I have no idea what this is, got the call from the hospital yesterday, apparently i was referred after my last laproscopy. I do have problems in this area, so i guess i'll go and find out.

Wednesday, March 18th

If you've got a weak bladder Kegel exercises are very good for strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. So just thought I'd share Big Grin

I hope the appointment helps

Well first appointment was today - There's 2 hours of my life i won't get back. Boring. Bunch of the same questions over and over. I have to keep a output/input diary for 3 days running, each week and go back in a fortnight. (it was suppose to be a week but i have another appointment). I'm suppose to stop drinking caffeine - i only drink tea - i need my tea, so i said i'd cut back, What would life be without a cuppa ? Apparently i'm booked each Wednesday for as long as it takes - Rolls Eyes

I don't have that much of a problem, I'll give it another few goes, if it doesn't get more interesting, i'll take a pillow. Next visit is exercises.
Of course if the normally 15 minute trip there, hadn't taken 45 minutes and then 25 minutes trying to get a carpark, i might have been in a better mood. Took over an hour to get home too. (roadworks and gridlock)

No cuppa's are they mad :crazy2 lol
What is it about caffeine and bladder issues ? I know they're a diuretic but curious any other reason ?

City traffic is enough to send anyway into a state of rage aggressive

but I'm glad you went just to see what's involved.
Did they give you any literature on exercises you can do at home ?
Either way I hope you gained something from it, if not that's ok too Big Grin

at least you gave it a shot .

yep, anythings worth a shot. I had lots of problems before i had my gallbladder out, Nothing worries me now, but they reckon i pee too much and i have a large bladder so i should pee less. They also said i drink too much (liquid), Can you see a pattern ? lol

Took me an hour and 25 mins to get there yesterday, and an hour to get home. They are doing something at a major roundabout, won't be finished to late April.

I've been naughty and cancelling appiontments. Well kinda. She was sick once, another time i didn't actually get the appointment letter till after the date, and this week i cancelled because they called with a cancellation for a MRI on my back. So maybe next week....
I know i'm getting checked to see how well i can do my 'exercises' - oh the joy
