It would be nice to report that everything was now in order.

For the last 5 days I had started to notice that urinating was becoming harder. It felt like there was a blockage though I could pass water albeit slowly. In addition I was suddenly needing to go to the toilet.

This morning I went to the Doctor. Thanks to Ev who had kept a specimen bottle in the house I took a sample with me. Even I could see that the contents were cloudy. Anyway the Doctor was most impressed by this, did some tests and said there was a urine infection. She prescribed anti biotics to take for 5 days. In addition to that she sent my sample to the Laboratory to check if there are any ooh nasties lurking.

Apparently infections are quite common with the use of catheters. This is quite a price to pay for a check on my digestive system.

The results from the Lab are due in a week's time. I'll let you know the results.
