Pain, pain go away, come back another day.. Hello everyone, yesterday was my first Elmiron instillation. Even though I was diagnosed months ago, I had to keep moving the date, because of $$$ issues. It's $25 co-pay each time I see my doc. Since I do this once a week for 4 weeks, it adds up. The great news is that my husband found his "dream job"!!! :woohoo: it's a blessing since I have been the "breadwinner" in family for the last three years, while he was going to school and being a full-time dad to our 5 year-old, who had started kindergarten last week. :smile tee The instillation was a little painful, just the cathater part was uncomfortable, compared to other experiences w/cathaters at hospital, the nurse did a great job. So I held it for a little more than an hour and it was getting uncomfortable minute by minute, nothing I couldn't handle. My doc prescribed me some Hydrocodones, but when I dropped off at pharmacy they said they need to contact the Dr.s office because he forgot to write in a key piece of info on milligrams. Well the office was closed and they had to leave a message, I was thinking thats o.k. I'll be fine till tomorrow. Low and behold in about an hour I was in fetal position crying my eyes out. I couldn't believe it!:( Why was there such a "pain delay"? Thank god we received a call from pharmacy finally saying they were ready! I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced a delay like that? I'm off work today, so I'm taking it easy. Thanks everyone for your kind suggestions and Think Positive! :flower:
