If youare getting a bladder augmentation, you will love it! It "is" a rough surgery--mine was 9 hours with 3 days in ICU on a vent so was in an induced coma. I do remember my mom talking to me once, I guess they let me be awake just long enough for that.. Next thing I knew I was in a room with more holes and tubes running out of me than I knew existed! Some were man made--like for a suprapubic and the mainline in my neck. I'm sure they have better ways of doing it now! I was in the hospital 10 days. take care, and keep us posted.

I thought I'd give you a heads up on my month next month. I'm having some major work done on my bladder. On October 18, 2004 I will be admitting into ETMC to prepare for surgery. Then on the 19th at 7:15am they will be taking me in. My doctors said I should be there 5-7 days and the recovery could take up to four weeks. I'm hoping to be able to get out of bed and do my work the following week. I'll have more information after October 5th, my next appointment to make final preparations. > > Thanks, Amye > > > > http://fly.to/littlequad > Yahoo ID - littlequad > > > >
