Well, here we are four months since my last installation and I have almost forgotten to let you know how things are going. Possibly, because I just do not think about my bladder these days.
It is difficult to find the words to describe the immense change in my life; from absolute despair that things were never going to improve, to the sheer joy of beginning able to embrace life again. I have no pain or discomfort, something I had put up with for four years. I sleep right through the night, no longer getting up two or three times a night to visit the bathroom. I can drink as much as I wish, without organising my life around where the nearest toilet is. It is a marvellous feeling.
I recently went to Iceland and undertook a four-hour walk across a glacier, an amazing experience, one I could not have considered this time last year – four hours without a comfort break! I do however worry that the share price of cranberry producers may slump due to the fact that I am no longer the world’s largest consumer of their products.
Please can you thank Mr Dudderidge on my behalf, for bringing such a change to my life. I had given up any hope of things ever improving. I am so pleased that he went ahead with the instillations, despite my doubts that they would be beneficial.
Thank you so much for all of your help and patience over the last year or so, you have been brilliant.
