Bill and I went to his doctor today for a post op and catheter removal. The removal was much easier than anticipated and a great relief. Bill is talking about going out to dinner tonight! My cooking is boring us both! Bill is scheduled for a second similar surgery on December 29. (He will do anything to avoid dancing on New Year's Eve!) The stent in the kidney ureter placed during last surgery has to be removed and Dr. Ferguson will go over the bladder again to scrape out anything he missed the first time. He said it was quite cloudy toward the end last time and he couldn't see very well. Again we will wait for a pathology report. This is outpatient surgery via the urethra, no incision. At least we know what to expect and it seems much less intimidating, although we are not looking forward to it. We just hope he has recovered enough to go to Willie Nelson's concert in Davis at the Mondavi Center on Jan. 11! We have good seats!
