I'm at the doctors office waiting to have my urodynamics test done.
My case managers car broke down and I'm here alone and super nervous.
:(

So it didn't go well......
They couldn't get the catheter in because my urethra is extremely recessed due to the fact that I got my ovaries taken out so young. No one told me that this could be a side effect. She then tried to do a cystoscopy but that also failed because of my urethra.
Now I have to have another procedure under anesthesia because she thinks I also have a blockage of some sort.

So I'm not doing well

justej,

I regretted reading of your medical difficulties. I hope your urologist will be able to manage your situation to your benefit, and soon.

thanks everyone.
yesterday was extremely traumatic and emotional.
im glad we are getting to the root of the problem, but the process of getting there is horrific.
my parents are being great and supportive and so are my friends. a lot of people talk about not telling their friends of their incontinence, but im not hiding mine from my friends. and i REALLY need the support of my close friends right now, you know?
im taking it easy today. i cried all day yesterday and think i got it out of my system.
:)
