Well my friends, i had the surgery, it went wellbg, but im in a lot of pain unfortunately. When they got in there, they noticed the tumor was closer to my kidneys than he thought, so he had to also cut a little of my kidney, along with my bladder, so when i have a full bladder, the pain is terrific, and then when i release it, oh man, it feel just like contractions when your in labor, wow does it hurt. I am on pain pills, but all they make me wanna do is sleep, and i am a very active person, so thats driving me nuts. But i also know its best. This is about the only time i been up and alert really since the surgery, so i thought i would let you guys know how things went. My urologist is sending it to the Pathologist, and i will find out what kind of cancer it was, and where we go from here, hopefully, just checkups every three months is all i will have to do. All thanks to the damn fricking cigarette, how do you love something that hates you and wants to kill you, I will never know.Cigarettes are like an abusive man, eventually they will kill you. Have a great day my friends, and i will check in tomorrow, time to sleep again, lol.

Recover and recover well. 🙂

Addiction is as addiction does, Forest Gump would say. We don't love it, our brain does as it is chemically altered to receive a drug that gives it a nice high in the reward center that likes to be maintained. Fix after fix, hit after hit. Once we 'change our stinkin' thinkin'" and stay quit longer there is no love lost, no love at all as a matter of fact. Congratulations on quitting, thank God we have you around to support others too. You have a very inspirational and powerful true life story connected with this addiction.

Barbara is right! Don't fight the rest. When ever your tired, rest. It's the fastest way to recovery! I'm glad all came out well and I hope your better very soon.

Get plenty of rest and heal. My dad had bladder cancer 3 times 7 years ago and he came through it just fine. The reason he kept getting it was he would not stop smoking until this last time in 2002. Feel better and take your pain medication. It's ok to feel sleepy that is what you are supposed to be doing. Sleep will help you heal. My thoughts and prayers are with you for a fast healing time.
