Well I had my turbt last Wed. and now I am waiting for the path report . Usually I don't have any problems when I get this done but not this time . The three and a half hour ride home was tuff . If I have to get it done again I will spend the night at a hotel then come home the next day.
I had peed at the hospital but when I got home it was not happening ! So I called the resident on call and he told me to go to the local er and get a cath which I did . We were awake for 21 hours ( well I was knocked out for the turbt ) but my hubby had been awake the whole time . They didn't give me a night time cath bag so I had to empty it every 15 min for 24 hours. I weighed 138 lbs on the morning of the procedure, when I left the hospital I weighed 149 lbs from the fluids they gave me , over night I lost 9 lbs. from going every 15 minutes ! Don't forget to get the over night cath bag guys !!
The bag stayed from wed to sunday and boy was I glad to get rid of it !
The dr. biopsied several places and said about 25 percent of my bladder looked suspicious . He did not put the mitomynicin in as he had planned because he said I would have been in a lot more pain because he had done so much in my bladder . He was right the pain felt like my hysterectomy pain ,but after a few days it eased up. So now I go back to painting houses and waiting for my path report.
On the light side I have been able to watch a lot of bucks chasing does while I have been home , they are all looking for girlfriends ! lol
God bless all, Rocky
