sorry its been so long but things hadn't improved with the water infectons. finally had T.u.r.p.s on March 4th the 5 day stay in hospital was eventful to say the least, i thought I was doing well but on the 3rd day the cathetor started leaking and I drowned the bed 3 times in about 6 hours, Embarrassing ?.so they finally decided to take it out, What a relief.
