I had a cystogram on July 5th. My bladder was filled to capacity with contrast and then x-rays were performed. No signs of leaking were visible, what a relief!
My doctor's words of advice to me were "You are sealed, you're not healed" so I've spent the last couple weeks laying on the couch, doing very very little. I still have an 8lb weight limit. Which means I can't lift anything heavier than a gallon of milk. This limitation was especially frustrating when my "4 gallon" 2 year old got strep throat and just wanted to be cuddled and carried every where. Thank goodness daddy was able to take the day off work and take care of him.
The incision is healing up nicely. While I'm still not thrilled about the "x marks the spot" pattern of scars I have going on now, I'm glad to see this looks like it will be a very small scar.
Pain is pretty minimal at this point. If I'm up moving around for more than about 30 minutes I start to feel sore. And I get pretty tired after about 2 hours of activity. But it's all manageable with rest, ice and occasionally half a vicodin.
My next check up is in a couple weeks, and hopefully I'll be cleared to go back to work at that point.
