Self catheterisation seems to have been successful as the stricture has not returned. Go / No Go for the AUS meeting with the consultant a week on Wednesday......

All systems go, now just waiting for a slot on the operating list for the AUS implant. With a bit of luck it should be before the end of the month. That should mean that activation will be before Christmas.

The stricture seems to have gone but I still have to keep the self catheterisation going for the time being. I hope practical experience is part of medical training so consultants can feel what a size 16 is like.

Hi Tony 

Sounds like good news for you, 

Hope all goes well

I have not heard a word, and I am not too bothered I think I will put up with a drippy willy and pads ,

What worried me was the fact that if I was to go into retention or the stricture returned I could not self catheter without the AUS being deactivated

Excellent news Tony, fingers crossed it all goes well.

AUS is now in, but deactivated. Activation in six to eight weeks when the swelling has gone down. I'll start a new topic with experiences for any others considering this solution.

Great news the AUS has landed awaiting activation. Could do with that when we ever play Rugby, Cricket or any other sport against them.

Maybe you should call it Bruce.

Seriously though along with others here you share your experiences so openly which helps the community so much. I thank you most sincerely for that.

I Will be watching out for your update.

My best wishes for a huge success

Xx

Mo
