I can’t think of a lot that happened in the past month, but that may be because I’m still focused on my surgery recovery, so we’ll have to see if I have to send out an update to the update again this month.
As my update to
last month’s update said, I am recovering from my surgery and doing pretty well
really. The pain is no big deal at this point. I’m not taking any
pain meds anymore, and I only feel quite minor pain and only
occasionally. The bigger issue, without getting too graphic, is the
recovery of my bodily control. From all I’ve read, that can take a year
or more, so I’ve only begun that process. I am seeing some progress,
however, even if it’s only a little.
My urologist
and surgeon, Dr. Bloom, referred me for PT for my pelvic floor to try to help
with this situation. I found out that there are very few PTs in my area
that will do pelvic floor therapy for men. And we’re currently waiting to
see how my insurance will process the claims. None of the three places
that do this therapy showed up in my “in network” providers for my insurance,
but the place I chose, although the business name doesn’t show up, several of
the therapists do show as in network. So, we’re not sure if they’ll
process it in network or out. Please pray with us that insurance covers
it in network.
We celebrated
the mother of my children on Mothers’ Day with gifts and cards. Hannah
and Kevin invited us over to share in their Mothers’ Day brunch that Kevin
made, and it was delicious! Bacon, two kinds of sausage, eggs, fruit,
pastries, and potatoes. Yummy! It wasn’t a very warm day, but it
was sunny, and sitting on their back deck with the sun bouncing off their
house, it felt wonderful.
I think that’s
it, so I’ll stop there. Thanks again for all your prayers for me!
