Ok, so usually I go to the bathroom from anywhere between 30 minutes and two hours. Generally it is an hour. Throughout the day there may be thirty minute segments where I have to go, or sometimes it will stretch to an hour and a half if it has to. But typically in an hour on the dot I have to pee and can't hold it anymore. Every now and then a few hours pass by and I realize I just held my bladder for more than an hour and am in disbelief...
I try not to count because I feel like that will stress me out, and since my schedule and environment is not super stressful right now I just tell myself, ok well if you have to pee every thrity minutes at least you have a lovely place to do it!
So today, I didn't pee for THREE HOURS! I think this has probably happened before but I didn't actually keep track of the time so I wouldn't have believed it... but I know because I had a tutoring session that lasted two hours, and I peed 30 minutes before it started and got home thirty minutes after it ended.
But I'm wondering if it counts. I didn't have to URGENTLY pee, but at any given point during those three hours I know that I could have peed. The pressure in my bladder was not AWFUL but it was present. When I'm active I can forget about it. I don't feel like I have to cross my legs or sit on my feet in order to not pee in my pants (which has TOTALLY been the case before). So does this count? When we say we can't hold it for more than a certain amount of time are we saying I can't hold it because the urgency is so intense that it feels like I will honestly pee in my pants, or are we saying yeah, we could pee every thirty minutes but if we had to we could hold it? I ask because there have certainly been times when I COULD NOT hold it and three hours would just not have happened becasue the urgency would be so intense.
I want to believe that this is an AWESOME sign. What do you think? I've honestly been feeling kind of stagnant lately in terms of progress... so I was hoping this would be my little ray of light.
Love you all so much.
be well

I think it's a great sign.
I think it's a great sign. That's how it pretty much was for me!
