Life is total craziness right now but its in a good way

I have been totally busy latley but it is good for the most part besides im exhausted haha. I started pelvic floor pt on October 8rth the first appointment was just a get to know each other appointment with my primary pt and thursday was the second meeting where they did some of the work . My pelvic floor is really tight so hopefully pt will help with some of the pain 
My niece started kindergarten this fall and she isnt a huge fan of school especially with all the medical things going on with dad and the stroke. dad is making progress he has speech coming back to him slow but sure some days are better than others still but at least we have him with us. I have a new nephew who i have been spendign alot of tiem with the past two weeks hard to believe i am an auntie to three now wow never dreamed id have one Im one lucky auntie. I think that is about it for today just giving an update hope you are all doing well

gyn update

Had another appointmetn with my gyn. She said that hysterectomy is not off the table for me yet but she is hoping to avoid it and hoping that the physical therapy will help with the pelvic pain. she said that if the PT does not help the next step is choropractor but that i need to do the pelvic pt first so that there is not a ton going on with my body at once. Pelvic pt is a huge uncharted territory for me so I am a bit nervous on this note but i guess this whole adbenture of living with endometriosis and IC is uncharted too.
She said that the fact hat my cycles are more regular is a good thing I am not so sure with that haha but I guess I have to take it as god news. I got my flu shot yesterday as well so I am feeling kind of icky today they say its fact that you cant get sick from a flu shot but every year that i get one i feel crapy for a few days afterward. I think that is about it for this post just taking life on day at a tie right now thursday is my second physical therapy appointment for my pelvis not sure how much detail ill be sharing on that over the blog lol but i will definately keep general updates comming and let you all know how it is working or not working  I will be going for at least six weeks the pt wants eight but insurance is only willing to cover six which is more than two like it would have been a year ago so i have no complaints

finally got the brace and shoes figured out

I called the orthotics place again yesterday and finally dug all the way to the bottom of what the mystery was. I knew the shoes i had ordered were on backorder but they did not give a time frame of how long the first tiem i called and said they would call back in a week or so and update well I didnt gear anythign so I called and they told me the shoes would not be shipped until mid november because they are made overseas and they are turnign away truckloads of them because of factory defects or poor quality I was like well change them to a different shoe I am not waiting until novemver that is when my orthopedic appointment is  so I am getting my brace and shoes on tuesday after a two month wait so ready for them thats for sure I will post pics of teh new brace and shoes  when i get to take some

update on everything

I am suposed to have my first pt appointment monday but not sure that can happen as i am having a bleed which for the endometriosis front is not good we were hoping that the IUD would stop my bleeds thus cut down on my pain level but so far that has not happened the good news is at least my cycles are becoming fairly predictable on the maraina. Dad is doing well he will be more than likley going into out patient rehab soon where they specialize in neuro rehab it is the same place he was in after his stroke but he will be out patient which means he gets to come home to us after his therapy appointmetns yay for that. the brace and shoes are another story in and of themselves still do not have them have not heard when they will be ready I am walking without a boot because it was starting to hurt my foot to be in the boot but it isnt too much better with just the shoes but its tollerable for now I kind of feel tightening going on in the ankle again so when i go bakc in november i may ask for some pt on my foot depending on what the pelvic pt brings me I am not sure how long this will be needed so we will see how it goes hugs to all who read my blog

Urology update

had my appointment yesterday they did the cystoscopy proceedure where they use a scope to look into the bladder. good news the iner surface of the bladder looks prestine bad news is he feels the pain is nerve related and I need pelvic pt. Kind of afraid that the pain will continue to return.
