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!

More Doctoring (Aaaagh!)

We saw another doctor this afternoon; and I have to say the preparation for that was one of the most horrible experiences of my life. And I won’t tell you what was done when we got there. Patty saw it as a very worthwhile session. I just kept my eyes shut and prayed for it to be over.

More doctoring on Friday. Physical therapy tomorrow. As in “Gee, I want to write my book!”

I had an extra cigar this afternoon. Didn’t try to cover any nooze. Maybe tomorrow I can go back to it.

Meanwhile, I thank you all for your prayers. Our neighbor’s church gave me a lovely prayer shawl which makes a very nice pillow, and put me on their prayer list.

Next stop, I don’t know when: an MRI. I don’t expect it to hurt.
