Ready, Set, ........DON'T GO !

Friends,

Well, today was the day, after 22 days with this catheter I was finally going to be emancipated. Went to the hospital for my second cystogram and then to the doc where I hoped to leave my little friend behind. DIDN'T HAPPEN ! Seems there is still a small area at the base of my bladder that has not healed yet. To say I am disappointed would be a gross understatement. It seems it has become more of a mental and emotional struggle now. The physical pain lessens everyday and is manageable. The struggle of dealing with my limitations with this appendage I have following me around get more and more difficult with each waking minute.

OK...done venting for awhile. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. B has had to cancel a trip to Florida and her nephew's birthday party. I said I'd be alright but she won't think of leaving now. The docs say it will heal and I will be OK but it is taking time....nothing has gone according to plan and I am beginning to think planning anything is an excercise in futility.
Good news is, the healing process is working and I am cancer free....what a blessing THAT is.
I have my friends and family who love me so much and while Im pretty sad and even a bit pissed off right now, I am so blessed and so fortunate.

My hand has given out again so I can stop whining in this message. Know I love you and appreciate you so much. Please continue to keep me and all who are sick and hurting and their families in your prayers. You are the greatest !

"Thank you Lord for Your blessings on me" Mike
