Hi. I started this page for myself. I have struggled with my health since 2004. I have struggled with urinary health since having my son on 09/30/2010. I have desperately tried to find ways to fix/cure these issues (resistant UTIs, mesh sling erosion, multiple surgeries, daily urethral pain)…. To no avail. I have done telemed appts with a doctor in NYC at Sloan Kettering…. I even went to Cleveland Ohio and saw a doctor there at Cleveland Clinic! No one has any ways to fix these issues: pain, incontinence and constant resistant UTIs. On October 20th I will be having a bladder and urethral removal plus ileal conduit done. It carries a 6 hour surgery and one week postoperative recovery inpatient. After I come home I will be out of commission for 3 weeks. I am hoping to be able to bring my son home from my daughter’s house when I get out of the hospital. He is almost 15 yo and can mostly do for himself and pick up chores around the house. But I could use some help with a meal train. This is the first I have heard of this. I have never participated in one. So keep that in mind as you read my scary notes and story! lol.
