I wasn't going to post as I know so many are going through some very difficult times. But after seeing Jennifer's card, it reminded me of what I love most about the Stamp Shack.
I just got out of the hospital this morning myself after being rushed into ER. I woke up Sunday morning in excruciating abdominal pain. I thought that perhaps it was caused by the stress of my sil's funeral over the weekend. But it wasn't getting any better by Sunday night. My hubby took me into urgent care where they checked for UTI and kidney stones...both negative. Then they did a few xrays. The nurse practitioner came out an told me that I was constipated! I knew she was the one who was full of crap, (pardon the pun) because I was okay in that department.
On Monday morning I woke up and started bleeding (you know where). I haven't had any monthly visits like that in almost three years. Besides I had an endometrial abalation three summers ago that took care of that. I got really scarred and the pain seemed to be localized to the lower right side of the abdomen. Couldn't be appendix since those were removed when I was a teenager.
My neighbor took me into ER at the hospital that my GYN works out of. To make a long story short, they ran a battery of blood work, ultra-sound, and cat scan. Apparently I have developed fibroids in the uterus and ovaries and the er dr thinks the source of the bleeding is from a ruptured fibroid. They kept me overnight for observation.
Now I'm scheduled to go in out-patient to have a biopsy tomorrow afternoon. Worse case senario is that I may have to have a hysterectomy. (Why do they call it a HIS terectomy when it's for women?) I'm trying to think positive since I've always been a good girl about the annual exams and mammys. But that "C" word still creeps up now and again.
I've been thinking about MaryJayne and Lesa, Sherri, Robin and all the others here on the Shack. I know all of you are so supportive and I feel like I just needed to let you know. So if you have a few more prayers left, I would appreciate if you could send some my way.
Sorry for the long post and for rambling on. I'm one of those people who like to talk thing through even if it's to myself. Thanks,
:worried:
