Last night Hubs told me he would be working from home today. I was to sleep in and get lots of rest so I could start feeling better. By dinner time last night I was in pretty major pain in my bladder. As soon as dinner was over I went and soaked in a hot bath with jets for about 1 1/2 hours. It helped, but only while I stayed there. The pain makes it very difficult to walk, move, and do all those little mothering things I want to do.
Bless his heart. I slept (or at least stayed in bed) until noon today! I even called my urologist and managed to get an appointment for Monday morning. Hopefully there will be something the urologist can do that will help ease this pain. My right kidney has been bothering me for several months. I wonder if there's a stone in there again. I don't think it's an infection, but I'm sure they'll test and culture to make sure.
This round of pain isn't as severe as some are. I am able to avoid the pain by sitting still and putting something warm (wish I could find my heating pad) over my bladder. Even just sliding down and holding my laptop on my lap helps a little. I wish I wasn't running to pee three times as often as usual. The getting up is as obnoxious as the peeing, since it hurts to get up and walk. But seeing how life with IC is for many women (and the occasional man) I know I don't have it as bad as I could. Not even halfway. For that, I am grateful.
