Benign!

Dianne and I met with my doc today to discuss the multitude of medical issues I seem to be having with my life these days; particularly all the questions we have had around the “cathing experience.” Dianne had developed a list of great questions as well as data we have generated keeping all the information about times of cathng, amount of urine drained and description of the produced urine.

My appointment was for 0915 so I decided to take the morning off of work do my appointment then have Dianne drop me off at the office when we finished. We got to the university good time and checked into medical clinic I was going and soon enough we met with Katia who is my doc, really she is not a physician, but one of the PRNs who works with the “big” doc and she acts like a doc , does the doc talk and walk so she is my doc and she is as good a doc as I have every had. Katia, listens, really listens and spends huge amounts of time with Dianne ad myself, being patient and allowing Dianne and me discuss a question Katia might have asked until we can come some kind of conclusion. Katia make suggestions and allows me enough psychological to wrap my head around a concept to at least try what she has asked and report back the results.

Today was great Katia reported back on the conclusion of the bladder biopsy, which I had last week—she beamed as she reported that the results of the pathology report was I was just fine—no probably anything that was anything was benign: I was OK. What a relief one thing behind us we closed the door on tat discussion and began the next. It is time for my colonoscopy –its been ten quick years since my last one and she feels I need another—plus I have been having some issues with indigestion the past couple months and could she also do an upper G.I. rest called a GRD? She could and well and set up an appointment for sometime in the latter part of January which to me is all the way into the next year. I am going to take it easy. Tomorrow I have a dental appointment—I need to trade out the temporary crown I had put on a molar last month for the final crown. The appointment is in the morning and hopefully I should have all day and weekend to enjoy my new status of being what ever bladder problem free that it is I am now.

So now, I will start fretting the colonoscopy but not too much since I have already had one ten years ago and I am feeling pretty good. Katia and Dianne has some ideas for me o begin considering and trying out and even though some of the ideas are repulsive I believe the ideas are worth consideration…I am going to be fine…for now.
