Oh blog, blog I have so much to say today, but so little energy. My visit to the Urologist was very uncomfortable, but necessary for my Endo surgery. The worst part is that I have to go for more tests just like the ones I had today before my surgery can be performed. It looks like my surgery will be in November. The doctors keep stressing the fact that it will be a tough surgery for them and me. I am so hopeful that everything will go well.
Having never been to a Urologist, I did not know what to expect. Boy, was ignorance bliss. I had a tough time relaxing enough for the doc to perform the tests. At one point he filled my bladder with cold water and that was very surreal. Basically, he was trying to determine if I emptied my bladder properly, which I cannot, and if I leaked due to stress of coughing or other reasons. The tests were pretty extensive, thankfully my doc is very good about explaining what needs to be done. I was not very brave I must say, I was squeamish during most if it. My uterus does not move and that's part of the reason why my pain is so severe. The chocolate cysts (Endometrioma SP?) are also to blame for this pain. So, both ovaries, the uterus and cervix are all going....then my bladder, which is effected by Endo too, will be suspended with mesh (not the recalled mesh) and who knows what else will be done. Only time will tell. Thank you for your interest in my journey :) <3
