Hospital I go on monday for some lovely tests.

So here's the deal. My doc thinks I have interstitial cystitis. It's like a bladder infection without the infection and it doesn't go away. So monday morning, bright and early, I get to have a cystoscopy. Yep, he's gonna put a telescope in my bladder and have a look round.

I'm so excited. I can't wait for general anesthesia so I don't have to think about it anymore.

Crap!

Lori sorry to hear this, but you know what maybe he will get to results, be able to treat you and fix you up so you are not uncomfortable and in pain. I think having the general anesthsia is good, but I am sure you are still nervous. I will be thinking of you and wishing you a speedy recovery. Hugs to you and please keep us posted.

Love ya, sweety!!

Lori, sorry to hear about your problem. Sending some hugs along. At least if he finds out what it is, he may be able to help with the discomfort.

I'll be thinking of you.

I don't want him to find a thing except the reason for your discomfort and a remedy for it. Hope it all goes well.

Aaahhh, anesthesia, take me away........

Oh, cr*p, Lori, and the day after Easter too! But, at least you may get to the bottom of what is going on. Good thing they do that under anethesia...don't have to worry about feeling a thing.


Good luck and I will be thinking of you and sending some prayers.

Boy, some people will do anything to get drugs!! ;-) I'm kidding, of course. Here's hoping that the procedure is the first step on your road to getting well and feeling better. Thoughts and prayers will be with you.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, you all are the best. I'm DREADING this test and the short hospital stay (just for the day, but really!) I hate hospitals. I hate invasive, annoying procedures and nurses who've never been sick a day in their lives telling me that it won't be all that bad.

Thanks for the support. This has been a very trying, painful and embarassing process. Thanks for letting me retain at least some of my dignity.

Sounds neither fun nor a good way to kick off the week. However... I hope this look around will get to the bottom of this. No pun intended.
