On my gosh. So sorry to hear the news. Please keep us posted when time permits.

We are thinking of you and Alan.

Imagine six paramedics in my bedroom looking at me. I say "he recently had a TURP procedure and they look at me completely clueless and I blurt out TRANSURETHRAL RESECTIONING OF THE PROSTATE ,AND HE HAD THE CATHETER REMOVED ON WEDNESDAY" And they said Oooohhhhh.

Now I am answering all the questions in ER.

Thank god I know his complete medical history. Keep warm thoughts

Will update.

Hi Melody - Sorry things aren't going so well for Alan - hope he improves soon.

Well done you for putting the paramedics in their place. It's an indictment of the system when we reach the point of DIY doctoring.

I enjoy reading your stories and love your sense of humor - not only do you always keep your own spirits up but you raise ours as well.

Take care and look after your own health.

I am so used to this place I could live here. Been back and forth with him since March.

Fever is down, chest xray shows pneumonia but till he pees they cant rule out urinary tract infection. So pray that he urinates. He is so tired. He sleeps and is snoring.

Will update, melody

Hi Melody,

I have been keeping track of you and Alan, even though I have not written.

I am sorry Alan is experiencing complications.

Continuing to offer Love, support and prayers.

Melody,

You must be exhausted!
You and Alan have been there for many hours now.
I hope you both get to sleep comfortably tonight!

Thinking of you both.

Hi. I came home tonight to sleep and I will go back tomorrow. I have been texting back and forth with Alan's primary care physician who is also our friend. He told me they will give him 3 or 4 antibiotics tomorrow and that he will be seen by an infectious disease specialist.

GET THIS. As I am typing this (It's 10:42 pm..), my cell rings and it's the urologist who did the Turp. He said "What's going on?" I said 'What do you mean, didn't anyone contact you?, I gave them your name and told them you did the Turp". he said This is the first I heard of it that's why I'm getting back to you"

I brought him up to speed at what I knew, "that a sample of his urine hadn't been delivered as of 9:20 pm for culturing and that an infectious disease specialist was going to check on him. He responded "I'll have my guy there tomorrow morning and make sure whatever he needs to be done is done".

Who the H is going to sleep tonight (even with a pill).

Don't know how much more the both of us can take. I mean really.

And he's septic.

Everybody keep praying.

Melody
