Yes, it’s all just a procedure to follow day by day. The steps will work out one way or another. My turn today with the Nephrostomy tube change.

Got home from the hospital at around 6.30 p.m. I felt OK until the time came to empty the bladder by opening the flip-flo catheter valve. That’s when the groan-worthy burning Urethra pain set in. It lasted until 11.30 p.m. Better now but still a bit sore. The Nephrostomy tube change went OK. A little painful today and the tube is coming out of the dressing in a slightly different place or angle. I will take all the Nephrostomy supplies with us to see if it can be sorted when we go to see Mrs mart this afternoon.

Had to spend a lot of the time yesterday laying down. Total lack of energy. Off my food as well. I’m making the effort today because one of our sons is coming here. Then we head over to Farnham hospital to pick up Mrs mart and take her to Heatherwood Hospital (Ascot) for a scan. Then back to Farnham before heading for home.
Our other son who has been staying here has to fly home today. I’ll miss his him, He’s done a sterling job of helping out …but our daughter is coming back on Wednesday. This coincides with the day that Mrs mart should be coming home.

That’s good that your daughter is coming back but a pity you have to go to Heatherwood today if you’re feeling so poorly.
I hope you feel a little better as the day goes on and that you managed to eat some breakfast. It’s always good to force down some porridge at least when you feel like this. Sometimes you don’t feel like eating but once you start the appetite kicks in.
Great news that Mrs Mart comes home soon. I hope her voice is a little better.

@mart, it’s good to hear that Mrs. Mart will be home soon and that your daughter will be there; I’m sure it’s really taken the pressure off to have your kids around. I hope you can get your strength back with a little more nutrition and good rest.
