Not to worry, drag your butt down the driveway everyday a few times, do what you can but don't over due. We are 9 weeks out and Gene is back to work, fighting a heart thing right now but the strength is back to 60 percent I would say. It is very difficult , the waiting to feel better, don't get down on yourself, just do what you can and it will come. Ginger Beane

Back to the VA hospital to have some tubes removed. Started in radiology with a contrast introduced to my neo-bladder to check for leaks. There being none the surgeon removed the foley and removed all the bags (4) and blocked off the np tubes and the supra pubic. Stayed there an extra night due to high white cell count. He removed the supra on Wednesday and sent me home with two np's sticking out my back. Now comes the fun part. I get to learn how to use my neo bladder and what makes it leak at times. Still no rest, the doc has me up every two hours voiding and recording volume. Still quite weak. I am trying to be patient. Thanks to all for helping me get this far with it all.
