UPDATE:

I am going in tomorrow for the test my GYN requested be performed on my bladder / kidney (and) to have the final test done on my cervix for cancer.................. Please keep the PRAYERS coming.

did you go for your test? what procedure are they doing? I am hoping for your sake the MMK! good luck hon.

I saw my doctor on Wednesday to go over all the test results and this is what we have.....

1.) My Pap Smear came back Negative this time - after having two Positives with in a ten month period..... the test still showed some irritation to my cervix and inside walls, so the doctor wants me to be tested every six months.

Please PRAY with Me that this is NOT the beginning of Cancer..... as my doctor said that it could take up to ten years before the test showed any signs of cancer and that if I keep getting tested then they should be able to find and deal with it long before it becomes serious or life threatening.

2.) My Bladder Test showed that I am having a hard time pushing the urine from my body (regular bladder pressure is 100 - mine is 165) and this is either due to a severely prolapsed bladder or blockage in the bladder....... exploratory surgery will be done on June 23 to confirm which one it is.

If it is a prolapsed bladder then my doctor will perform a pexy on my bladder - a pexy will lift my bladder back into its original place - then it will be reinforced with a bladder sling.

And of course I have - - - -
Urinary Incontinence (surgery needed to solve this) - (performed on June 23)
Over Active Bladder (taking medicine for)

Now to get an appt with my Primary Doctor so I can be cleared for surgery.......... hope the old heart is approved.

Surgery is *so* not fun... especially for our internal anythings. Boo.

Thanks for the ((( HUG ))) - and you are right, surgery is not fun what so ever....... but I can see a bright side to all this - My Family will have to take complete care of Me for once - Oooops did I say that - lol.

Oh Rhap, I'll be thinking of you June 23...Don't forget your PC family is here to to help too !!

Just wanted to touch base and remind everyone that I need those PRAYERS to start coming my way...... as I am down to the last week before my surgery.

The surgery has been changed from out patient to the hospital with me staying a few days after wards..... as the doctor has to open me up to perform part of the surgery now - plus they are doing some exploratory surgery to try to locate a blockage that has come about since my last post.

Not to mention that I have to go off my RA meds this week coming (the week before my surgery) - I dread the pain that is sure to come my way with out any meds - I honestly do not know I will make it thru, but I will some how some way.

Thanks.
