All went well . urine a lovely shade of red and like pissing through razor blades but pressure now I could beat you all at pissing up the wall - surgeon started off with green laser but after 30 minutes had to change to Turps ( Heated wire loop ) as my tissue was too tough apparently. Had my dreams realised when I was offered a bed bath!!  Dave washed my bits whilst Nigel did my backside - bugger not what  I hoped for. Anyway, all looks benign but compared to what you have been through no comparison - more people seen my bits last 2 days than the last 68 years

Well done Notty, new friends also found, amazing how life works. Pissing is easy,the stopping the hard part.

Well done Notty, good news 
Modesty and privacy all head out the window when you just can't do it yourself.
Yes the pretty young nurses just flit along asking you those intimate questions like..... have your bowels moved today ?

Still in hospital with my leg infection  but seem to be making good progress. Been in long with the infection than for the surgery. At least I'm in the right place.

Wow, i can't believe how many have serious health issues being sorted. Seth's eye operations didn't even get a mention! Sadly we're all getting on a bit.

Fortunately i'm fit and relatively healthy (minus the fit).

I've only just caught up with this thread. Good luck to everyone, hope you all fully recover.

Youll be right Col👍

[KiwiCol]

Any idea of how much longer you'll be incarcerated Col?

my eyes are getting the replacement lenses on 26th March.
Hopefully all will go well.

It's much scarier when as we're all older more serious stuff is happening to us .
Hopefully all recover well and get back to the bikes ASAP.

Father always said to me "avoid hospitals at all cost - to many people die there"
Get out as fast as you can Col!

[KiwiCol]

Agreed Stan!

I'm trying to get gone. Been a bit arduous back in hospital. I could not fight my infection without the specialist care I'm receiving. My forty years as a type 1 diabetic leaves me vulnerable to infection. Doctor's turned up now so going to post this.
Thanks again for your best wishes.

[grog]

Get well Col, bit of paw paw ointment on infection, maybe Docs have better. Cant wait for some more Kiwi ride reviews 👍👍

Still in hospital but as I've said, it's the best place for me at present.
The care is first class, the food lacks any class. So I'm slimming !!
Don't want to bore you with my medical issues but here's a little story you type 1 diabetics will understand.
I normally take my long acting insulin about 9 pm each evening. I was really tired and thought I'll do my insulin now..... well I gave myself 30 units of fast acting insulin. I was drowsy and used the wrong insulin pen. Normal blood sugars are between 4-10 m/ml. The amount of insulin I gave myself was enough to reduce my blood sugar by 60 m/ml. Thus started a very stressful 4 hours. Anyway I came right but it was quite a scare. Have been the talk of the ward since then. Lesson learned.
