Walt's Return

Hi Doc,

Glad you're back! I got the flu for almost the exact same duration of time, about ten days. I hope you're feeling better and on some level "enjoyed" just laying around and not being obligated to anything.

Did you take care of everything naturally? I broke down and got antibiotics from my mom's dr., because things were getting pretty bad. I think it was the right thing to do.

As for the urethral syndrome, I am continuing to improve. There is still the frequency, but on the pain scale I've moved from about a "9" to a "4" in less than five months. I did locate that picture of the levator ani in a Gray's Anatomy book here at the library where I work, and though the picture wasn't terribly understandable, I did grasp how the vaginal pain would result from that tension.
I also see how relaxing the pelvic floor (which I am also doing in my yoga classes) helps repair things. Did you know that yoga works for this too? It's wonderful...

I know I'm going to be completely healed, and most importantly have learned that I AM already healed, on the spiritual level, and WHOLE, even now, even when it's hard, and even as I am going through the pain.

Your friend,
Elizabeth
