Sick kid....sick kid.....

In the morning, I'm going to the hospital (again) for a procedure. As I've mentioned before, I'm a sick kid. One of the conditions that I have is called Interstitial Cystitis. Basically, the lining in my bladder is stiff. It doesn't stretch the way that it should. Instead, mine tears. (If you're interested, here's a link to the Mayo Clinic's section on IC http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/interstitial-cystitis/DS00497). I take medication, which helps, and see a physical therapist several times a week. I had to stop working outside the home, and have become the public restroom expert among everyone I know. :) I've also tried several treatments. Some have helped, some haven't. In the morning, I am having botox injected into my bladder. The idea is basically that the botox will block the sensory nerves in the bladder so that I won't be in so much pain all of the time. It's a fairly new procedure, and from what I can tell, the recovery is rough. So, basically, if I'm MIA for a bit, I haven't run away. I'm probably just resting..... Don't worry, though, I'll be back as soon as my husband says I can..... :)
