…about having seen a fair amount of blood in my urine this past Sunday and although I know it very well could be a UTI, the word recurrence does pop into mind.  I saw my surgeon yesterday and we’re waiting on a urine culture, but he’s also had me scheduled for an IVP and then later the same day I’ll have a cystoscope.  The only problem with this is I have to wait because he’s going to be out of town for about a week, and his first opening isn’t until 13 September.  I never thought I’d be upset at having to wait for a cystoscope, especially after the last one (29 Dec 2003).  Reminds me of something I saw printed on a t-shirt somewhere, GOD GIVE ME PATIENCE, AND I WANT IT RIGHT NOW! Saying some prayers for myself these days…
