Without warning, I started passing urine with blood and blood clots. Very painfull. Lots of blood clots.
I don’t want to see another catheter again. They used it to irrigate my bladder in order to clean out the clots. The irrigation went on 24 hours a day. The clots kept coming until the operation. The passing of the clots is extremely painful.
The took me to the operating room yesterday and gave me a spinal. What an experience that was. You end up totally disconnected with your lower body so they can do their will. They put in a camera with other attachments to clean out the remaining blood and blood clots. Then they looked for where the blood was coming (my prostate) and then cauterized the spot.
Every thing seems OK now. So back to work.
By the way, that sure was a busy week newswise.
Very glad to see you’re back, Ted.
MY NEWS-ANXIETY IS ONLY QUENCHED AFTER READING ISRAPUNDIT, SO PLEASE GET WELL AGAIN ASAP. BEST WISHES FROM AN ARGENTINE FAN.
Well come back but further investigation is mandatory.
U must know it.
Welcome back my friend. Be well.

You are alive, you know it, and your attending physicians, surgeons and nurses knew what to look for, found it, and solved your medical problem. The older we get, the greater the likelihood of a rendezvous with a hospital operating room or intensive care unit. Our daughter is a skilled and busy nurse in a major medical center near Racine, Wisconsin. What we haven’t been able to figure out on our own, we learn from her.
Anyway, that’s the size of it. (Referring to the generalities of medical and surgical needs among aging populations, not the size of your prostate.)

Poor Ted thats as close to child birth as a man can achieve.
Welcome back Ted.
All the best Ted. Life is sweet and short and my life with 4 dogs and my cat continually emphasise that…They taught me to live in the present
Welcome back Ted you were missed, and prayers were answered.
Ted:
From Middle East Radio Forum, on behalf of myself and Bill Wolf. Speedy recovery. I know from my own hospitalizations — it is the place you want to leave ASAP. May HaShem watch over you for you still have much to do as a “town crier” (actually a “world-crier” if I may coin that term) on behalf of Israel.
Yishar Ko-ach!

The Jewish People can’t do without you. Don’t ever let that happen again!
Glad your back and better!
Phew!!!
It is great to have you back.
I’ll second rongrand’s comment.
Best wishes for speedy recovery!
Yikes! You’ve been through a minor hell. At least it wasn’t cancer.
I am convinced without scientific evidence that the prostate is protected by regular use. Use it or lose it, even if you have to go it alone.
Welcome back, Ted. It’s good to have you back and well again.
I am so excited! I just ordered a raw silk prayer shawl and tallit from Israel for the High Holidays. It has Jerusalem on with the prayer asher kideshanu bemitzvotav vitzivanu lehitatef betzitzit”. Of coarse I plan to buy a new outfit for the New Year. Relax Shy, I own my own business so it is MY money that pays for it…..
Yes, welcome back.
The site was like a field of wandering sheep without it’s shepherd.
You had us worried. Good to have you back.
Welcome back!
Glad you’re back! May you continue to heal. Your wit and wisdom has been missed.
Urinary tract problems?
It’lll pass. 😆
Shabbat Shalom.
Thank goodness! That must have been scarey. My husband has a blood clot between his heart and lung due to a stress related attack that sent him to hospital. He is on blood thinners and we are hoping they will take effect before the clot decides to do fatal damage.
Shabbat Shalom! Take a load off. Talk soon….
Welcome back!
So glad you’re well again.
