Hi, quick update

BeckyK

Hi, just wanted to let you all know that I went to my Urologist for my IC (bladder condition) and they tested my urine and found a high amount of blood in it. So I went in this morning for an IVP (X-ray of my Kidneys and bladder) and I will go back next month to my Urologist for a Cystoscopy (scope in my bladder to look around) to see if there is something more serious going on. I am very scared and hope that it is just the IC causing the elevated level of blood in my urine and not anything else.... I hope that the Urologist will call when he gets the results from the IVP because I hate waiting, especially a whole month for the results. I mean the whole time wondering if there is anything wrong is going to drive me nuts! I guess they would call right away if there were anything serious going on.

Well I gotta go, just had a quick minute to talk. Hope all is well with all of you!

Hugs and big smoochies to all my DS friends!

If he does not call, then call him yourself. It never hurts to be proactive. Good luck! Thanks for updating us here.

Thank you all for your kind prayers and thoughts. I am going to call tomarrow and see if they have the results back yet.

I was tested for Urinary Tract Infection and they found no infection, just a high amount of blood. I hope it is nothing, but I am scared to death. What if...

Think positvie, Becky. I know it is hard, because NOT knowing is the worst part, but you are not going to do yourself any good worrying about something you can't change. Just think positive!

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
