Appointment with urology nurse to remove catheter and check for normal working.
This went well but was marginal so agreed to return tomorrow for another scan to check for retention. Retension today was on the hight end although Mr Wedderburn was OK with me going home.
Walked to hospital and back to Jumpers corner. Bus to High Street and then walked to surgery and along to Ralph's, then home. Distance walked 7miles.

Friday August 13th.
Went out this morning without rucksack for power walk - Stanpit Marsh, Avon Beach to Cliffhanger cafe at Highcliffe, onlt took 1hr 20 minutes. Returned same way. Met twitcher on Stanpit Marsh looking for rare glossy ibis which had been reported the previous day. Two men saw it but it was then hidden in reed beds so I did not see it. Arrived home 10.15a.m. Distance walked 11miles.
Then walked into town to post letters, the caught X1 to Bournemouth to see consultant urologist.
He agreed to arrange for urology nurse to arrange for me to have a TWOC. She later telpphoned and TWOC has been arranged for Wednesday August 18th. Hopefully I hall be able to function without the need for a catheter while on the walk.

Practice walks & things in August 2010.
Tuesday August 3rd
we were in Plymouth and discovered that the ferry at Noss Mayo stops on September 26th two days before I get there! Similarly with the ferry from Bantham to Bigbury-on-Sea. Have obtained telephone numbers of taxi firms so I can get transport arund both rivers. River Erme low tide is 2.23p.m. on day I will be there so no issues crossing. Also found information about accomodation in Wembury and Portwrinkle - since returning have boked accomodation in both locations and also in Fowey. Also have booked accomodation in Padstow - so only three venues to be confirmed. Feel very positive about this.
