Feeling sick, blue and need to be rescued!

Hello everyone.
Wednesday, I was doubled over in pain.
It was a horrible day. One I will never forget.
I have female issues in addition to having I.C.
Sometimes, It's tough to understand why I am suffering so much, without relief.
But, then I think of all the people out there in the world who are suffering; some worse than me.
This is my inspiration to keep going.
It lifts me up to read and listen to others who have chronic pain, or have something else very debilitating.
Today, my pain has lessened since then, and I'm able to cope with it better.

My physical therapist would like to continue to see me and work with my
bladder.
She feels that she will be able to help me improve my symptoms
considerably before a surgery is performed.
She is very informative about I.C. and chronic pelvic pain.
So, needless to say, surgery will be postponed until further notice.
Please continue to pray for me as I'm continually searching for answers.
I will pray for all of you who have I.C. as well.
The Good Lord knows who all of you are.
