Thanks for the heads up! We're going in (I say "we" advisedly, since it's my husband actually having the surgery). I'll be watching like a hawk.

I'll get it right this time!
March diagnosis.
Early April TURB.
April 25 RC.
Might as well add the rest...
@May 10th, staph abcess in bottom 3 vertibrea of spinal column, probably as a result of a dirty epidural done twice, once pre-op and once post op (because the pre-op didn't work).
@June 15th, bloodstream contamination probably caused by the superpubic catheter removal.
All in all the surgery has been the easy part, the subsequent infections have been a bummer. I've been on IV antibiotics for over a month and have 3-4 weeks to go.

Did you mean diagnosis in March? May diagnosis to April TURB seems awfully long.

The problem seems to be with the new software running the forum.

The poll was created on the old forum software, and the legacy polls and some other details are not 100% compatible with the new software.

An example is the pictures under names being distorted. The old software allowed vertical photos, while the new software seems to compress every vertical photo into a square. Hence the distortion. And hence my new photo. The solution is to crop your photo into a square.
