Gee, nne,That sounds like a real ordeal for Chuck...and YOU too!It sounds as though he came through it all ok. I am shocked to read they want you to take a cath out. Alwaysthought a nurse or doc. had to do that procedure. Is he still on paid meds, nne? I know my son is stillon percocet, and it can really 'block you up'. So, it is goodto get on miralax or some such product. Just my 2 cents.Your family is really there for you, which is awesome!Thanks for posting about Chuck; I'd been wondering howhe made out.blessings and hugs to Chuck (and you), Kate Chuck's surgery/off topicTo: MSersLife > We got to the hospital and got signed in.

It was rough the first day but he is doing much better. Chuck was having problems passing urine so they cathed him. The Dr. wants me to get him up at 5 and take it out to be sure he is able to pass urine on his own before we get there. If not he will have to have another one put in. Its really not complicated.

Chuck's surgery/off topic

To: MSersLife

Date: Tuesday, July 7, 2009, 11:30 PM

We got to the hospital and got signed in. They came for Chuck just

about on time. Timmy and I went to the surgical waiting area. They said

about 2 hrs. They buzzed the pager they gave us about 20 min earlier

than expected. They took us to a private area and Dr. Strom came in. He

said Chuck did real good and that Chuck would be pleased to know that

he had the kind of hernia that most young men have. He removed the two

hernias and used the mesh on the belly button one.

He was brought down from recovery and kept saying he was in pain and

had to urinate. It was about every 3-5 min. but would only pass a few

drops. He received Demerol every half hour for awhile. Then he went on

morphine once an hour and then Vicodin with (?) the morphine? They

would give him the morphine in the IV. The nurse would access it and

slowly push it through. The pain got better. Before this they had

decided he needed to stay over night in case he needed different pain

meds as I couldn't do the IV morphine.

Dr Strom came in the following morning and told him that he would not

release him until he felt he would be ok at home pain wise, walking

etc. Chuck said to be safe he would like to spend one more day. They

called Dr Strom at 2am and told him he had a lot of urine in the

bladder after they did soemthing that was like an ultrasound of the

bladder. He told them to straight cath him. They did it twice over the

2 days and then he told them to put a reg. cath in. The following

morning he came in and asked how he was feeling and what did he want to

do. Chuck said go home!! He said ok, but he was starting him on ???? I

don't have the name handy and that your blood pressure can really drop

if you take this and he wouldn't release him till midafternoon as he

didn't want him passing out at home. They took his b/p every half hour

for awhile and then said he was ready to go.

Bob and Peyton had to leave on Sat. so we didn't get much time with

them. Bunkie and Justyne stayed till 6am this morning. During Bunkie

and Justyne's

stay he shampooed my rugs and washed the kitchen and bathroom floors

for me. He did most of the cooking when we came home so we could rest.

We saw Dr Strom this morning and he said to come back Fri. morning to

get the stitches out. He said to get Chuck up at 5 and remove the cath.

He showed and told me what to do and said if I felt unsure or if the

cath wouldn't come out, to leave it and he would remove it. He is then

more than likely going to send him to the urologist.

I know a few of you have had small update but I thought it would be

easier to just repeat everything about today rather send out a lot of

different posts/emails. We would like to thank everyone for their

prayers.

Hugs
