Dr. Kim refered me to a hemotologies |
Other drugs put on hold. |
| 2024-06-27 |
Dr. Cavallo changed the catheter. (Actually a med-student did it) |
Had bleeding and pain for two days after. |
| 2024-06-05 |
Trip to walk-in clinic for allergies. |
It took about 2 hours for it to be felt but doing better on Monday.
Taking a tapored does for 10 days. |
| 2024-05-29 |
Cavallo changed the cather. |
She told me the bad news while I was on the table. Not very
professional I think. |
| 2024-05-10 |
Had another CT-scan for Cavollo. I'm not sure what we're trying to
find. |
They put the contrast through the bladder this time. |
| 2024-04-27 |
Had the exploratory exam, bad news. |
There is a new fistula at the top of the bladder and that's where the
pills came through. |
| 2024-04-24 |
Penis was hurting. Pushed mucus though penis. The fistula is still open
but it hurts cause the catheter is in there. |
This is not a new fistula but the current one. Saw undissolved "pills"
in my urine bag. Where did they come from? |
| 2024-04-21 |
Not another fistula - not sure what I saw and felt but it wasn't a
fistula. Had several days where I had to take oxy at night and in the
morning to combat the pain. The pain has slowed down the last couple of
days but it is still there, front and back. |
Still taking meds on schedule. |
| 2024-04-21 |
I'm maintaining. The proctitis seems to be happening every morning with
pain. |
Nothing to look forward to. |
| 2024-04-08 |
Looks like another fistula. Saw "orange" when I passed mucus. Called
Cavallo yesterday. Her plan is no plans until the 26th. |
Taking meds on schedule. Not bad but hurts when moving. I feel the need
to pass from rectum which I don't want to do.. |
| 2024-04-05 |
Had to go to ER for bladder spams |
Morphine for the pain (it was bad) and changed my bladder medicine to
Pyridium |

Catheter hurts |
This has to get better. |

painful. |
Glad I got in |

Dr. Cavallo inserted catheter |
I was glad I got in, I don't think I could have stood it another day. |
