I made it!

First off, the bowel prep was pretty terrible (and it was flavored.) I did really good getting the the first 2-1/2 liters down…it was the last bit that had me severely nauseous. But I mustered to get at least 3 more glasses down. I suppose I was cleaned out pretty good. No complaints from the [...]

Is this a record?!

My insurance just authorized/approved my surgery just 4 days prior. That has to be cutting it close. To be honest I was getting a little nervous about it…wondering if the wrong social security # had something to do with it. Probably. Anywho…guess we’re all set. Dropped off my prescriptions this afternoon. Percocet, Doxycycline and one [...]

wow…

That is all I have to say at this point. I had my pre-op appointment yesterday. Can I just say that it is so worth the extra time and expense to hire competent people! For the patient’s sake at least. It was a little unnerving having someone register me for surgery that could NOT spell [...]

Pre-Op

Somebody actaully called me back…on the same day…now that is a miracle! Jan 19th I’ll be going in for my pre-op work. Physical, family history and bloodwork. Can’t wait :/

scared.

Finally have a date scheduled for my surgery. January the 26th at 10:30 in the morning. The only good thing I can think of at the moment is at least I only have to be in by 8:30am. I thought I’d be OK with knowing exactly when I would be going in but to tell [...]

O.M.G.

I am getting my king size mattress!!! My almost two year wait will be over. I am so excited! Now I just have to get my DH out there to try some out. I’m thinking Costco has the best deals. I’ve researched the Sealy Posturepedic…I think it ranks pretty good. Hopefully it will feel good [...]

not a good day.

Feeling quite down today. Like wanting to cry/crawl in a hole kind of a day. Not sure exactly why though? I guess it could be about the impending drama headed my way. I did have another appt today to have some labwork done. I told my DH last week my appt was at 1:30…he had [...]

Why do today what you can put off til tomorrow?!

I had a great weekend with my family. It was a nice distraction from the chaos I’ve experienced this past month. Wow… a month… time flies. Had a consult with my DR this afternoon. It went really well. I feel better about things at the moment. Probably because I’ve postponed everything until after the holidays. [...]

Trying not to panic.

Visited the GYN oncologist today. Liked him a lot. Had to fill out more paperwork and get yet another exam. Apparently, the CA125 tumeral marker (that was elevated in my lab results) means there is a small chance my cyst(s) may be malignant. But the DR assured me it was a very small chance. He [...]

And we interupt this program…

I’m having a nice lunch with my husband when the DR called again to schedule some appointments. I am being referred to a new DR on Monday to go over some results. He is a “cancer” DR as she put it (or a GYN Oncologist). Cancer runs through our family like crazy so hearing that [...]
