Thank you all for Sharing you experience.So many good folks here. I did
go to ER yesterday as nighttime call to PCP and Am call to uero/gyn went
unanswered. After voiding
what i could,they still cathed 500cc plus.( by nurse Rachet). It never
really bothered me to be cathed before but OUCH! ER doc
said no infection. Did I want to go home with cath....yum,no. I felt
so much better as soon as they started.He had me take off patch as he
could not think of
anything else that would cause this. I asked if adhesions could, he
said Nah.
I went to uero/gyn last spring where they said I did have nerve damage
can't really tell when I'm full and go at regular intervals) and a
mild voiding disorder. I am going to get hold of him today somehow and
ask his advice as well. My PCP did not think this was alot of urine to
retain...they sure did in ER.Boy I sure did too. He said there are meds
to help stimulate contractions but lets try to get it going naturally.
He does not think it is the patch either
and to;d me I could put it back on today but I will talk to euro gyn
first.
Dear Jo, it's been water i've been chugging. My challenge was after
drinking two big glasses of h2o if two big glasses of coffee didn't get
things moving the off I go.
I have not pooped since the big bang either, oh god, will this ever
end???
And I wish the heck it would stop snowing around here for a day or two
as well
Love you all,
Dawn
