Tom here:
The scans and tests this morning showed the pocket where the drain is is shrinking, and the leak healing. While a dye injection showed there is still a pathway from the pocket to the bladder (the dye went into the bladder) it is small, and because my bladder currently has no pressure (because of the catheter), nothing is leaking out. The plan is to keep both tube and catheter in for one more week to allow complete healing and then remove both. That will be next Thursday.
Hopefully I will still have skin in my crotch when that happens, after almost a month of a constant wash of urine, I have a pretty impressive rash.
The light is now shining at the end of the tunnel. Thanks for all of your interest and support.
Tom

Happy to hear the good news!
ReplyDeleteHurrah! Hopefully in the next few days the dye will stop finding it's way into your bladder Tom.
