    Re: Going to my first follow up since surgery today

    I was going to go to the 2011 bash in Kalispell, but you may remember I wound up in the hospital for 14 days which kept me from going.   One of the most horrific experiences I ever had happened while I was in there.   The nurse accidentally tripped on my catheter tube.   That is a level of pain and shock there are no words for.

    I am glad you are on the mend!

    If multiple things can go wrong, the one that will go wrong will be the one that causes the most damage.

    Funny you should mention that. I went to the Bash in 2011 in Kalispell. On the morning of the Bash, I woke up at the motel and went to go pee. I was locked up. Could not go. I drove myself to the local hospital and they put in a catheter and got me drained. They pulled it out and I went to the Bash praying that I wouldn't have another lock up. Luckily, I was okay and went to see my urologist when I got back home. He put me on meds that helped for another five years before I finally had to have a TURP done on my prostate. Been trouble free since then. I remember the only person I told about it at the Bash was Mr. Tim (Tim Moran). It's true what they say - "getting old isn't for sissies".

    My grandad used to say "Getting old is terrible, but it beats the alternative."
