You poor guy... Your misery is shared by all of us who have spoken to you about this. Unfortunately, you alone are the one burdened with this loathsome condition.
Can’t you get the procedure done on the mainland by someone who specializes in artificial sphincters?? This “waitlist” nonsense is socialized medicine distilled down to its worst component; you obviously NEED this procedure and they jerk you around with useless pelvic exercises that even THEY know will never work.
I said it before and I’ll say it again: Pay privately for the procedure to be done by an excellent surgeon who does this routinely. Mortgage your home, take a loan, whatever. The surgeon you finally end up with in Tasmania is probably some chop shop, half-assed boob who practices like it’s the 1990’s. He may mess things up so badly that even a good surgeon won’t be able to help you down the road.
Don’t mean to rant, but you have been a great sport about your ugly situation - and what you are experiencing is FAR from normal. It makes me angry to see the victim blamed for the crime…
