Scheduled for a pelvic sonagram today. I showed up 20 minutes early as requested. I drank the requested 36 ounces of water, held in bladder for good imageing. My appt. time was 1:15. I sat in the waiting room for 40 minutes after my scheduled time had come and gone. I had to go to the bathroom. The receptionist said I could go a little, and then replace it with more water. No problem I thought so I went to the lobby bathroom, and couldnt wait to put tp on the seat as I usually do, sat down on a toilet seat drenched with urine, as well as the floor. Painfully I held my bladder as minute by minute passed. I was not seen until 2pm. The pressure from the external sonagram pushing on my bladder was aweful. The technician let me go to the toilet. The receptionist and technician were sympathetic to my long wait and did get me seen. Its now 6:19 at night and I am still going to the bathroom although my last drink of water was at 12:45 and I have a terrible pain now in my abdomen. I recommend that you make sure you will be seen at the scheduled time.
Pros: The technician was quick.
Cons: Im not sure if my bladder is ok yet.
