Hi all,
I had a call this morning from UCH re offering my the op before the end of the month, but I felt I still hadn't had explored all the options. Pre Med previously arranged for tomorrow.
She kindly checked with a medical person re the other RT options then called back to confirm they weren't really an option for me. (PSA 4.92 (April 23), N0M0, T3a, 4/17, biopsy samples +ve, , 4+4, 'High risk' etc).
That was to be at a private hospital that had no A&E / ICU, 'not that I should need them'? ;-(
I was 'sold' the idea that the UCH was the place to go for this op?
She also started the conversation with asking me if I was doing my exercises and I admitted I hadn't. I hadn't because I thought the operation would be at least 4-6 weeks away, not just over one!
The next offering was for early Oct, a Saturday at the UCH but I remembered the comment of people who go into hospital on the week-end are less likely to come out. There may be more to that in this case as we are back in amongst the nurses strike times (that I support btw), rather than it being a weekend as such.
But 'of course', the first time I need surgery in 60+ years it's in the aftermath of a Covid pandemic, the Ukraine war, the NHS crisis, NHS staff strikes ...
But hey, my question ... is there an (Android) app that is good for reminding me to do ... and ideally time, my pelvic floor exercises please?
A good tradesperson is like rocking horse 
these days. Even paying for an extended warranty on something doesn’t get it fixed as quickly as they lead you to believe. I very rarely get appliances repaired as more often than not it's not much more expensive to replace.
Both my husband and myself will never pay anyone to do a job around the house if we can do it ourselves, especially as we often have to put it right ourselves. It's getting more difficult now though due to us getting on a bit, but our Yorkshire up bringing won't let us part with our cash unnecessarily.
