Sylvia,
Glad to hear that all was well. after your OH's op.......

mine was nowhere near as serious as that......although I HAD been suffering.......and not realising it!

I think OH's rebore was slightly different from yours.

He had had a benign swelling of the prostate for many years.

Then he had 18" of his colon removed (cancer). Everything went fine, and he was released from the hospital after 5 days.


Then we had to take him back to Emergency after about 3 days ..... it turned out that the prostate had not liked, indeed had objected to the catheter , and responded by swelling enough to almost block the tubing.


Rebore, literally, was done the next morning


He has been fine ever since ...... and the waterworks have never been faster


(and no further treatment needed for the cancer, they got it all!).



Hope all is going well for McB, and for his daughter.

Thanks for that Sylvia,
I was a bit apprehensive beforehand, to say the least, but now I realise that " Its all in the Mind"!!
My ward " Partner" is recovering nicely also..there were 4 of us in for the same jobby.

I really feel for Brian.....

(didnt wanna keep nudging the thread ) in case someone thought I was " Milking it" !

Bob



only just seen this thread, otherwise I would ahve said that OH had a rebore just over 4 years ago, and is fine!


I'm gald to see that you are recovering well


Do hope that McB gets sorted out .... those superbugs are no fun



Take care you 2, and look after yourselves.



sylvia

I must've struck lucky, am healing well and all that remains is to get used to the new waterworks.........

sorry to hear that Brian is still unwell,
and of course wish his daughter well also!

Bob

aw no way, hope they sort it and your feeling better soon x

sorry to hear that mcb, hope you feel better soon xx
glad your ok bob

UPDATE

Well my op has not gone so well, iv'e got an infection & after three lots of different a/biotics & penicillin doc now thinks i may have caught one of these hosi superbugs,

More tests, feel c**p

Allo Bob,

Well i had quit a painfull / uncomfortable night & most of today, it has eased a bit know so perhaps i too lost my scab, i've spent the afternoon back in hosi with my daughter who was rushed in lunchtime in agony with pain in her side & back, they've done a load of tests & filled her with morphine, can't find anything obvious, so she's home now fast asleep.

Morning,all

Another pain/discomfort free night.......

on the mend? I hope so!! LOL

Bob

last night was my first real pain free night, and today was good, also,since the op......at last I am 'going' when I want to go, rather that when the pain says.....".....go........"
lets hope that its the road to success for the op!
Bob

A week on.........
realising that the internal wound would heal and scab, its now the time for the scab to dissolve and pass......its been quite painful at times...and all this time have not been able to trust myself going out.....or being more than a couple of minutes away from a toilet.
poor Mcb it appears has picked up an infection for which antibiotics have been prescribed, but finding the correct antibiotic is still a problem....
quite a traumatic time for us both,.....

watch this space.....

Bob

I'm back,

Unlike Bob i had the full anesthetic, no bother, woke up after the op ( one hour ) & was with it straight away & no drowsyness, although i like bob had the re bore they found i had a cyst in the bottom of my bladder acting like a valve closing the pipe when i wanted to !!!!!.
Don't like those ****** catheters though.

hope you an Mcb, have a speedy recovery bob, xxxx

Mornin all, as you may realise I am still a bit tender(to say the least) but the power of suggestion is something isnt it?
I only have to hear a kettle boiling or a tap running.............an I gotta Go!!!

LOL

Bob
