Archive | My Bladder and Me

The last time I posted about my problem concerning my bladder, I was mulling over whether or not to go back to the urologist. I got no help from anyone regarding the decision I should make so that left it up to me. I guess there was no opinion either way. My appointment was on […]

The little card in my purse says my next appointment with the urologist is the 6th. That’s Wednesday. I have been debating whether or not to keep it. I have a feeling that, if I do, he will want to put me back on antibiotics and I don’t want that. Most mornings, I can do […]

(My appointment was yesterday.) As usual, I left well before my appointment time in case there was a delay on the way. There was nothing spectacular that happened. A few slow vehicles but not enough to make me late. In fact, I got to the complex early enough that I got my netbook out and […]

Last week, I was rhapsodizing about how wonderful it is to have the option of going almost “commando”. This week, I have an entirely different story to tell. Sabbath, I was so proud of myself. I only went to the ladies’ room once and that was between services. But then Sunday came. I don’t know […]

I was going to wait until later in my experience to report again but I’m so psyched, I can’t go on that long. I’m an impatient child. I’ll admit it. I want to tell it and I want to tell it NOW!! It will be brief, but that’s better than something that goes on and […]

It’s been just over a week since my second visit to the urologist and, for the most part, I think things are better. Before I give the impression that I’m over the worst of it, I need to clarify some details. Today was the first day since the first day that I have started taking […]

My appointment was for 10:30 so I’d let my boss and her secretary know I wouldn’t be coming in until after it was over. I hadn’t counted on everything though. I’m like one of my co-workers who likes to allow plenty of time to get somewhere and I ended up at the office ‘way early. […]

A few weeks ago, I was reading some of the posts on the Urinary Incontinence Support Group where I learned about Prelief, made by the same company that makes Beano. It’s an over the counter aid for heartburn that has the pleasant side effect of helping with urge incontinence caused by acid foods. Take a […]

Today was the big day. I had an appointment with a urologist. It was something I’ve put off for years and now I was Going In. I could hardly believe it myself. DS1 had asked me several times when I was going to get Something Done. The Front Office staff had about given up on […]

When I went to see my doctor several weeks ago, I bit the bullet and told him about my bladder problem. He looked a little surprised when I asked him about the SPARC Sling. I guess I wasn’t supposed to know about it but I’d done my homework. His answer about the sling was that […]
