Sad to say this hard to put into text on the forum. Christmas Day I was working around the house and thought I picked up a UTI of some sort. It got worse through the evening. The next morning its started to clear then turned into I can't urinate. I drove to the hospital and found out I've got a tumor in my bladder partially blocking the right ureter. Never the less I was outfitted with a catheter and sent home with an appointment for a specialist in Meridian, ID. The ran the camera in me and sure enough, there is a fair size growth. The plan is by next Wednesday to have it removed. 

 

I'm going be out of action for a while. Anyone local to me I would like to ask for assistance if possible. My Great BoD's here are going to have to pick up the operation of the site for a while. 

 

I'm alive and well for the most part. Shaken by this, Oh hell Yes! The huge burden of trying to take care of myself and MoparMom dialysis. Then the mental stress of it being possibly cancer. Today I'm going to try and just as much as possibly gain some strength so I can just keep trucking. I've got to keep rolling for MoparMom's sake. 

 

Again I'm tapping @BrianAtSmarty for the day of my operation being I will be in the hospital for at least two days. He's going to put us up at his place and shuttle MoparMom on my days I'm down.

Hey Mopar man, just wanted to let you know that September 1, 2018 my wife and I found out that my youngest son (24) has a brain tumor with the help of Stanford and the grace of God his tumor is shrinking down and next month he will do radiation for 6 weeks and hopefully getting back to normal, when I received your reminder to get my tickets I was setting in the hospital with him doing his last round of chemo, so I just wanted you to know that the good lord is out there watching over you as well and I personally will be praying for you and your mom, so stay optimistic, all of us will keep you in our prayers. 

 

 Thanks and take care, 

Richard

A little babbling stupidity never hurt anyone. I am well versed.

Best of luck to you on your surgery and your recovery!
