Emmerdale’s Liam Cavanagh implements changes that could turn everything around for Cain Dingle. The aftermath of Cain’s prostate cancer surgery is something he is really struggling to get to grips with.
Cain’s Struggle After Surgery
Prior to having the operation, Cain came very close to cancelling it as he was worried about how the side effects would impact his and Moira Dingle’s relationship. He eventually got his priorities straight and realised that being around to watch his children grow up was far more important than the intimacy side of his marriage changing. Once the surgery had been completed, reality smacked Cain in the face as he realised his body had changed a great deal in a very short space of time. He was told that he would have to have a catheter in place for two weeks, but potentially more, and Cain hated the idea of carrying it around. The fact that Cain is a tiny bit vulnerable in his recovery is probably what is bothering him the most.
Recently, best friend Liam Cavanagh told Cain to leave his pride at the door after his catheter is removed, but he was not in the mood for Liam’s comments. Earlier this week, Cain had his catheter removed and wondered if life was going to return to normal again. He hit the pints at the Woolpack and ignored Caleb Miligan’s urges to slow down. As he walked home, Cain was given a reminder that his life most certainly is not the same as before the operation, as he was caught short and had to go to the toilet at the side of the road. Witnessing this was PC Swirling, who arrested Cain for urinating in public and being drunk and disorderly.
Liam’s Advice
In his cell, Cain’s anger grew when Swirling offered him some sweatpants and was then held overnight. Next week, best friend and all-round advice giver Liam heads to Wishing Well to try and help Cain again. He advises his friend to find a practical solution so he can start living his life again. It is important for Cain to accept that his body is now in a different place as a result of this operation. Wishing that he never had the surgery is not going to change things, but can Cain find something that helps him get used to his new normal?
