Hey y’all… Bit more of a wait, I’m afraid…
Ok… so I get a call to be at the doc’s office on Monday at 1:15pm, and I’m set down to wait. After an hour or so, I’m told she’s had an emergency, but, she want’s me to wait, if I can. So? Of course, I do…
When she finally arrives, I’m told that she wants me to look over some paperwork while I wait, and I’m handed a packet of legalese that basically says that I agree that she’s gonna go in for a look-see, and that I agree that she’ll either just look, or it’ll progress all the way to a hysterectomy… Schedule for which is to be announced.
WTF??
When she comes in the room, she’s a little, tho not much-she knows me- surprised that I’ve not signed a single form. And then proceeds to explain what’s going on…
See? Seven years ago, when she couldn’t find a single tumor on any Ultrasound test? When she went in, she found several wrapped around my right ovary. And so she removed it. That was fine, we’d discussed that possibility way back then…
Now? Again? The tests show nothing to worry about, but…
There are six new “fibroid tumors”… And one other, tiny, little… not so small
Thing…
The lining of my uterus — aka the endometrium — is twice as thick as it should be… And given my history with these tests? She wants to get in there and have a look see…
See? I’ve also had some bleeding, 16 months post-menopause… And that’s worrisome, especially combined with the thickening of the lining. Add my family history? And she wants a closer look…
But? Given her schedule? I get to wait til the end of November…
Yay me…
Well… there’s your update for the moment. I’ma crawl in my cave now… Talk at y’all later…
