Hi there,
As soon as we landed in Roxby on Saturday 8h30 I came straight to the hospital. Apart from my bowels being completely blocked I still could not urinate and it turned out I had 1,2litres of urine once they put the catheter in. Okay, so I had 2 enema's and nothing happend. Then I had 2 senekots last night, nothing happend and now they gave me yellow syrup/meds and that seems to do the trick. They have now removed the catheter and I have gas and bowel movement. So hopefully I can urinate soon and can go home tomorrow. I took morphine injections up and until now, but today is not so bad and I think I can cope with the pain now that my bladder is empty. I am only having 1 or 2 slices of toast on wholeweadbread during the day and I try to drink some water. But I think i am okay now.
The Doctor here phoned my Surgeon and the Surgeon said that the Hospital should not have dischardged me with a bladder and bowels that is not working... but all ended well and I can start recuperating at home from tomorrow.
Thanks for the update.....I have no idea what is really involved with this surgery as this is one I have not had.
I am with u on hopes to hear soon this is all behind u and all well worth it : )
Thanks, Smiles. Easy on the food, less is better after the procedure.
