Hopefully the SPC made the wash out easier and more effective, may have missed it but is J passing any urine naturally yet.

Fingers crossed for you both.

Thanks Chris

Oh no! Poor you and poor John (although I wait with bated breath for pictures of you modelling the bra on FB) - you did it, you had that brief respite and both survived to a point, my guess is that you won't need or want to go far from him again. I hope the infection is under control soon x

Oh no - you two just don't get a break from it all! I do hope the antibiotics help quickly and that your night away has given you a bit of a boost ( and if it didn't maybe the bra will). I love the beds in Premier Inns too!

Hi DM,

So sorry John had further problems.  Hope he feels better soon.

I'm glad you were able to have a bit of a break this weekend and a couple of restful nights sleep.  I stayed in a Premier Inn at the Olympic Park when I was doing photographic duties for PCUK and found it was very comfortable too.  It was a shame I had to miss out on the breakfast due to an early start.

John's very lucky to have such a loving, caring wife to look after him. 

I hope things improve for you both soon.

What can I say Bras and Booze a lethal combination I have got myself in many a situation in the past I won't elaborate because Lyn will ruin another laptop.😂

Glad that you managed to get away DM I so understand the need to do that . I really hope that John improves quickly with the Aunty Bs this has been one rough ride this year for you.

Take care with that Bra and mind Johns eye😉

Thanks all, this infection is taking some time to recover from and having two legs bags (i.e. Both catheters running) is hard to cope with. John is still feeling ill and is losing a fair bit of weight, which worries me but he has a low push appetite.

On another front, the company insurance sent a nurse to see me today to check if I'm still unfit for work. As I don't talk much about what's happening (only to you guys and one online friend, and that's write not talk), so I spent the whole hour in floods of tears talking about the things that have happened in the last twelve months. I am making an assumption that I'm still not fit for work, frankly it's the last thing I could do.

Next hurdle is the cystoscan on the 17th to check all the connections and after that more surgery to remove the stents and another dilation on Nov 1st. After that the urethral catheter will be removed and a trial will commence to see if urine can be passed the natural way. Since it's been ten months I think this will be a challenge. Anyway, one worth trying.

Lots of love

Devonmaid

so much to deal with makes the bra challenge seem a lifetime ago I suspect?

Lots more hurdles in this race yet but you and John seem to take most of them in your stride I think you are both amazing!

If your work people cannot see the stress and strain you are under right now then they need to go to specsavers ...really?

Looking forward to wizzing you of to the pub soon

But was the nurse kind, and did you feel better afterwards (if a little dehydrated)?

I'm sure the nurse would understand your situation. Here's hoping the cystoscan and further treatments go well
