In a stored procedure, is it possible to get the total number or rows updated by different statements?

I have a bunch of stored procedures that look like something this

```
CREATE PROCEDURE example()
BEGIN
    UPDATE STATEMENT A;
    UPDATE STATEMENT B;
    UPDATE STATEMENT C;
END//
```

When I run them through MySQLWorkbench after it completes they will return a response of,

```
5 row(s) affected
```

However that is only the count for the rows updated by the last statement, not all of the rows effected by the stored procedure.

Is there a way to write the stored procedure so that the number of rows effected will be the total number of rows instead of just the last update?

mysql

mysql stored-procedures rows-affected
