Crazy Week - Surgery Options and Husband Hospitalized Unexpectedly

Last Week: (Please read until the end, thank you <3) Monday: Met my new Urologist, who was AMAZING. Gave me three options, two of which include surgery and I need to decide by my appointment next month which method of surgery I choose.

He also gave me several information packets on suggestions of what my next steps should be, including: Interstim , Botox , and also one where a nerve in my ankle would be stimulated. Of course each comes with their own pro and con. I go back in one month to see if any changes have helped from the Prelief and what I choose as my next treatment option.
