I Think I'm Sick....

Good for you, Janet! Good luck tomorrow, and I hope he clears that cough up too.

I did have to go to a urologist, Janet. He did the bladder and the gynecologist did the rest, they just did it at the same time. There are tests the urologist will do to see how much you stress leak. Not the most comfortable tests in the world, but worth it!

[Janet]

Tell me about it Betsi...so I can ask questions. Is it painful??

[gja1000]

Since Betsi had it done with a hysterectomy, it would be hard to separate the hysterectomy pain from the bladder suspension pain. I've not had it done, but I would imagine there would be some discomfort, but not as much as a hysterectomy.

I was more worried about what she called the stress leak test. I just like being prepared..lol.

[Blueyes]

If I can remember, lol! It's been several years ago. Seems like he filled my bladder with liquid then pushed around to see if he could make it leak, which of course it did. The tests are a little uncomfortable, but not painful. Nothing you can't stand by any means. I never wear a pad, and I can cough and sneeze without squeezing my legs together Ask me anything Janet, I'm not shy

I saw my doctor this morning. He said my lungs are full and making lots of noise....I told him "duh, I could have told you that. So he put me on an antibiotic and some Robitussin with codeine cough medicine. I LOVE that stuff, well anything really with codeine...lolol.

I also have an appointment with a urologist on January 30th. I still have blood in my urine, but they have found it before. When they sent me to a urologist before, they couldn't find anything.
