Urologist visit

Check ups…. The joy I could go without. I really hate going into the urologist. He always has something bad to tell me. This time it was about my blood work that I had done before I had my cystoscope done. My urologist wanted to make sure that my hormone levels were fine. Well that’s all fine and dandy but when the nurses at his office didn’t call me to tell me that my thyroid levels we below half of what they should have been, I got worried. No actually I don’t think worried is the word. More like what the hell is going to happen now. I seriously thought it was the end of the world, I mean was he going to tell me I was going to die next. There were just so many possibilities running through my head and it drove me crazy. Now I don’t know how many of you out there have gone through something like this, but it’s not fun. Nothing ever is fun when you find out something else could be wrong with you, besides what’s already going on.

IC I tell you, is enough for me to deal with, not considering my other health problems I have that don’t pertain to IC. On the other hand I did hear good news from the urologist that day. He said as long as I stay on track and continue to take all my medications my bladder will heal at a faster rate. That’s the one thing I have been waiting to hear. It’s almost overwhelming because of everything you have to go through just to make yourself better. I mean no one asked for this so it really isn’t’ fair but then again it is life. Life is a challenge all on its own, but it loves to throw obstacles in the way to see if we can get over them. IC just happens to be an obstacle for most of us, and we all have our own way of getting over it, and with the help of your medical care provider you can work to get over your obstacle so it won’t take over your life.
