Well guys (and gals) today is surgery day. I want to thank everyone for your prayers over the past couple weeks, please continue to keep me in your thoughts and prayers today. Hopefully it'll be a simple procedure and i will be back home tonight, or tomorrow sometime at the latest.

I'll keep everyone posted how it went.

Hey all, rather than start a new thread, I'll post in this one. Surgery went well, the Dr. is pretty happy with the way it turned out. I go back Friday to get the cath out and then hopefully get on the road to a full recovery.

I was pretty much "high as a kite" for a few minutes (they did a spinal and I THOUGHT I was going to be awake for the thing, but somewhere along the way I started sleeping like a baby and didn't wake up till I was in the recovery room. Last thing I remember was the anesthesiologist asking me what kind of music I wanted to listen to (he chose Godsmack for some reason) and then I was out !!! No recollection of anything LOL.. They definitely have some good stuff in there!

They were all super cool people, but nevertheless I'm glad it's over :jump:


Thank you everyone for your prayers and good thoughts, I'm proud to be a member of such a great place as the 'Outhouse.

Thanks all! Tom, I still have to pass the "Pee test" on Friday to make sure I can still go on my own, but I do hope and pray everything still turns out ok !

Darrell, if you have a catheter in, I HIGHLY recomend lying down when they remove it. I had it done standing up even though they told me to lay down. I thought standing would feel better.
:isadizzy:
Good luck...it's over in a couple seconds.

I dread having that thing removed. It looks like it's about the size of a small garden hose :icon_lol:
