Hi! My name is Hope and I’m just a normal 26 year old living my life to the best of my ability. I suffer daily with a chronic illness but still try my best to find hope even on my worst days. Holding on to hope is super important no matter where you find yourself today. I want my videos to portray who I am in real life. I promise to be open, honest, and vulnerable about my health/faith journey because my hope is that it might help give hope to someone else. I have really good days and really bad days just like everyone else but I hold on to my faith to get me through. I hope you enjoy following my journey!

I'm so curious what you wore after surgery that didn't tug or pinch? Your journey is so helpful, thank you for sharing
What is the highest post void residual you ever had in a bladder scan?
thet diagnosed you with a neurogenic bladder? this is due to nerve or muscle?
They diagnosed with neurogenic bladder most likely due to nerve but they aren’t 100% sure what’s causing it.
@@HopeTempleman I think this is my moms problem is a nerve issue, she can void but always has a 200ml residual that needs to come out with a catheter. Was your nerve damage due to a surgery? do you know if is a muscle problem will interstim work as well?
I just had stage 1 done on the 12th and am afraid to do stage 2 because I’m in pain and they made a 2in cut on my right butt cheek.
I’m 17 and I got Stage 1 done the 7th did you get stage 2 yet how long did it take?
I’m getting stage 2 the 21st
Stage 1 wasn’t fun but it’s 100% worth to follow through and get the 2nd stage done. The pain does improve very quickly with time.
Can you say you are peeing like a normal person after interstim ?
Yes it took some adjustment but that’s the great part is that there a multiple settings and programs to work with. Since it was put in, I rarely get a UTI and haven’t used one catheter.
Did it worked for you for urine retention my urodinamic test Sayed my esphinter doesn't relax properly I don't know if it's the same with you. Thank you
It was a life saver for me and still works amazing over a year later! I don’t exactly remember what my urodynamics test showed except I literally wasn’t emptying at all. I would always end up in the hospital when I had even a simple UTI because it would lead straight to sepsis. Since the InterStim, I rarely get a UTI and can go with no issues!
Hi hope thank you for your vidio. My urologist suggested me the interstim and I am kind of sad and scared about it.
I know it’s scary. I was scared too but knowing it might help me live a better more normal life, is what really made me go for it. Best decision ever.
@hope templman pls reply
And after 1 years improvement or not?
It’s now been 2 years and it’s still working very well just having to adjust the programs every so often but otherwise it’s been great! I don’t get UTI’s anymore which has been amazing!
How much it cost?
That totally depends on insurance you just have to check with the hospital you’ll have it done with and they give you an estimate
Can you please let me know how this has worked for your retention
Yes so it’s been almost a full year since I’ve had the actual InterStim in place. It did take me a few months to get the right setting but now it works great. I still get some UTI’s but not nearly the amount I was getting because now I don’t have to self-cath anymore 🙌 I’m so happy with it and mine will stay in place for 15 years!
@@HopeTempleman so glad to hear. Does it bother you or can you live a normal life, like laying on your back, wearing bikinis without it showing?
Can you please let me know how the device is working for you?
It’s honestly working amazing for me and it’s been in for almost a full year! I got the rechargeable InterStim battery so it’s thankfully good for 15 years. It’s literally been a lifesaver for me!!
Results in percentage pls
How has the interstim been going for you?
It’s been great!! True lifesaver for me and I got the rechargeable InterStim battery so it’s good for 15 years 🙌 So worth it and still working wonders.
@@HopeTempleman Hi my mom is 69 and now using 6 catheters a day and lots of Utis she is on antibiotics evry day. Where did you have this done? Are you still doing okay with you implant? No issues?
@@andrecancol that used to be me. I was constantly hospitalized for UTI’s that quickly became serious infections requiring IV antibiotics. I had this done at a hospital I live close to in Charleston, SC. It was life changing for me and my quality of life has definitely improved drastically since having it put in. It took some adjustment the first 6 months because you have to figure out which program works best for you. But even in that time period I was still peeing like normal and once we got it figured out I haven’t used a single catheter. I rarely get a UTI which is incredible. I do recommend looking into it, it’s very expensive but it has 100% been worth it for me!
@@HopeTempleman thank you so much for your reply. How long have you had it? Do you know approximately how much it costs?. Would you mind sharing what kind/reference of implant you have ,is it rechagable? I know there are different types of this implant just wondering which one you have? Do you mind sharing the urologist name please? My sister lives in Georgia Atlanta so we might go to USA to get it done. We live in Canada we have public/government funded health care here so it is imposible to get a private urologist to do it here, there is only one that can do it but waiting is about 2 years. My mom was normal up until August of this year after her pelvic surgery reconstruction she was left with 6 catheters a day, many UTIs she is on antibiotics every single day. Any more information you can provide much appreciated hospital name and urologist name. I want to make sure she gets a very good urologist do to this procedure.
@@HopeTempleman Did you get Medtronic Interstim or Artisan Axonics? Whisky reference please I know you said it is recargable once a month but what is the name because I think there is one that is not recargable
Like your positivity, I go in for my test tomorrow. Hope it goes as well as yours. Mine is for OAB.
Hope it was successful for you!
