they're coming to take me away...
to the funny farm where life is beautiful all the time.......

( :biglaugh: ok don't get this one stuck in your head)

ok testing was ok, very uncomfortable, but I did make it thru... :woohoo:
my bladder held about 200ccs in pain, with the and I got to go NOW feeling..
I didn't leak.. which is a plus, but I do the week before and during my period,
which I am guessing most icers do. (if not don't tell me)
In the first 30 mins I was there I pee'd twice and they cathed out 70cc's before the test begun and before I was hooked up to all these (ok 2) lovely wires... Doc told me he had forgotten how small my bladder was, and with me retaining a 1/3 or better I need to double void (at least thats what I think he said) I'm thinking.. good god don't I already go enough :biglaugh: .... anywho.... he dosen't find it necessary to do the bladder sling at this time, but, it don't mean he may not want to in the future...

[traceann]

I am happy it went ok.

[tigger_gal]

Thanks everyone... I am glad its over.. know I know that I am retaining, so at least I know why the pressure is always there.

5 more days to go, hopefully the hysterectomy will relieve some of my pain.

[emilyrose197377]

I retain 600 cc's .

[tigger_gal]

wow.. thats bigger then my bladder.. my bladder only holds 200ccs .. I sure hope the interstim works for you.. what did the doc say about your tailbone?

[emilyrose197377]

yes it is my problem is I can't get the urine to come out and it causes major problems . even when I self cath it still stays in there not all of it comes out . That is why I keep on getting infections. My dr. thinks I broke my tailbone he gave me morphine for pain I was going to go today for the xrays but it is really nasty here .

[tigger_gal]

go and have all the tests you need now... especially an mri if needed. (can't have that after the stim)
its getting nasty here we hav about an inch of snow and are under a snow advisery till 6 am tomorrow... so I only imagine saginaw area is getting pounded.

[Janie Miranda]

Leslie,
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers for your upcoming surgery.
Extra big hugs,

[traceann]

Hey Tig, we actually got sunshine here, how about you????

[tigger_gal]

WHO TURNED OFF THE HEAT>>>>>>>>

What exactly is urodynamics? Should I be getting them done? :)-Kelly





I am off to see the uro... the wonderful uro of god.........

[tigger_gal]

Hi Kelly,
I had to have a urodymanics test done before my hysterectomy (11/28/05) to make sure I wasn't leaking and find out if I needed a bladder sling.
I went in and they cathed me and empitied my bladder, after I had already voided 2 time in 30 min. They cathed out 70cc's so that is what I retain.
They had me sit on the table (like at the gyn office) and he filled my bladder and told me to tell him when I got the urge to void... next was when I really had to go and would look for a bathroom... then when I just had to go right now and couldn't hold it.. thatwas at 200cc's.. He had me cough and see if I was leaking, and he did a cystocopy. When I was done I had to void in there potty cair to measure the amount I went.
I wasn't leaking then which is good, but he knows that I did aroundthe time of my period, and hopefuly all that will end, seeing I have had te plumbing removed.

hope this was helpful to you. really didn't know what a uro dymanics test was till I had to have one. So you this will tell you what your bladder holds and ifit is leaking

[kjones1]

Thanks for the thorough answer. It has cleared up some things for me. You said you had the "plumbing" removed. What exactly did you have removed? I hope you are feeling better and recuperating.Im having my Cysto/hydro (1st one) on Dec 14th the day after my classes are over. Rest Up,

Feel Good--Kelly

[tigger_gal]

I had a hysterectomy done, they took out my uteris, tubes and ovaries. and I had endometrosis.

[kjones1]

how long ago was this? Are you feeling better now that your pipes are gone? You are very brave! I am nervous about just having the cysto? I have mild IC. I live in Mass. It just started snowing here and its quite beautiful (the first snow... by next week I'll be sick of it). I am working on getting as much work done as I can before classes end. I've had to take a complete in one of my classes because of IC. Are you a mom? Work? I hope your IC doesn't disrupt your life too much. This experience has made me appreciate the small things and connect with people on a whole other level. I am wishing like my pain that your pain goes away.--Kelly

[Babs RN]

Kelly,
The cysto/hydro isn't terrible. I hope you have great results. I was born in MA and am moving to Newport, RI in July. Haven't lived in the NE ever since I was a baby so this should be fun!!I can drive in snow however, college in Nebraska.

Hugs,
Barb :grouphug:

[tigger_gal]

Kelly,
I am still sore, and I am flaring. It's going to take a whiles for me to feel better. I am feeling better every day, and hoping the pain will stop soon.
You will be fine like Barb said having the cysto done.
we got snow last night and its bright out there lol.. but it is pretty.
I am a mom of 1, my daughter is 17 and a senior in high school. (click on the photobucket below, there are pictures of my daughter, family, & dogs.
I do not work, I have been on SSD since 2003. (I think, lol) I was a licensed Cosmotoligist, and Cos Instructor.
I am glad you found us, yuo will learn so much about IC here.
I do hope your pain goes away too.

[kjones1]

Thanks tigger gal. I am learning lots of great stuff on how to get better. Keep healing and healing. I like your doggies ( I peeked at your pictures) We have a minature pincher. I wish I had pic to put up--Kelly
