I took hubby for a procedure yesterday. He left without a catheter. He could urinate on his own when he left. He also took one strong antibiotic pill--standard practices. It made him sick at his stomach. Ever since his treatment for prostate cancer, hubby has had issues in this area. He has had many many months of being catheterized, and re catheterized. He has a lot of internal scar tissue it seems. As yesterday evening wore on, he drank all the fluids he was supposed to, but gradually became unable to urinate. We were trying to wait to drive to Wichita for "office hours" instead of the ER. At 3 a.m. he could not take it. We went to Wichita. At the ER the very capable nurse was the one on duty. She has helped him before. She was unable to. help him. By then it was 7 a.m. and they had called the urologist to come in. He also had no luck, so took Bob to surgery, so he could be anesthetized. Dr. W. says Bob is on his mind a lot because this is not making sense. He has a plan to act on next month. Bob is up from his nap, eating homemade bread and he looks good. Some pain he has been having since mid February seems to be gone. I sure hope so. I hope it just stays away. So today, besides driving for about three hours total, and sitting for six and a half hours total, and a one hour nap at home and baking bread. I have done nothing. Tomorrow will be a better day.
