Hi David,

I'm so happy this operation is finally behind you! And being a Southern girl myself, that chicken and dumpling with spinach dinner sounds like my idea of comfort food. Good luck with your rehab-I'm hoping this will be a real new beginning for you.

managed a total of close to 7 hrs sleep last night, actually more than normal

woke up to a leak device, we are still learning, drain bag got snagged in the night and caused the "wafer" to pull up and leak. had it fixed in 10 minutes or less

gib - there are no longer input tubes from my kidneys to the bladder. there is no way for any fluid to enter my shriveled up bladder. so therefore, no way or reason to have a foley or SP cath put in place. w/o a cath in place, surrounded by fluid, no way a spasm could happen.

thank you too, renee, hope your guy is going well too

Hi David,
It is nice to see you typing on the site again.
I, too, had wires crossed in the "nether region". What used to be front is now back - exactly opposite. A bit like driving my motorcycles. The Honda gears are "1 down, 4 up" and the Kaw is "all 5 up". It is too easy for me to forget what I'm riding and almost launch myself over the handlebars - scares the cr*p out of me. Now I mess my pants for a different reason. ;-)

My wife and I are in Florida this week and will be taking a leisurely drive up to NY in a few days. If it is not too much of a strain, I could swing by your area and we can meet face to face.
I'll send you my cell phone number so we can at least talk. (Right now, I'm sitting in Dunkin Donuts with Wifi so I can get on the internet.) (sent email just now)

Hope you continue on your road to recovery.
Jeff

Hi David,
Sure are glad you are on the mend! Just keep taking it easy and get back on your feed.
Good to see you back on here, just not the same without you.

david - thanks for the good words, honestly doing the best i can, not going to do anything foolish, this is a much longer and more serious recovery then even my open RP of two years ago. I have to play it smart and careful, very compliant to the letter of the law with my dr., dont want any set backs after all i have been through

jeff - you should have gotten my email by now hopefully. waiting for my phone to charge
