Got my staples out [33 of them] and 24 sutures I didn't know I had. I am still on home restriction, and can't drive for 6 to 8 weeks. The pathology report came back and it showed the cancer was confined to the muscle wall of the bladder. With the bladder removed, I am cancer-free..... according to the doctor. I return to him in three months for a check-up. I am still quite swollen..... my waist is normally 33 inches, but it's measuring 38 inches. The only trousers I can wear are sweat pants. I guess time is all it's going to take, and time is the one thing I have plenty of. Thanks for your encouragement. I really appreciate all the support I've received from the members of the forum. Thanks....
