No, but may have to one day. Long story short, she lost her bladder a few years ago, went good for a while, then infection started. They haven't been able to stop it, but the dr. In Florida believes she can help, so she's redoing the surgery next month, like everything they did when they removed her bladder
Daddy was diagnosed w bladder CA in the early 90s. That, and a really nasty divorce, prompted me to move from Atlanta back to Kingsport. Dad finally ended up at UVA hospital for an ileal conduit. He dealt w it just fine for numerous years. Yeah, he had renal infections from time to time and had to be hospitalized for sepsis. Heads up: having worked in hospitals before, I know they are some of the nastiest places for immunosuppressed folks. Be vigilant, stay in the room with Tiffany. Watch out for housekeeping that comes in swinging a dirty mop and docs that don't wash their hands. Daddy got through it all bc we made sure everything was clean and safe. I don't know the exact procedure Tiffany will be going through, but I do know she has the support of a loving man and daughters.
