Journal entry by Bonnie Gipson —
I finally found how to post updates on this site. Yesterday, at Dr. Ternent's office I was so glad that I did not have to "stand on my head" for the "squeeze" test. Basically my bowels aren't telling me when I need to eliminate. Of course the Dr. used doctor terms in the diagnosis. Dr Ternent recommended pelvic floor therapy. I had this type of therapy in 2018 but apparently this therapy will be to help my bowels tell me when I need to go. I am also glad that the dr. did use thethe word "surgery".
