Can I share a praise? (there is some bodily functions mentioned tho)
For 2 weeks after the surgery I had to remove cervical cancer, I had lost the feeling in my bladder. After the first week they removed the catheter and I could not feel a thing. I begged for a chance and drank about a liter of fluid and could not feel it at all and also could not urinate it out.
It really freaked me out to say the least.
I asked for prayer at our local church and went back a week later to try again.
This time was much better, but not perfect.
I began to cry... I already feel a struggle in fighting a disease, but the bladder stuff was making it worse.
The doctor was in surgery, happened to call in while I was there and suggested I self catheter a few times a day to be sure I did not get soem serious kidney issues.
So i learned to self cath and went home.
But the self cathing made me bleed and I absolutely lost it. I ran down the street crying trying to understand what I must do.
Dh ran after me, brought me home and put me to bed and said, hun everything is gonna be alright.
I am thinking yeah, your not the one bleeding and not peeing right, but I did go to sleep.
The next day I had an appt with my doc (for many things-not just this)so we discussed the issue and he told me to only cath once a day if I felt i should empty more.
So I went home and worked on urinating all day. I stopped by the church and shared the story and asked them to put it on the prayer list. I was sore and needed this to work!
The next morning I woke up and felt pregnant. I was so full and not peeing it out. So I self cath and sure enough I began to bleed.
I figured I better go back to the dr. So I enjoyed a couple cups of coffee and plenty of water adn took a shower (cuz you dont go to the doc voluntarily without one-lol)
And in the shower I got into an all 4's position and let the water run on me and focused on urinating. And I was able to 4 times!
After the shower I decided to take a walk before heading to the doc.
So dh and I walked and I got home and had to pee....and a littel while later I did...and soon I was feeling good, not full and urinating almost like normal.
So I decided to keep asking God to help and HE DID!
It has been almost a week.....things aren't perfect, but getting close.
I dont know if it is coincidence that things kind of broke loose the day after I was added to the prayer list, but I still have to say THANK YOU GOD!
