Finally got caught up on everything. Only 5 days in the hospital this time. Got some kinda bad news tho; the bladder cancer is still there and into the muscle. Dr said it wasn't fast, but very aggressive. With my heart valve, surgery is very tricky. The involved drs. are considering sending me to Dallas to a Urological hospital that specializes in bladder removal for a consultation. Having to keep the blood thin because of an artificial heart mitral valve, but thick enough to clot bleeding from invasive surgery is a ticklish line. I should find out in a week or so. In the meantime, I wear diapers for accidents, and hitail it to the commode every 10 minutes to an hour . The hour comes when I'm laying down, or sitting very still. God has given me nearly 84 years, and has been very good to me, so major surgery doesn't scare me.
To top it all off, the week before, I was sitting at a left turn light, stopped, foot on brake, when we got rearended by a kid I believe was about 17. Rammed into the rear of big tired F-150. Ended up doing him no damage, but over $5600 to me. The kid had to be texting because he hadn't even attempted to slow down when he hit us. My pickup is in the shop now, and I should get it back the end of next week. A 2006 Toyota Access cab with only 14,400 miles.
I'll keep you all advised if I go to Dallas. Enough about my troubles. Too many others have even worse.
God Bless one and all
