Our DCS man was unfortunately back in the Chamber today. We examined him this morning and there was *some* improvement, but Dr Ahmed asked him the big-money question re: presence of urinary retention (which we should've asked about yesterday, but didn't..)? And he said yes.. = BAD.
He has a spinal thoracic lesion (around T10, the belly button area), which can result in paralysis and/ or paraesthesia from there downwards (so groin, legs, feet).
So he was back in the Chamber for another (4hrs 45mins) USN T6 session today. His friend went in with him (instead of Alice), which I thought it a much better arrangement, since they had much more to chat about and were a bit more at ease with each other.
Bueno.
This is actually a pretty serious case. Dr Ahmed said ~1 in 50 DCS cases are this severe, so we are very lucky to have been able to see one and follow one through.
So he'll be back again tomorrow am and we'll see how he is.
Beach tomorrow am. Hopefully we'll find the one you have to pay for (didn't see it on the way back from the Old Market). Tum tee tum.
