Did the Tumors Grow Recently?
Did it Take 50+ Years of Smoking?
Would I Have Had another 5-10 years of Life without the Surgery?

PECKER PAIN


© - Tom Hyland - 5/18/14


Sounds like a Humorous title, Right?
But, my latest Health problem is Anything BUT Funny!

BLADDER CANCER SURGERY ...
May 7th, 2014 . 11:15 am.

Two tumors removed ...
Larger the size of a 1" Cube ...
Smaller - depth of 2nd layer ...
Third layer is Muscle of Bladder ...
NOT GOOD !

Although Knocked Out with Anesthesia ...
And No Memory of Procedure ... Thank God!
Something went terribly WRONG!

My Legs were Supposed to be Paralyzed ...
They WEREN'T !
A Leg Jerk - Cutting Tool Moved ...
PERFORATED BLADDER!

Yeah, a HOLE !
Because this happened, the Chemo Med ...
Which was Supposed to SEAL the Sites ...
Could NOT be Administered!

RESULTS ?
Catheter and Foley Bag Must Stay in Longer!
3-5 Days became 13 Days!
NOW I Need a Cystogram Test Done on 5/19 ...
Before Catheter can be Removed on 5/20 !

As of Today - 11 days of Burning PAIN !
Discomfort of Catheter - 24/7 !
Except for Sleeping!
1st Night, May 7th, Up to Empty Bag, Every 1.5 Hours!
WHY?

Chesapeake Urology & Dr. William Dowling ...
FORGOT to give me a Larger OVERNITE BAG !!!
Niece, Bernie, a Retired RN, told me to call Them Thursday Morning!
When advised, CU Employee said:
"Oh No ... It Is Standard Procedure!"
Bernie went and picked it Up!
SLEPT THROUGH 6 HOURS THURSDAY!

DUH ???

Burning of Urination, which is Uncontrollable, and Incessant ...
Has caused me Extreme STRESS for 11 continuous days Now ...
ONLY 3 More Days to Go!

Oxycodone HCL 5mg. every 4-6 hours - No Relief!
Acetaminophen - 1,000 mgs. Every 6 Hours - No Relief!

Other "Side Effects" ?
Oxycodone causes Constipation ...
So 1 Senna Tablet Every Night at Bedtime to Soften ...

1 Ciprofloxacin HCL 500 mg. Antibiotic Daily ...
Can cause Diarrhea and necessitates Taking a Probiotic
To Replace Destroyed Good Flora.

Uribel - Blue Capsule - Supposed to Reduce Inflammation ...
Turns Urine BLUE !
OH ... Did I mention Bladder Spasms?
Was told by Dr. D 5 Days Later, on Monday 5/12 ...
To Be Expected!

After 5 Days of Butt Discomfort when Sitting ...
I DEDUCED MYSELF THAT ...
My Enlarged Prostate had a Catheter in the Urethra ...
Making it SQUEEZE Tighter while Sitting ...

This Obviously RESTRICTS FLOW !!!
Bought a Hemorrhoid "Donut Ring" Yesterday ...
Helps Slightly ! Very Slightly !!!

4 days ago, on Wednesday, another New Experience ...
Bloating in the Upper GI Tract ...
And Tremendous GAS in the Lower Bowels ...
It was Bad!

My First Day Back at Work ...
3 days Lost Work Cost me about $200.
Bought some Gas X - Over the Counter ...
It Helped a Tad!

ONSET:

Here we need a "Flashback" ...

Way Back on Monday, February 24th, it all Started ...
Blood Clots in the Urine!
Over a 10 Hour Period, about 10 Clots ...
SCARED THE LIVING HELL OUT OF ME !

Saw my GP Tuesday am, Urine Sample ...
Sent for Ultra-Sound, same Day ...
Something ? in Bladder ...
Referred to Urologist, Need Cystoscopy!

Could not get an appointment for Consultation ...
For ONE MONTH !
March 24th, CT Scan Urogram scheduled 3/25 am.
Definite Mass !
Cystoscopy Done March 28th ...
SCARY AS HELL !

Waited on table for 40 minutes - Doc had an 'Emergency' ...
Little Dab of Lidocaine on the 'Head' and ...
WHOOSH !
He Shoves a Cystoscope straight up into 'Johnny' !
Then doc, Nurse, and I watch Probe on Puter Screen ...
Looked like a Sea Anemone ...
Tubes vertically together, looking Hollow at tops ...

BING! BAM! THANK YOU MAAM!
Over in about 4-5 Minutes ...
2 Tumors Confirmed -
MUST COME OUT!
No Alternatives ...

Bladder Surgery Scheduled for May 7th . 11:15 am.

Reprimand ... STOP SMOKING!
Doc said Most Bladder Cancers are in Smokers!
I said:
"At 73, have Never Seen a Poster in Any Doctor's Office!"
Discomfort for a Couple Days ...

BACK TO THE FUTURE !

There will be Follow-Ups, Et Cetera, to Watch ...
But No Details Given as Yet.

SUMMARY:

Thus Far, Co-Pays Have Cost me over $500.00.
In Fact, the Largest Co-Pay of $300 +
Had to be PRE-Paid or CU Would CANCEL Surgery !!!

If That Isn't "Rubbing Salt In The Wound"
I Don't Know What Is !!!

OH, Yeah, were there any other 'Problems'?
Their little orange Ipad for Patient Data Entry ...
Doesn't properly update with their Website ...
Which is really 'Screwed Up' ...
Messages left on Wrong Phone Number ...
Email messages - Can't Retrieve Easily ...

I AM NOT A "HAPPY CAMPER" !!!
(C) - TKH.


POSTSCRIPTS:

1. Have Now had Severe Diarrhea for 3 Days!

2. This has Caused Burning Hemorrhoids ...
Never had a Problem with them for 73 Years!
Today will Buy PREPARATION H ...

3. How do you assign a Value on ...
PAIN - SUFFERING - STRESS ???
LACK OF SLEEP - WORRYING - LOST WAGES ???

4. Do I have a Viable Case for SUING?
If So ... Who do I Sue?

Had Whipple procedure on an unseasonably cool day in July. Although surgery was extensive hospital stay was only supposed to be 5 to 7 days, now turned into 16 days. Because of biliary tube placement beginning in March not the pain lots of pain pills going on for months now.

No pecker pain, but lots of other kind in other places.

Wife wondering if pecker will ever come alive again. God damned the pusher man. Thank you Tom for sharing your pain, I'm right there with you brother.

Wow! Remind me to never come down with your issues. I have plenty of my own but with far less pain and discomfort. Guess I'll stop complaining.

Oh, the complications that can accompany surgery! I hope and pray that your suffering will soon be alleviated.

Love ya!

Thanks for the gory details… And welcome to my world, only I don't have cancer, have avoided indwelling catheters except during annual bladder flow checks, and have never smoked. (Why I don't have and probably won't get, cancer).

That slip of the scalpel is a real bummer. At least I'm glad that your bladder can heal and that the tumors were removed successfully. I didn't hear you say anything about chemo or chance of the cancer migrating, so that is good news. No pain, no gain.

I couldn't help thinking about my brother-in-law, who just retired at 70. Had his prostate removed last year from cancer and is doing well. About 10 years ago he had a blockage that took over a week to diagnose and put him through hell with pain. Finally they operated, and found a tumor the size of a fist (4 inches in diameter) blocking his intestine. They removed 8 inches of his intestine. His doctor told him that he had never seen a tumor that large that wasn't cancerous. He fully recovered from that.

Looks like everything is downhill from now on, and except for your enlarged prostate, your urinary problems, unlike mine, will be gradually reduced until you're back to normal.

On ciprofloxacin right now for another urinary tract infection, my fourth over the last year.

Also 2 packages of Toviaz - Supposed to Treat Overactive Bladder ... Took ONE pill - within 1 hour had Severe Dry Mouth Reaction ... THEN READ THE POSSIBLE "SIDE EFFECTS" ... Just like all the TV Commercials ... FA-GET-ABOUT-IT !!!
The Rest went IN THE TRASH !!! I'll Keep my Symptoms !!!
