And She's Off....

Tomorrow it all starts. I am going to a new urologist. Haven't been to one since before my youngest son was born. He's almost 3. Actually, it was a year before he was born so it's been a while. I always get so nervous before I go the doctor when I'm not actually "sick". Although truth be told, the last time I went to the urologist he told me about Prelief and that has been my savior so many times since then. It's just that all these doubts come creeping into my head, like maybe he's going to tell me all this bad news.

I thought I was getting an out tonight when my youngest developed a fever. But my husband, wonderful, considerate and practical man that he is, reminded me that it took me almost 2 months to get this appointment. He also assured me that if our son's fever still continued tomorrow he would figure out some way to stay home from work and watch him. I do have a babysitter lined up, but she has two children at home with her and I wouldn't feel comfortable taking a possibly sick child over to her house and then one/both of her children catching something from him.

I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring. If you think of me at 11:00 say a prayer for me. I'm trying to keep my mind off the appointment and am afraid that the closer I get to the time the more nervous I'm going to get. Praying that God will calm my nerves and give me the clarity of mind to tell the doctor what he needs to know to give me the best treatment possible. :)

Writing a blog can be a very narcissistic thing. It's basically you writing about yourself and waiting for people to comment about thoughts that go through your head. Every once in a while I will get on my blogger dashboard and see how many people are viewing my blog and when there is a spike in those views occurring. Today when I viewed my dashboard I saw that not only have people close to me viewed the page, but also somebody in Alaska and in the United Kingdom! That floored and humbled me. I have always said my goal in writing this blog is to educate people about my IC and hopefully encourage them in the process. Well, you all have just encouraged me. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to read my thoughts. It is appreciated.
