Hi Richard,
Thank you for thinking of me, I'm not too bad today, managing the sides now, but I don't know what I'd do without the sleeping pills the Oncologist prescribed me, when I first started chemo I didn't realise the steroids they gave me with the chemo would make it so hard to sleep and speedy, but the sleeping pill at night for the first about 4 nights after the chemo help SO MUCH!
I'm managing now to get out and walk a little.
When I told you about the dog park, I didn't mean I have no pets, I've always loved animals, I have 3 cats, they are Burmese, 1 rescue and 2 brothers. they are quite a lot of work as they are always wanting to play and fussy eaters but that's partly my fault as I spoil them rotten!and they are inside cats, but have lots to play with and climbing posts galore.
So sorry about your fur baby's passing, always so sad. Sometimes a cat can be happy in a small apartment if you can give it enough love and play, it'd be nice for you to have a companion.
I'm sorry you're having such a hard time, but glad the pain's eased.
When you see your specialist you should maybe write down questions to ask so you don't forget, like about the incontinence and why? will it last ? etc.
After my operation I had a stent in for a while ,bypassing the bladder, but after a while that was removed and I'm ok in that way now, as only part of my bladder was removed,so hopefully you will be too at some stage.
Do you have a bladder cancer nurse you can ring or text any questions to? usually there is one working with the Oncologists , my one answers pretty quickly if I text her. It can really ease your worries.
Yes it's good when the sun comes out, everything seems happier š
I'm off now to feed a neighbor's 2 chooks, we give them left over.... roast chicken!! šsounds weird but they love it, they also love being patted, very friendly girls, makes me happy being around nature.
I wish you all the best for your op and hope you recover quickly, often the waiting and scary thoughts are worse than the reality, so hope it all goes well.
Sending hugs,
Cindi x
