For Interstitial Cystitis and Ostomy Patients: We are leaving for NYC tonight and driving half way.

We are leaving for NYC tonight and driving half way.

I have my pain management appointment today at 8:30 AM. Then I will come home and start packing for NYC. We are leaving late tonight, driving half way, and then stopping at a hotel in the middle and sleeping. Then we'll head out Thursday morning and finish the trip. I see my surgeon on Friday the 16TH to have the urostomy tube and temporary external pouch removed. Then I will learn how to catheterize myself. We will come home Saturday. I hope my trip is safe and quick. I want this over with NOW.

Name: Karalynnree

I have a psychology BA 3.9 average. I love to help people in any way I can. I have been permanently disabled due to a horrendous disease called Interstitial Cystitis. My story starts here http://www.ic-network.com/patientstories/kara.html but it does not end yet. I had to have a complete continent urinary diversion and urethrectomy and the problems still keep rolling my way. Some of it you can catch in my blog some of it can be caught on the ICN under Bladder Removal. I try to educate when I can regarding what I am going through and I try to learn as much as I can along the way. I am a stay at home wife with a wonderful Husband who works hard all day to support and then come home and take care of me. I have two Maine Coons and a Bunny that is 10 years old. I've been married for 5 years but have been with him for a total of 14 years. We are a team and I would not be able to do it without him. We can't have kids so we just have each other and our pets. Once I get my health on track if that ever happens, I plan on going back to college to get my therapy degree or to go on and become a professor of psychology.
