The Thing is back

I am not at all pleased to tell you that the Thing is back. The "Thing". The other c-word. Not the cancer - relax and thank Goodness. The Thing; the CATHETER !! AARGH!

I had been doing extremely well with the incontinence story. Too well as it happens. Over the last few days I had been experiencing increasing difficulty voiding - that means peeing for you non-medical types. This came to a head, you could say, yesterday and I went off to the emergency room. I will spare you the details, but the short of it was that the hospital called in the surgeon and I have come back home condemned to wearing the Thing for thirty-six hours. After that we'll just have to see how it goes.
