So I have a haircut appointment later today and I was trying to figure out how my hair got so out of control
Well the way I figured was I've spent 20 days of the last 30, in the hospital
First it was my heart, it's still working but at about 25% capacity
Then I had clots in my bladder that turned out to be bladder cancer, and my heart stopped during surgery.
Then I had diverticulitis, which is a nasty bowel infection and which I got from eating fried okra, I love fried okra, but after this I'm not going to eat it any longer
I was supposed to have surgery on the bladder, but when I went in for the pre-op, the Dr. could tell I was as weak as a kitten
So my new pre-op is tomorrow, with the planned surgery on the 15th
I'm as ready as I will ever be so we will do it as scheduled
My heart Dr, my bladder Dr, and myself, give me a very small chance of survival, but the alternative would be the cancer spreading with the kidneys next in line And soon, so I am going to do it
If I'm not on here after you will know why, and with that in mind I just want to say it has been a pleasure being a part of this all these years, I didn't get to meet many of you, but got to know all of you
If things work out, I'll be back on here
My cousin who is like a brother to me just had lung cancer and prostrate surgery and he says I will do it, so we will see

Oh my stars woodyzI will pray for you each day. So very sorry life has been so rough. I have enjoyed your posts, your stubborness (in a good way) and the wide range of subject you introduced to me. Thank you for your online friendship. Praying it will continue. I will let CCMama know on Facebook.

Oh dang. Just saw this. Hopefully you're still above ground and haven't made that permanent PCS yet.

I hope all goes well on the 15th! You sure have had a rough patch, actually many over the years so I hope you also make it through this one.
Prayers for the best possible outcome!!

I just sent a text message to the last phone number I had for him. It didn’t go through. So many prayers needed.

Yikes. crashdive123 and thywar, could you check his real name and see if he made it. In another forum an amazing NZ woman by the screen name of "TankGirl" took us along on her journey from hell to get proper care and aid during covid for a severe cancer. She didn't get the care needed and eventually died. But we all talked EVERY Day except when she was admitted to the hospital/clinics. Be glad you do not live in AU or NZ. They prioritize care. But who knows who sets the parameters and hoops to jump through. crashdive123You all would have loved her. Years of talking and then, a really long silence (not like when she was admitted). The guy who runs the board knew her name and found out she had finally succumbed to this constantly painful cancer. He linked the obit as she wanted that.

You do get attached to people you know online even if you never get to meet them in real life. The local forum I'm on has a lot of paid upgraded memberships so the Admin can get peoples real names if needed.
