Things are Looking Up?

Happy fall! Tomorrow begins the first day of October and I've got my boots on at work today.

Bryan started his new job at Integris last week and is loving it so far. And... the IC emergency diet seems to be helping. I think the combination of medications, rest, stress management and the diet are all working together to help improve my condition. I've had multiple days for the last two weeks where my pain level was low enough that I didn't need any pain meds. That's a huge improvement when you consider that I have needed them daily for the last nine months!

I'm getting cautiously optimistic again... I thank God for every good day I've had and hope that I will have more and more of them in a row. Next week, I get to start reintegrating some trouble foods back into my diet to see how my bladder responds. Still no real coffee, but that's okay.

I can do this.
