>> "I am supposed to drink 32 oz of water and hold my bladder for hour and half." <<
Yowser!!! An hour and a half? That's brutal for someone with urinary issues!! When I started seeing the doctors for my bedwetting and urge incontinence issues, 1 of the things they wanted me to do was have a CT Scan of my bladder and kidneys. (Actually called a CT Urogram.) They told me to drink 32 ounces one half hour before the scan, and I knew I'd be in trouble with that!!
I wore a night-time thickness disposable diaper to that appointment, and I was about ready to burst before I even got on the scanner table. They did half the scan, then injected a contrast dye, then I had to wait about 15 minutes for the dye to get thru my blood stream and into my kidneys, after which they did the other half of the scan. Well, try as I might, I couldn't hold it and wet my diaper as I was waiting for the dye to get thru me.
After the scan, I admitted to the nurse that I had wet myself, and asked her if doing so would skew the scan results. She said no, and that it's not uncommon for people to wet during the scan. Which makes me think "Why don't they recommend that people wear protection for the test??"

Hello..Snow.I've finished my second operation a week and a half ago and was successful.There is a good probability that I could have nerve damage due to Anklylosing Spondalitis.Before I was diagnosed doctors kept asking me if I was in a car wreck, that's how much damage it did and being in a small town in Ohio Dr's brushed off my complaints because back then I was in my 20's.I was diagnosed when I was 38 years old by a great doctor in Columbus Ohio.
