    Tomorrow is my day!

    My surgery is at 8 a.m. and they said to be there at 6. It's a 90 min. drive so that sucks, but, I don't have to wait all day and I've had really restless sleep the last few nights.

    Last night because of my rolling around I got my catheter tubing all wrapped around me. As I was unraveling it came apart. I put my finger on the catheter quick and didn't have more than a drop spill out. However, I apparently didn't get it re-connected well and 2 hrs. later I awoke to being soaked in a wet nightgown, mattress and sheets etc. UGH. That made doing the Stim seem even more appealing.

    I've had a catheter in full-time for so long. They are going to leave my supra-pubic in the first week and remove it for the next week of the trial.

    I'm so excited because I want to have a normal life again and so terrified it won't work and I don't have any other options than full-time catheterization.

    Well in less than 24 hrs. I'll know something.

    I really appreciate all the information on this site.

                      It's in!! I'm disapppointed that today my Dr. decided I should leave the catheter connected for 24 hrs. Feels like somebody said Sorry Xmas is tomorrow now.

                      I was also really disappointed the Medtronic rep. didn't show. So my Dr. went over the unit and questions between surgeries and I was barely awake. He's supposed to call me tomorrow.

                      I've also read several times that you don't have to feel the unit. But I can really feel mine and the dr. said I always will?? I have a lot of buzzing/vibration feeling on my labia from 12-4 o'clock, and when I turn the unti up my lower left leg buzzes.

                      Can't sit any longer. thanks for the kind wishes.
