Hi, some of you may remember me posting a while back about all my problems with UTIs. Well, after almost 3 years of constant antibiotics and pain, it looks like an end may be in sight. I have had a nuclear x-ray, where they insert a dye into my stoma and watch what is going on, where the urine is and the condition of the stoma, and hey presto, everything seems to be going well. So the possible outcome is that I have a small pocket just under my skin where the stoma comes out and urine is collecting there and getting infected. I am now on a waiting list for surgery to remove said pocket and hopefully sort out all these damn infections.
Watch this space for updates!!
Be lucky, people

This site was a true lifeline when I first became a member back in 1997. The support I received during the time of a critical time in my life.was greatly needed. I met so many wonderful people that became like family. And fell in love with a wonderful woman from the UK. Visited here and later had her come to me here in the states.

Hi Gordon, I was just thinking about our chat and thought I'd check in to see what's up. Did you have the surgery, and are things okay? Hope all is well. Hugs, Z
