Goodbye, Catheter

Last night was my first night in months without the catheter. Difficult!

I had to get out of bed and march to the bathroom five times last night, to pee. I’m paying for that now, with a ton of fatigue. But the nurse had told me what to expect, and assured me that it would get better as time went on.

Everybody’s telling me to rest, which I have every inclination to do. I have to recover so they can operate on the colon cancer. I never thought I’d ever be this much of a mess.

So… let’s see what I can find on YouTube.

Progress! (I Hope!)

I’m home again–and calloo, callay, O frabjous day, I’ve been set free from the catheter. The doctor wants me to come back this afternoon so he can check on how it’s going. So far, so good.

So I’ve had my cigar, now it’s lunch-time, and then it’s back to the doctor. God forbid they have to put the catheter back in! Just taking it out was exceedingly painful. Going back in would be worse. But I’ve already had one normal pee episode, so I think I’m free to hope for the best.

And hum baby, I’m tired!
