Hi all. Did my test for clearance, heart is strong enough to do surgery.   I am found with blood in my bladder and earlier had urine test again and learned my kidneys are also having issues.  The CT Scan is to see what they find in both the bladder and kidneys and possibly the liver.  I bleed now from the vaginal and bladder and maybe to include the kidneys.  I am now very very weak and my preference is to be home with the Lord at this stage.  I am home most all the time and much on my bed.  I cannot tolerate much food, only soft foods and very little at that.  My fight is near gone and my gut hurts daily now and also feels like a pebble in the vaginal area especially when lying down on the bed or sit in a chair.  I am too tired to walk any true distance.  I have asked the Lord for to go home or healing that provides some years as I am only seeing a month or two then back to being very sick once again.  This has been ongoing for over 5 yrs and am exhausted. Weekly I take a bit of time to read the posts as much as able and so appreciate each of you.  Thank you for your hard work in the Lord.  Below is how my month looks like.    Always appreciate your prayers.

Love in Christ,

Sister Patty Hayes

Now on to med update from today. (Monday) I went to see Urogynecologist. Dr, said I do have blood in my Bladder. I do find tiny drops of blood on my diaper. She will join in if can with my Gyn Doc on my surgery date 7/27 where I will have DNC, vaginal, cervical biopsies done. At that time I will have the Uro Doc look internally at my bladder and also install a Pacemaker to slow down and do correction on my incontinence to attempt to make life a little more comfortable for me.  This is not a heart pacemaker, this is on the hip to slow down my incontinence.

This next Monday, I will see my former surgeon, ENT in Irvine who removed my Thyroid due to cancer as I have several hard cysts on my back and sides of my neck.

I am feeling much weaker and my normal fight and humor is much depleted. My faith in the Lord is still strong but can become emotional at times due to being so tired now. The heat is also wearing hard on me and would welcome an oscillating fan to blow directly on me and am needing to get some hand towels to wet and use at night to keep my body cooled down. This is the most difficult time of the year for me when not feel well. Would also appreciate continued prayers. Thank you!!!

PS.  Got call from Doc office said I am to come in this Friday to run several tests to see if qualify for surgery.  I told them I thought that was next week Friday, they said that was paperwork only, this week is tests.  At this stage, I am so extreme exhausted and if they ran it today, no way I could pass. Glad I have a few days to increase strength to withstand tests Friday.
