Hi Mike, so glad to see you back and writing on here again. Sorry for the delay in posting, I was away for the weekend and was shattered last night so didn't have the energy to read posts properly.
I hope you can get something for the pain and that you heal quickly.
I too can understand you feeling lonely and Lizzie brought a tear to my eye too, like Fishy I couldn't imagine life without my husband. We have been together almost 24 years, since we were 17 and he was my first true love, even being away from him one night on Saturday I felt lonely and I was with all my friends, a life without him would be unbearable Anyway, enough of that before I cry (again!). Also, as Fishy said, you have a reason to be here for your family and friends, both 'real' and 'virtual' so please stay strong.
Huge hugs and keep well on that road to recovery x
PS A person's religion makes no difference to me either, inside we are all human whatever colour, faith, sexual orientation etc you are. I must apologise though because I think a few weeks ago I may have made reference to people knocking on my door (which I don't like).....oops, sorry
Mike, there is a cream, an anaesthetic cream, and I am wracking my brains trying to think of the name. I will post as soon as it comes back to me - you must ask your doctor for it. Do you know when you next have to go to hospital for a check up? Maybe you could ask for it then? A|so, the blood in the urine is a common occurence but it looks so bad. It will come and go, and you just have to tell your doctor if it happens for more than a couple of days, but at the moment it is pretty much to be expected because of the operation.
Last Wednesday we heard that my cousin has been widowed - suddenly out of the blue. She and her husband were in their early sixties, and enjoying life together, and it certainly made me think about how hard it must be to lose one's life partner - just the silence of the days passing. The only answer is to fill them up, but sometimes when we get older we lose our confidence in who we are. On here Mike you are someone important, never forget that xxx
Oh Mike, it must be awful for you. I will say a little prayer for you but if I'm honest he doesn't really pay a lot of attention to me!! But if we all do the same I'm sure he'll listen eventually I can send more ((hugs)) though.
My son had his Physics exam today too, he seems to think it went quite well so fingers crossed, it will feel like an eternity waiting until 21st August!!
I remember all this with Dad. Sadly in his case, the catheter was a permanent fixture, but not because of the bladder cancer - due to another technical problem with his pipework, and he hated it with a passion. So I can understand your being anxious to be rid of it, and the frustration of not knowing when they are going to do it, and where. The NHS seems to be increasingly hard to contact these days. One arm of it always throwing you to another arm, all of them overworked and understaffed. We've done the thorny topic of religion so far on this thread, so I'm going to throw in some politics - I smell a Tory government, I'm sorry but I do. Everything seems to be falling apart - and the health service in particular. They want us all to start paying for healthcare, and to hell with all those who can't afford it. And the rich are getting richer. Well yippee for them.
OL, we need quotas. If only 5% of people in this country go to private and public schools, only 5% of politicians should be allowed to come from them. We need 50/50 men and women, proportional representation of the main races/cultures in this country. And if anyone thinks quotas prevent the 'most talented people' from getting the jobs, that is just a smokescreen. Just imagine all the 'talented people' from the world of acting, writing, music, the arts, television etc. drowned on a boat, it would take about five minutes to replace them with equally talented people who haven't had a look in yet, and the same is true for politicians. Right, I shall leave it at that, cos I'm getting far too worked up for a Monday evening, and I wouldn't like to upset a dinner party. xx

Hi Mike, how are you feeling today? X
Hi Mike, hope the pain is a little less today. Rest and be pampered. xx
