Welcome, Hotelgurl. But we are sorry you had
reason to find such a group.

It is my experience that surgery "takes a lot out of you".
Couple that with the very common and long persisting
fatigue associated with TM, and it is not surprising that
he has no energy. It should improve a bit with time.

This asymmetry is also common. Peripheral and skin
circulation are influenced by the sensory damage. Ask your
doctor to be sure since other conditions can be involved.
How old is your husband?

I'll answer [for myself] your other question with a
question: What is a "bladder augmentation"?
