S'been a long week....
Friends and Family,
It has been a week since my last posting, good news is there is no medical reason for my lack of responsibility in keeping this updated. It has been a busy week with "stuff".
On the medical front, I think I am doing OK. It is not perfect but good for the most part. I am still experiencing severe urgency and am cathing myself atleast once every day and at most three times. While it is not something I want to have to live with forever, it is something I could learn to live with forever. I see the doc again next Monday and I suspect we will set up some time to go in and remove the material that is obstructing my bladder neck and urethra. When I do the self-cath, even I can feel the obstruction and a little "push" is needed to get past it. I feel blessed that I can do this and allow for some relief when it gets tough.
I missed this month's Support Group meeting as we are having services at church this week. I hate that I missed but I will get there next month. I guess there is no new news. Life is pretty good and it seems like my daily routine now involves things I never thought would be a part of my life. I wake each day, knowing I am cancer free and THAT is a blessing I can't begin to measure.
Thank You for your continued prayers and support. Please continue. I have heard stories this week of other men who are suffering or have been recently diagnosed with prostate cancer, men that I know. Prayer is the most powerful medicine we have, knowledge is the most powerful tool we could ever use. Pray for God to help us to take care of ourselves and each other.
I Love You ALL .... Thank You Lord for Your Blessings on Me
