Post Surgery Day 23

Today was an okay day. Got work done on the computers today. Just praying that the bladder heals over the next two weeks. So far no further reaction to yesterday’s iodine. Good. Trying to get the catheter back to some comfort level, the doctor wanted to have it stretched for […]

Post Surgery Day 22

Today was a big let down. Had cystogram. Still showed small tear in bladder. Went back to the doctor for followup visit. He tightened up the catheter (added water to the bulb to seal it tighter in the bladder). He promised the bladder would heal, he said we just have […]

Post Surgery Day 21

Okay day today. Showed up for scheduled cystogram. Radiologist would not do it, wanted more pre-medication. Doctor is calling in prescription for Prednisone. Rescheduled cystogram and doctor’s appointment for tomorrow. Romans 8:28

Post Surgery Day 20

Another good day today. Sinuses are causing problems, hope coughing isn’t preventing healing. Allergies just won’t quit. Minor neck ache persisting for third day now. Hives improving. Took Benadryl in preparation for cystogram tomorrow. Praying this catheter comes out tomorrow. Psalm 100:5

Post Surgery Day 19

Good day today. Hives about the same. Managed to work on the computer for 3/4 of the day today. Have some interesting new (healing?) pains. Nothing bad. Praying this catheter can come out Monday! No matter what happens God is in control Phil 4:13

Post Surgery Day 18

Post Surgery Day 17

Okay day today. Didn’t sleep well last night with all the thunderstorms. Had a bit of a neck ache today. Hope the injection I had in my neck back on April 9 isn’t wearing off already. Hives/rash are still there, spreading a little, but thinning out as well. Taking Benadryl […]

Post Surgery Day 16b

Benadryl helped with rash/hives. Also knocked me out Took another Benadryl tonight. Other than that things seem to be going along pretty good. I had allergic reaction to iodine contrast 30+ years ago, but have done fine since then (they may have given me some Benadryl with it). This was […]

Starting off not so good. My shoulder blades we’re itchy during the night. Finally had my wife take a look. Have a rash over my whole back coming around my sides and over my shoulders. Have a call into the doctor’s office. Will update this post as info becomes available. […]
