Hi everyone, it's be a loooong time since I last posted, but a lot has happened since last summer. In July I met someone, we fell in love almost immediately, and I moved in with him In September. I'm now living 3 hours away from ALL my family. Mark is a wonderful person, and accepts my disibilities as things that "just are", my incontinence being one of them. He is just SO supportive it's unreal. I'm so very lucky to have met him. Originally I was to have seen a urologist in October, but the day before the appointment (to which we were going to have to do a 6 hour round trip) I recieved a letter saying that the appointment have been cancelled and rearranged. This has happened a further SEVEN times. I've recently been referred by my new gp to a urologist near here (Norfolk, UK). Back last may I met with the "pee stick nurse" have have been ISC since then. Although the company I get my catheters from is based in Wiltshire, they are perfectly happy to deliver here. The company who provides my nappies however, were not. I have an appointment on Monday morning, to get that ball rolling. Mark has said that he's already taken the morning off work, so he can support me. Considering the clinic is only about 15 minutes from his office, I originally asked him if he could drop me off on the way. HE was the one who asked ME if he could come too. Just another of the MANY reasons why I love him <3. It has now been 1 year 25 days since I became UI, and although the first few months were rough, I'm gradully getting to the point where I just get on with my day. I'm NOT going to be enslaved to my bladder!
On the other hand, I've just made a big decision that I've been uhming and ahhing over for the last 6 months or so. I have just ordered my first cloth diaper from Kins, and I'm super excited to try it when it gets here (6-8 weeks
The only other update is that over the last 4 months or so, I've started having a few bowel accidents. I'm hoping it's not going to deteriorate, or that I'll suddenly lose control overnight like I did with my bladder, but I'm not going to worry myself mad over it. It's not something I can having control over, so if it happens, I'd just deal with it, like I have with this.Hope you're all well,
Cheryl
