Home from Corrective Surgery #4

Wow, the brotherhood is strong tonight, I can feel it!

Thank you Neal and Mike.

Brother Sonny, many thanks and appreciated your last call too.

David/CPA, in the midst of all this, I had a good interview yesterday after all this time for a new Controller's job local to me, and no sooner than I got home from the hospital, got a call setting up the stage for a second technical interview next week.

Neil, my good friend, lets talk soon on the phone, perhaps tommorow if you have time.

Thanks, Rob, will do just that. Told my wife that for the next two days, going to make myself chill from a lot of my regular household duties and running endless errands. I got to get use to the two caths, until this evening, I forgot how really annoying a standard Foley catheter is in the old penis. In the end, I am glad my surgeon made the new SP catheter the active one, after all these months I have gotten pretty use to it being there. For now, the UTI is gone, and with fresh catheters in place, and another 7 days of antibiotics, hoping to have some relief in that department too. My uro/surgeon will be checking all my new systems this coming Monday.

Thanks to all my good brothers/sisters here, couldn't ask for a more caring group.

Thank you so much, Bob, best to you too.

David,at a time like this words dont help much i will just let you know I am with you!

Billy, so glad to hear from you, my best mate from down under. Hoping to make the chat this evening (US time), don't believe we had your company last weekend. I have said all along in my PC journey, that I will never go down with this horrible cancer until it takes me out against my will. Until them, it keeps getting a hell of a fight from me, as long as I am able. Yesterdays deal, was not totally unexpected, and it was not a walk in the park. But thankful I made it through it, and once again, want to thank the staff at St. Francis Hopsital in Greenville, SC. It was my 7th surgery there, and its no wonder that they win the "Best Patient Care" award in our state year after year. The pre-op, OR, and recovery room nurses there are so caring and compassionate in a sincere way.

Zach, thank you, your support and friendship is appreciated and needed.

Thank you too, In This Together Wife, perhaps soon you will give us a shorter name or your real name to call you by, save some keystrokes, lol. Good luck to you guys too.

Tim, not sure about the tough part, I get scarred and on edge as much as the next guy. I feel I have had no choice but to keep plugging alone forward. As I sit here this morning, sore and with 2 catheters coming out of me at the same time, does make me wonder.

Oh yes, I remember now, Bear and Carebear.

THanks, Wigged, that is the game plan, to rest and heal and get going again

Thanks Ed, my bladder has been through living hell the past 15 months. The past almost 4 months has been rough in particular between the 30 sessions of SRT and this seeminly endless time with the SP cath. Hoping it all pays off in the end.

Thank you, Mike, this better work, the solutions keep getting more complicated instead of easier, lol

The local high school dance team has a motto "PMA all the way"  - PMA = Positive Mental Attitude.  You certainly exemplify that as much as anyone I've ever run into.  Best of luck with everything - you deserve it.
