LOL! No, but she may as well have one. She gets right in my face and her long whiskers tickle me so badly I have to get up. She knows this and will start making that half-meow half-purr noise. Can't resist that!

I had minor surgery yesterday. External sphincter muscle I think or in simple words, the muscle used to hold urine till you decide to let it lose. I lost control of it it in 1989 with my sliced C7 spinal cord & I've been holding over 1000mL's everytime I cath plus I'd sweat like crazy causing minor skin breakdown on my butt, changing cloths 2x/day, disaster for past 2yrs and ws getting worse. Uro sliced it a bit which should let it flow. Have foley cath in now since it bled alot on last slice he made, I remove it tomorrow or Monday when bleeding stops. Then we'll see but every time I had a foley for more then a few hrs, I can't pass urine well so sheesh by Wed i'll know how it worked out.

I stayed awake per request, just a dose (100mg or mcg)of Fentanyl, no Michael Jackson "milk", and Uro turned monitor towards me so I could watch since I love medical stuff. Was great, he would say "this is what i showed in your anatomy book, and so on as he toured my urethra.

I feel fine, drinking 64oz per day as instructed, cranberry goes down easy mixed with Absolute. Also - as my legs are starting to spasm like crazy again, I didnt get ONE for 12 hrs after the fentanyl. I might give in and get the patch. 140mg's of baclofen isn't 1/2 as effective.

Glad to hear you're doing so well, Eddie. You might want to give the Absolute a rest since you just had surgery! Just sayin................

Like when my Doc told me to drink only clear liquids and I told him that Gin and Vodka are clear. If he meant only water, why didn't he say so?
