Was just teasing... :)

I remember you didn't have Adobe Reader before also.
If you go into Add or Remove Programs, try uninstalling Adobe Flash Player. Anything that says Flash anything, uninstall. Then reinstall it fresh.

That will often take care of the problem you mention.
If you have Windows, you can use Windows Media Player to view videos instead of flash player.

I've got a high end computer...i need to get high speed internet and get rid of dial up...thats whats slowing me down. And there's a glitch somewhere in this computer that just won't allow me to to get flash player..i've tried...its says its installed and it isn't! I've been waiting for a decent bundle of my cable plus computer and what they advertise is not what they actually give you.
i'll figure it out..........pat

Yes Pat! It is time to trade in that 1969 Radio Shack box for a real computer. Mac or PC? Doesn't matter...just get one from the past 10 years or so and all will be fine. With all you do on the computer, you really need an update!!!

You can buy online and get a refurbished desktop or laptop for sometimes less that $300. You don't need any of the high-end stuff.

P.S. You know I'm just teasing, don't ya? :D

OOOOOOOOOH..ok...DOH..i get it...conduit!
I had read about the work initially at Wake Forest where they were actually making bladders from healthy cells in babies or children with neurogenic bladders or other such problems and they would grow the tissue outside the body and transplant into the existing bladder and the new tissue would take over. I didn't dream that did i? Honestly i have research hidden in so many places i can't find it anymore!
Well there is a Phase 11 i think that will take place in the future for bladder cancer patients where cells are taken from body fat not a diseased bladder. I'm sure that will take a while to get started??
My flash isn't working so i can't view the video or any videos for that matter..i know..time to update!!

OK. So I don't have to feel bad about not saving any.

However, I'm not sure I am convinced that will remain true in the future.

Aren't you supposed to be having a honeymoon about now???

Mike,

As they had already had success with growing bladders for adolescents at the time of my Radical Cystectomy we had the conversation with Dr. Gary Steinberg about freezing some of my healthy bladder cells. His take was that due to the cellular changes that had already taken place in the bladder cells to allow the cancer to grow in the first place that they would not be viable cells to use. In other words our bladder cells would duplicate damaged cells making the new bladder more prone to cancer again.
