Hi,

I a so sorry for not answering sooner, but I totally forgot about this site and then went for surgery May 6. I was in the hospital for one week and off of work 3 months. I have been back to work now since Aug 4 and happy and thankfull to say,,,, doing great. The new-bladder is fantastic, it was a tough 3 months after the surgery, but that is expected.

I have the "new" bladder trained that I rarely have any leakage and even forget I have one and it has been only 5 months.

I feel great, going for blood work and a cat scan Dec 2 and praying all will be fine.

Again thank you.

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
