I know I probably made a few heads spin b/c of all the details. in case you
haven't noticed i am very detail oriented LOL
I am doing better though. The gyn wants me to start up the biofeedback
therapy again so he and the physical therapist were talking. I am just glad
they aren't going to give up on me like everyone else....as far as the
bladder goes.
other than that right now i am fine. i am sure you have seen a post about my
shoulder.....man! if it isn't one thing it is another!!!!!!!!! but i am
better thanks!!!!
