Marty, God's speed to getting back to your old self, may it be quick. We all miss you. greenie In a message dated 4/22/2015 12:16:32 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, joy...@htc.net writes:
Oh, Marty I was so happy to hear you are slowly gaining strength. But then you had to bring up the prostate thing. Did your prostate decide you had not had enough of hospitals and operations? But after what you have been through, this prostate thing should be a breeze. My husband had his prostate removed because of cancer 18 years ago. I know what you mean by wanting to get rid of the catheter. I think he only had one for 3 weeks. You know we all will be praying for you as we have been. God bless and keep you.

It is working little by little but always moving forward, On May 7th i will have another operation on my prostate to make it be able to pass urine. I have had a urine catheter in me for more then seven weeks because of my enlarged prostate. That seems to be the worst thing that someone can go through and i can't wait until it comes out and the operation to my prostate is over with. 18's Marty On Tue, Apr 21, 2015 at 5:19 PM, bkbarney via CMLHope <_cmlhope@googlegroups.com_ (mailto:cmlhope@googlegroups.com) > wrote: Marty, It's soooooo good to hear from you...and know how you are doing...sounds like you are making slow and steady progress....walking outside.....building up your stamina...sounds like a BIG operation...and you came through well!!!!

You are all such nice people. This is a family, and we have grown even closer as we get to know one and other. I continue to get a little better as the days go by. Mostly weakness in the core of my midsection but that is where i was opened up. Just to let you know when a kidney is transplanted it does not go in your lower back but rather in your groin because they want good blood flow going directly to it. They actually use your abdominal aorta and a large vein. And that is why i have an incession from the right side of my abdomen to the other side of my abdomen. So it is a healing process that requires me to do a lot of physical exercises. I have been going outside with my walker and someone always watching me because if i fall then it will be very bad and set me back. Every day i try to walk just a little more then the day before and it makes me out of breath so i stop and rest for a minute or so then keep on going. The whole trick to this is to put your mind into a stage of knowing the more you walk or do any exercise the better your going to feel once your finished and take a rest. I also have a physical therapist that comes here and we do even more exercise, so it is really helping me to recover but it is a slow process 18's to everyone Marty Thanks for the update. Nothing like getting outside for a bit to Nature to help lift your spirit.
