Thanks again everyone for all your support... One quick question about neo bladders. Say me and my wife go out to dinner some evening and have several glasses of wine and get relaxed. Will I lose all control and have accidents? Is it worth all the embarassment? Do you have a lot of surprise unexpected accidents.
Thanks much,
George

George,

We all know the anxious feelings that go with having an r/c. Today is a good day to relax , believe us when we say its not as bad as it seems. Recovery is most important, you will be fine , home soon, and doing the walking, and the resting, gaining the strength you will need to be the 100 percent you again. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers,,Gene had his surgery Sept. 14th 2007, in January we were in Vegas,, Next step Vegas!!!!! Ginger and Gene

Hi George

Just wanted to wish you the best for your surgery, whatever choice you make will I'm sure be fine. I'm due for R/C on the 5th of August. Unfortunately, because of the extent of the disease, lymph node involvement, and a heart attack last October, I can only have the external bag. But, as you know, they are a lot of other guys and gals, who have gone through this.

Take care and again the best of luck!

regards

Snowy (Paul)

Hello George,

As you have read by the replies to your post we are all happy and proud of our diversions whatever type that may be.

Mostly a diversion is chosen depending on our own personal health and other medical problems that we may have.

I hope you manage to clear your mind playing golf today and finalize your diversion decision.

As you know all surgeries carry a risk even if we have our wisdom teeth pulled and recovery is different for everyone.

RC is a radical surgery but try to focus now on calming your mind and relaxing your body in preparation for this life saving surgery.

I wish you all the very best and look forward to your update when you have recovered enough to do so....

Sending positive thoughts...

Leigh
