What with Mysty and now my OH ...........!
Last night he had fresh blood in his pee and again this morning. His urologist had no appointments to offer so he's off at A&E now. Last week I was diagnosed with high blood pressure and the drama of today has sent that sky high. I'm hoping to hear good news later.

Hope you get good news I'm scared to poop and your OH is scared to pee. Make sure you take something to drink we had a long wait and took nothing.

Must be cooler where you are , if you didn't drink anything for so long. Sweating all day yesterday while working I drank 5 liters of water and didn't pee a drop!

We’ll all be hoping for good news from both Mysty and your OH, Veem, and that your bp has levelled out.

Sorry to hear that Dept71.
OH came home with a November appointment to see his urologist and 29 Oct for an echographie. How things have changed in the 20 years we've been here. Back then we could have got those appointments within a few days. I was waiting anxiously for a call from him and when the phone rang I was some distance from the phone carrying a glass of water. In my rush I tripped headlong over a cable and my stupid flip-flops somehow made my toes bend forward at about 90 degrees. I had to crawl across the lounge scared stiff to try stand because the tiled floor still hadn't dried 3 hours after it had been washed so was like an ice rink. Both feet are now black and blue and it's almost impossible to walk. Fortunately I still have my crutches from 17 years ago. After that my BP shot up to 188/182!!!!!!!!!!! It gradually came down to 135/89. The glass of water remained intact!

Oh, Veem, that must have been a nasty shock as well as painful - lots of srnica needed! So your old crutches still have a use instead of gathering dust! Look after yourself.

If your blood pressure isn't under control 2 weeks after starting treatment you should go back to your doctor without delay. Untreated hypertension can lead to unexpected consequences as I know to my cost. Hope you're back on your feet again soon.

I had blood in my pee a while ago, been told I have bladder cancer, awaiting for the op to remove my bladder then onto a bag for the rest of my life. Gosh, that must have been a shock. But you must be reassured that the problem is being dealt with in a timely manner .. Good luck.

Good grief V what a mishap - I'm happy to hear you are OK after your tumble .. as gigi says slather on the arnica - it really helps. Also pleased to read your BP came down .. that's a relief. Ref Biggles I am a bit surprised his MT didn't test his urine at the surgery - or did Biggles go straight to Urgences , bypassing your MT ?
