Good afternoon. I got home from the hospital yesterday. Last night I got real sick from an antibiotic I took given me by the hospital. I have spent most of the day in bed and I feel much better right now.

While in the hospital we fought blood clot after blood clot stopping up the catheter. The Doctor told me the surgery went well, now for the healing. Dr. Flanagan told me to take the catheter out on Tuesday and showed me how to do it.

I am glad to have this behind me and now looking for better days. Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes from everyone, I really appreciate them all.

Now I an going to rest so I will close wishing everyone a blessed day. Be sure to give the fur babies a hug for me and be sure to tell someone you love them.

Ricahard glad to hear you are feeling better. Few more days with the catheter, then all that's left is healing.

We are happy you are home, Richard, but probably not as much as you!

I am curious, did you doctor say that the clotting is normal or to be expected?

Good morning Walter. Yes Dr. Flanagan was clots were normal. They were a problem the first day but not as much now. There are small clots still passing through so I have to watch an make sure the catheter doesn't get stopped up. The catheter is still running red with blood, sometime heavy. I hope in a day or two this will clear up.
