Good morning Bladder Blog and friends ,
Sun is still shining , but it's a bit misty and cold
Woke 07:30 am *yawn* mind spinning with things to do and check. No rest before I do. Of only it was possible to dial a number and get the person concerned . Instead , recorded voice directs via pressing different numbers. Takes a while to talk to real person .
Keeping up with appointments , dates , times and 'to do list ' is tricky. A lot to keep track of.
Medical staff can contact me on the phone , out of the blue , when I don't have my diary or pen and paper at hand . I've even started taking my mobile phone in to the loo.
Two hospitals are involved : Karolinska ( KS ) and Södersjukhuset ( SÖS ) and a third one , Huddinge was mentioned a few weeks ago by Oncologist , Mi ( sp ? ) on the phone . M . said they needed to check kidney function before the chemo treatment , This would be at Huddinge hospital 9/9 and that I would be sent a note, but no note has arrived. So today ,
I managed to get hold of M. Oncology , just now who is going to check . YAY :-)
Two appointments await this week.
Cystoscopy at KS , 09:00 on Thursday
Huddinge , 9/9 ? to check kidney function
Bloods at Lab, local clinic , for Cystoscopy TurB at SÖS 15/9 called a " second look " operation, involves spinal anaesthetic ( OUCH last time 18/7 ) and overnight stay at SÖS.
21 minute meditation with Panache Desai , 07:45 , helped me get calm and centred . 21 minutes flew by . Peace.
I dedicate this blog to my bladder story and journey. " A tale told by an idiot , full of sound and fury , signifying nothing. " Bladder cancer is a challenge . Problems shared are problems halved. It is my sincere hope that my sharing here will be therapeutic and inspiring , for me and also for you. Namasté ! Pssst ... to leave a comment , please click on ' no comment '.
