Thank you for your prayer - it worked.

I found the first BCG instillation very easy; subsequently - neither blood nor burning upon urination.

Unfortunately, since there had been a huge snowstorm a few days ago and mounds of snow/ice left as a present, upon exiting the car I fell onto a large bank of hardened snow. Since there was no one around at the time, I struggled mightily (hmm... a slight exaggeration) and finally managed to stand. Now, I have the physical aches and pains as a reminder of that visit.

At any rate, this is only the beginning of what I know will be a long and arduous journey so I do need to mentally and emotionally prepare myself. Having suffered from major unipolar depression in the distant past, I am thankful for the good people (like yourself) in this group who lend their much-needed support and demonstrate courage and determination which I hope to emulate.

To all the member of this group, I send my sincere best wishes.
