetite is beginning to return. Repeat bladder scans indicate that his bladder is emptying almost completely and his bowels are moving with regular oral laxatives. Robert no longer needs intermittent catheterisation (in/out). His dietary intake is improving and he is becoming more mobile which is helping to maintain regular bladder emptying and bowel movements. Robert has been commenced on finasteride to treat his enlarged prostate.
