HI everyone. Ed was brought to the E clinic lastnight, where they were able=
to help him. Although they were unable to get a catheter in, they were abl=
e to move whatever it was that was blocking him and he is peeing like a cha=
mp now. Eating great, and drinking on his own also. Not sure if it was in f=
act his prostate causing the problems. He has such a nasty bladder infectio=
n that it might have been a mucus plug causing the issue. The infection cou=
ld have been caused by prostate issues though. Needless to say, I have him =
on antiobiotics and propecia to take down the swelling of his prostate, I a=
m also starting him on Lupron. Thank you all for you thoughts and prayers.
