Question about bladder training

How is your bladder supposed to feel like during bladder training?

For context, I (22F) start feeling the urge to pee right after voiding. I can usually delay my void by 1-3hrs (the void amount after isn't consistent, sitting randomly between 20-150ml), but I still feel the same initial urge consistently or increase during the waiting period. I never reach a "oh I forgot I wanted to pee" moment.

Basically, is that what my bladder is supposed to feel, at least at the beginning of bladder training?

How long did it take you to stop feeling the urge to pee constantly?

Permanent mild urge

I was wondering if anyone else has the same thing?

2 months ago I (22F) suddenly developed a permanent urge to pee. The first two weeks were terrible, like very urgent urges even after I urinated. My streams were slow and weak.

I got tested for UTI and had an ultrasound done, both came back normal.

I have some terrible days, but usually I just feel this very annoying, permanent, mild urge to urinate all the time! I've been trying to take deep breathes, postponing voiding by 1-3hrs, relaxing my pelvic floor, but nothing seems to make a difference. (I don't consume any caffeine or alcohol.)

I'm seeing an urologist soon, as my family doctor thinks I might have OAB but wants a diagnostic before prescribing any meds. She discouraged me from seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist because "I'm young, never given birth, etc." However, I'm still planning on seeing one for an initial assessment in a few months.

Are courses with missing days/timetable unavailable?

First time using the uOttawa system, so I'm a bit confused.

I clicked on "Search by My Requirements," and it gave me a list of courses that may be used to satisfy my requirements. However, all but one is missing information on what days and times those courses will take place.

Does that mean that the course is unavailable? Or does that mean the timetable will be added in later?

Example of recovery for DI

I wish I could provide a more detailed recap of my recovery timeline, but I forgot most of the details and I'm sure many better advices have already been posted on this subreddit. If you want to discuss getting surgery without your parents' knowledge and recovering with friends (couch surfing), feel free to shoot me a message.

I did have a complication 1-2 days after surgery (GrS, Dr Chen Lee): my left nipple (right one in the pictures) was bleeding quite a bit and was soaking through my bandages. I seeked help from the clinic's nurses. I was later transferred to see my surgeon and, he sewed me back up (I dont think it helped and he made me watch (it did hurt), which was really interesting but not for the faint of heart). My nipples/areolas kept bleeding randomly for the next month.
