I am having a string of down days lately. I started taking one of those 6-day steroid packs last week to relieve swelling in the bladder from the radiation and almost immediately I started dripping again- I am right back to where I was when the cath was pulled back on March 31, 09. Very discouraging. I am starting kegels all over again.

So it goes....

    Thinks positive and be strong
    Be strong and I hope you get better soon - I knew how you feel! When we young we was working hard for living - when we are getting old we have to deal with our health issues - life never smooth as we wish! Enjoy when ever we can and do not wait until retire to enjoy life!

    Feelin' good!
    Life is much better know that the sun is actually up when I go to work, and still up when I get home. It has been a long winter, enough to get anyone in the dumps. Just think how Al Gore feels (sorry, I know that was political, but I couldn't resisit it).

    I always look at the end of winter, and the coming of Spring as a new lease on life.
