Question Re: "stuff" in urine today

Thanks Kara

It's my Birthday Today~ yay. I'm like a little kid...I still think everybody should know and send me bright packages they make me happy. But I will swap for a little nap on this gorgeous spring afternoon (it is never nice on my birthday...I'd lay on the grass but my eyes would swell and I'd be pretty for tonight) I told my husband and girls that instead of going out tonight, I want them to Plan and prepare my birthday dinner instead of the same ol same ol Olive Garden, Chevy's, Red robin...blah, blah. My Husband never makes dinner but that is not due to lack of skill. He is a very creative man. My youngest is whining about it. Wants to go out and eat an adult meal even though she eats like me. We waste a lot of money on our birthday dinners. My main reason for wanting them to make me dinner was to work as a family (And focus on me for Pete's sake) but also, we've had 4 birthdays in the past 6 weeks, each one with dinners for 60-80 bucks. The last one I just grabbed the check and paid it while my husband was in the bathroom. He was very happy. (we have a joint account for bills and 2 seperate accounts for our own "stuff")

I'm interested in my dinner...hmm. Should be an interesting experience. Anyway, I think I may be finally getting my weekend away with him. (anyone who knows my frustration with my husband) I asked him last night if we could do something on Friday night and he got a smirk and said "maybe...." We shall see.....:woohoo: or or

Take care...my head keeps falling forward

Tracey,

I am glad to hear that the bleeding stopped. I understand how scary that must have been.

Praying for more restful, painfree, days ahead!

so far things have settled down has settled down in terms of bleeding...I am sore though. And feel blah. but I think that's my mood. Different story. Thank goodness the two days of bleeding are over...it's a bit disconcerting to see blood clumps every time you pee. I must be sore b/c It has to heal in there. I just wonder what triggered the whole thing.

Tracey,

I hope you feel better over the weekend and won't need the in office cysto. Keep in mind the antibiotic that you are taking may not cover all of the possible infections that you could have. It's best to have your doctor oversee this and prescribe antibiotics. It can take several days after an antibiotic has been taken to see an infection. You could ask your doctor what you can do the next time something like that happens. They may take a urine culture and put you on antibiotics while you wait for the results that can take 48-72 hours to come back from the lab. After the results come back then they may switch antibiotics.

I hope by now you are feeling better.

I called my uro this morning and described the "stuff" to her..my temp is normal and I've put myself on the anti biotics...last night the discomfort has continued, however the blood clumps have gone away...and i know it isn't just from one antibiotic pill...(of the 28 I need to take) so it must be some new thing I haven't experienced before...I know I am so darn used to te same thing over and over and over that I know anything unusual like this is going to freak me out. Have any of you ever had any thing like this happen? Does it mean like more damage in my bladder..? My uro sorta waffled on this and said she would like to see how I feel in a week and if the pain is still there "take a peek"...Oh Goody. I love in office cysto's. "sigh". Oh well...

I gotta shower and run an errand, yes life does go on, ain't it a ***** when your bladder is sloughing off? Ha, ha... anyway...I hope I don't spend Monday with a scope in my urethra...it's my birthday and I can't think of ANYTHING I really don't want to do less. (grumble) 42years and I feel like I;m 90...although I don't know what a 90 year feels like, ha! Hmm..I feel twice my age...not such a big deal when I was 10 and I could say that.

I agree with the others, please call and get yourself to the doctors. Let us know how you are doing.

[MakinIT]

Yeah...duh..I'm so stoopid..I should remember by now...I have a standing order for antibiotics b/c I get infections after instillations...which I never do now but I still have the order, and have almost a whole order so I'll reorder and call the doc. It's not just spots of blood..wierd..reminds me of when I miscarrried (after the worst was over) just pieces of tissue , maybe that's why I can't pee easily...(talk about sitting on the toilet and getting frustrated..) I don't have a clue as to why it's doing this all the sudden..grr..I'm too the point with my body that nothing is surprising to me. I could have an alien baby pop out and it wouldn't freak me out..

It does sound like you could have an infection --- I agree you need to see your doctor.

Yes, sorry, concur with the above posts. I definitely understand the wanting to avoid doctors, but I think you might need one... And hey, they might even be helpful! Sad, but IC has made it that I'm pleasantly surprised when medicine works for me.
Hang in there,
sending a hug & hoping you are feeling better soon!

[littlemyrn]

That is not normal. Please call your Dr., I am sure they would want to see you. Take Care of Yourself and let us know what happens.

[Judith56]

I agree that you should call your uro- it may be an infection.

[GriffsMommy]

Sorry you're having such a hard time. Personally if I had blood coming out in clumps in my urine you couldn't get me to call the uro fast enough. I would at least call in the morning and talk to the nurse and see what they say. Probably going to want you to come in and at least do a culture. Let us know what happens.

Hi guys

well, share all, share alike... this is kinda gross but I need to ask... My bladder has been cantankerous lately, very much in pain. I thought it was because I was trying to back off of my morphine. I dropped down 30 mgs (from 270 to 240) in 2 1/2 weeks so I upped it again...Well pain is still bad, and I noticed this afternoon when I peed that I had clumps of blood in it. I had a vision of being on my period before I remembered I was Uterusless. This has happened twice now with about 3 or 4 clmps of blood. So...should I be like, calling my Uro? I reaally am sick of doc's and just want it to go away

Thanks
