I'm delighted to say that, after almost 6 years, I'm no longer in the care of a uro-gyny or colo-rectal surgeon, as of yesterday.
This is because, although I still have pelvic floor problems, the rectal irrigation is working, and I'm as fully functioning as canI be. I will still have access to the continence nurses, so should be fine.
This feels like a huge achievement, after all my previous surgeries, so I thought I would share it with my buddies who will understand my joy.

Aha Kathy!
Losing some 'ologists' is wonderful. I don't think I've lost any...but.....if I can just stop gaining them!
Plus I've never even heard of the two you have, so I know I"m ahead of the game.
congratulations,.....I'm so glad something is working, and nurses are so much nicer than 'ologists' IMHO.
Hugs, Elaine
Sweet! I love hearing success stories!
Awesome news - something to celebrate for a change! Hope the good fortune continues!

Yay, Kathyx . . . . so happy for you!! It's been a long road for you and many, many trips to the different "ologists".
I wish we lived close to each other - we'd go out and celebrate!! ;D
Thanks for sharing your good news!

Well done Kathy, it's always good to come on here and read some good news.
I'm really happy for you .
We've come a long way together on the site Kathy. and I remember well all the problems you have had. and being from the UK you are rather special. As Bucky says if we all live nearer each other we'd be celebrating ! so CHEERS,

Graduation Day! Congratulations.
You should throw a graduation party!!!!! ;D ;)
Thank you for your lovely comments.
I agree Bucky and Dolly, it would be wonderful to have a get together sometime. Maybe, when I win the lottery, we will get chance.
Hugs

:D Celebrating here with you! Have a great day!
Brilliant news Kathy, well done! You have had a long road to get where you are and I'm really pleased that the new treatment is working well for you.
I was thinking of you last week as we spent a week near Hebden Bridge, and visited Ilkley, Marsden
and the Salts mill, which was lovely!
Back to earth with a bump now though. - mountains of washing and my other foot op on Tuesday. It's a bit like getting pregnant again and remembering how much you didn't like giving birth! I will be glad when it's Wednesday and I'm back home again.
Celebrating your freedom from 2 ologists with a cup of Yorkshire tea!! Take care xx

Ailsa, hello!
It's funny you should say you were in Yorkshire last week, as I was thinking about you too, and wondered when we might get to meetin Halifax. And, what a coincidence - we were in Hebden Bridge last Sunday -what a shame we missed one another.
I'm sorry to hear you are in for more surgery. Wishing you all the very best. BTW I remember the fear when I went into labour the second time too - I really panicked, and left it as long as I could before going into the hospital.
Will be thinking about you tomorrow.Keep in touch, if you can.
Kathyx
