Default Update!

And the results are in......

Well, I don't have a high pressure bladder, which is the good news. The bad news is, I don't have a functioning bladder either. The bladder does nto contract at all when I go, so when i go, i am relying solely on my abs/pelvic muscles.

Nothing he can do about it, doesn't think it is a crushed nerve now he thinks it is from one of the many holes in my spine, which of course we cannot fix with surgery. And he wants me to self cath at least once a week to drain it completely to try to prevent it from effecting my kidneys!

I get to go back friday to learn how to do the cath.

It's officially being diagnosed as yet another MS problem.
