Allo guys! I used to be a regular on these `ere bords, but felt extra tired and coping with the recent changes and difficulties of posting, made me want a break from the forum.
Having said that, I have been popping in to see how everyone is. I am still having printing problems!
I`ve just had a 10 day nightmare…with my spc by-passing 15 times, including wetting my bed 4 times! I called district nurses last weekend and was advised to enquire about botox.
I spoke to my GP about it on Monday. She has written to my uro…how long will that take I wonder?
Yesterday I was in the cinema, with my carers and I wet myself again!
I came home and called a nurse out…she changed my catheter and found it very blocked with gunge. It had been in situe just 3weeks!
Hello there Polly, you have been going through a bad time of it. These catheters are a pain literally, I’m going through an infection at the moment and do feel for you Polly.
Good you are back on the board but we haven’t got passed the forum site problems; so I wouldn’t blame you for giving it a rest for a while.
Oh Poll, I have missed your posts but understand the need for a break. I got frustrated with the change over mainly as I really needed everyone’s advice and support whilst it was offline. I have had a UTI since the end of July. I am hoping I am going in the right direction at the moment as starting to feel more human. I have a Uro appointment at end of October will be my first. I hope you don’t have to wait too long it is not pleasant and really affects your life. Take care of yourself and big hugs Barney
Shazzie & I were just saying recently that we have all missed you sweetie - but I can understand that you need your space. Just don’t be a stranger.
Good luck with the Botox hun - if it were me, I’d ask them for a wee bit extra for the other end as well, smooth out all my wrinkles - and fingers crossed you get the plumbing sorted in the meantime. I know you still like to get out when you can and it must be frustrating.
Sorry you are having such problems, I hope they get it sorted sooner rather than later. So if you get the botox will you then not need the catheter? Sorry if that is a stupid question but I don’t know anything about botox other than people getting in their faces to iron out wrinkles or their arm pits and feet to stop sweating. Who knew it had so many uses.
