Hello Everyone, I'm back
finally! I have been gone for 5 wks in the hospital on
bedrest, ugh!
It's great to be back home & talking
with you guys, missed you. I had a good looking plastic surgeon that did my
Flap. On my way home, I had to stop by Dr Robbins Office & he had to show
off my Butt to everyone, what a great job he did! I mooned everyone
there,haha! He gave me instructions.....take weight shifts every 20 mins while
up in chair Eat or drink lots of protein Make sure my wc
cushion has proper amount of air. I did get a nice turning air mattress
to sleep on, the only problem I can't use my mouthstick to answer telephone
or use on tv remote, which is a bummer. Guess I need a voice activated
enviromental unit. Anyone know of a real cheap one???
I'm going back & answering some old
messages..........
Larry, I take 2 Detrol too & get the
exact same effects, which is is pretty miserable. I chew a lot of gum &
have a water piture to drink out of every few minutes.
Here's an update, I finally had my
supra-pubic catheter put in, against the advice of several Drs. Well so
far I love it! I very seldom leak around the tube, nor from the vagina. I had
terrible bladder spasms before & now none.
Friends, Linda
I take ditropan 2x day also and have for about
a year. It not only dries me out but actually makes my tongue and mouth fell
scalded and kills my taste buds. Thought I would get used to it, but so far,
no luck. Detrol is useless. Larry

have been taking probantheline for over 20
years and I just can't get
off of it because I start sweating horribly. I
don't like how it dries
me out. Anyone been there? Thanks
