I think we have all been holding our breath - I am relieved for you that it is now over. Major surgery - he is in hospital for longer than he would have been for RP!!!!

Try to get some rest DV xxx

Pleased to hear it all went relatively well and hope he quickly recovers. I would say have a rest while J is in hospital but I think the visitor gets the rough end of the deal.

Just started back on the ISD again and found one part of the urethra uncomfortable to pass the catheter, but tried a catheter called a Q tip or IQ and it goes in like a dream.

Hope all starts to improve from here.

Thanks Chris.

My friend now breathe and try to get a little bit of you time whilst John is in such good hands.

I have everything crossed that all of this makes a massive improvement in J's quality of life indeed for all of you.

I hope to see you again soon but please do give John a gentle hug from me and your self a great big one.

All the very best

Allison, this is such encouraging news at last.http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif

It sounds like John's care has been excellent.

I hope you can both breathe more easily now and able to relax and recharge those batteries.

And isn't this good news arriving just in time for your 'notable birthday' coming up soon?http://community.prostatecanceruk.org/editors/tiny_mce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-smile.gif

Very best wishes to you both,

I wasn't expecting much today but John does look awful, he passed out when they tried to get him out of bed. It seems his blood pressure is low for some reason. Chatting to the urologist emphasised how lucky we've been. John's bloods have consistently been fine for creatinine and yet his kidneys were about to give out and since the RT, he has had no pain there. He is a conundrum.

Yes Lyn, a significant birthday is coming up on the 13th, Dakota will be two and her Nanny will be 60. Don't say it too loud though, I don't want to frighten the horses. I suspect that John will be home but celebrations will be mute but some things are more important. It's only a day really and I'm lucky to be able to share it with my love.

Fingers crossed he'll be a little better tomorrow. Thank you for all your lovely support.

Lots of love

Devonmaid xx

It will take a few days. This was a major op and building up his strength will take time. He will get there and then you can celebrate together!

Well I must admit I am amazed at my dear hubby, he looked a different man today, free of drains and drips, just the two catheters left (it will be a while before they are removed as the kidney stents will be removed via the urinary catheter so it must stay in place until then and the SPC will remain as insurance for the time being. His bloods are good and on this performance will be home in time for our daughter's birthday on Sunday, let alone mine and Dakota's on Tuesday. He really is a walking wonder. Anyway, let's see what the weekend brings. Feeling very happy today. I have been saying to John for some time that his kidney issues could be why he feels so drained all the time, I feel I might have been right.

There are challenges ahead but we do not have to worry about kidney failure any more. Life is looking good right this minute xxx

Pleased to hear things are improving it has been a long slog and happy birthday for next week.

Perhaps the programmers at PCUK might fix your page not found as a birthday present.

Thanks Chris
