Well I am back to work and attempting to get my self back in order: sleep schedule, proper eating, exercise, and making some plans with friends.
I have a huge event coming up on January 11-13th, which I am not fully prepared for and I have to hope I can get through.
I cancelled my weekly appointment yesterday, because I just could not handle sitting in a car for 4 hours after that 9+ hour drive home Wednesday. It hurt me and I needed the treatment but I just could not do it, seriously though, my bladder really hates me.
What I did was went and picked up some supplies for my Empi unit to use to help calm my pain and spoke with my physical therapist that I will end up coming back for some treatments most likely here in the next month or so. I have a feeling I am going to need her at points. It was good to catch up with her and let her know how I was doing since I have not seen her since before my surgery.
Today I am trying to get some brackets done and listening to Les Miserables as I work. I am planning to see the movie this weekend.
Well time to get back to work I guess.
This blog details my diagnosis of IC and severe chronic pelvic pain. Thoughts outlined here are my own and these experiences are how I am coping with and learning to live with my diagnosis.

Recovery
Well my three weeks off of work has come to an end. Even though I did spend most of it sitting at home working. I am not sure how my body is going to hold up with everything just yet, but tomorrow I go back to work and on Tuesday I start my water PT,
I am both concerned and worried at the same time, I am not sure how I will be able to handle a 9 hour work day when I can hardly do most things for more than a few hours of going out, but I have to try.
The odd thing is the most I have slept since the surgery, and for as long as I can remember before has been the past two nights where I was actually in bed for 12 hours each, plus a nap today. That was a glorious feeling to not feel exhausted, but I still wake up with no energy.
All of this is just another thing to get through. My incisions are healing, they still hurt but they are healing which is good. I feel like this has been quite a trial in this journey, quite possibly the worst one yet.
All I can do is keep on taking it day by day.
