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'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
