Sorry for the Delay

Sorry for not updating this since November. My husband and I have been working over-time on a special project, soon to be revealed. I don't have much to report in terms of progress, no better, no worse. My GYN that performed my laporoscopy 2 years ago wondered why I get so many UTIs and yeast infection so she had me take a fasting glucose test to check my blood sugar. Everything came back normal, so I guess that's good news. I began seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist a few weeks ago. I had gone to her last year before my wedding and she was helpful. I know I have a lot of pelvic floor issues so I decided it was time to go back to her. So far, so good. She reallly cares about her work and about helping her patients. Hopefully, this will yield some improvements in my symptoms. The acupuncture treatments have been put on hold until after the holidays. I am going to the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine so they take a break through the holidays. Right now, I am just trying to figure out my meals for the holidays so I can feel somewhat like a normal person. My husband and I will be travelling to my parents house in Minnesota. My mom is very accommodating to my strange and ever-changing diets. She makes whatever I ask, so that makes my life much easier! I know not everyone suffering with IC has parents that understand how difficult and how REAL this is. I am truly blessed to be able to say that I do. After Christmas, I will concentrate on trying to come up with a new "plan of attack" for 2008 to improve my symptoms and get on with my life. For now, I am just trying to enjoy the upcoming holiday with my family.
