    Glad you're finally cleared

    Glad you're finally cleared for surgery.  Hope all goes well, and that you can soon be rid of the "pee bag".

    The time for surgery has come

    So after many fits and starts including getting newly diagnosed diabetes under control and ultimately a nephrostomy (which I affectionately refer to as my “pee bag”), I’m going in for a ureter reimplant tomorrow. I’m hoping this solves my plumbing problem and he doesn’t see anything suspicious while he’s in there. I can’t wait to start my clear liquids and bowel prep this afternoon (NOT!). So wish me luck and if you’re so inclined send a little prayer my way about 11:00 EST that this all goes smoothly.  Thanks for all your previous support  on this treacherous journey. Now onward and upward!

    You can do this!    Prayers

    You can do this!    Prayers for a speedy recovery.    I had the reimplantment and I felt so much better!  

    Hugs!!!!!

    Kathy

    Over one hour into it.

    Over one hour into it.  Thinking of you, Cheese, and sending outgoing prayers for a wonderful outcome.  Being highly familiar with the 'hurry up and wait' nature of surgical procedures, I hope you are at least through all the pre-op stuff and are asleep and the drs have started working their brilliance.  Thinking of you this morning, and holding you in ongoing prayers.

    How Coincidental

    I thought I would check in to see if there was any word from Cheese yet.  What I noticed was that Cheese first posted this thread a year ago today--June 5, 2018 at 12:19 p.m.  I thought that was pretty coincidental, and I'm taking this as a good sign and also hoping that was right around the time her surgery ended!  I'm getting good vibes from this coincidence and I hope we will be getting an update on how things went soon!!

    5 Hours!

    After 5 hours of surgery and a very rough night with an incompetent nurse I’m still kicking. Will update on my adventures later. The fun never ends does it?

    Thank you

    for updating us so quickly. I know I've been anxiously waiting to hear. I think where we went wrong was not covering the night shift with our thoughts and prayers. I was up till 1am and winged some good vibes your way when I turned out the light. Take care and get back to us when you can

    Fall risk

    apparently I’ve become a “fall risk” and have become tethered to my chair. I found this out when I tried to walk around the room and 3 nurses came running in. When the hell did it come to this?
