Thursday, October 9, 2008~ The good and the bad...health update ~ |
This morning I woke up feeling like somebody had used my tummy for a punching bag  Yesterday was my biopsy and it was a lot more painful than I had anticipated! My uterus is twisted because of the fibroids and to get to the areas that needed biopsied, my OB had to twist it the other way! I am glad it's done and over with though and that I let my son talk me into pulling him from school so he could drive me home after (My honey is gone for three weeks or else he would have been with me). I was going to go ahead and go by myself, figuring it would be about the same as when I had my cervical biopsy, which was just mildly irritating. Oh boy was I wrong!! I'm glad my son reminded me that if I hurt bad during my ultrasound, this would probably be worse. Smart boy!
Anyway, first the good news....The cyst on my right ovary is gone! Both ovaries now are completely normal and healthy so I won't have to have them taken out. This was what I was worrying about the most, having go through menopause now instead of when my body was naturally ready. So I am very pleased about that! 
Okay so now for the bad news......There are no longer just two fibroids in my uterus....they are mulitplying and getting much larger. I have no idea how many there are now, but enough that the Dr couldn't easily count them.  I still have three more weeks until my surgery and am a bit worried as to how much bigger they may get! The bigger they are, the more likely I'll have to have the surgery done through my belly instead of ....well you know where. Which means a longer recovery time and more chance of infection because I'll have have to heal on the outside too. So one worry gone, but another in it's place.
Especially about infection as I'm allergic to almost every antibiotic there is!! I know I should worry less and have more faith, and I'm trying, but it's hard!
As far as the biopsy results.....it could be a few days to a few weeks to get back the results and at this point my OB will only call IF it's not good news. We don't anticipate anything bad, but she wants to make sure she is being thorough and doesn't want any surprises when she starts the surgery.
So that's the news for now. Hopefully I can get a few posts out soon that AREN'T health related! LOL But at this point everything is revolving around my health so.......
Thanks for listening and thanks to all of you who have been praying for me!!!
God Bless,
Tricia

So sorry it was so painful, and what a sweet son you have. We women think we can handle so much pain sometimes. I did that with getting two teeth pulled, just novicane. I thought I could go by myself, my husband was like, "I don't think so, I'm going with." Goodness, I was glad he was there. I was so shaky and not feeling good afterward. Obviously nothing like what you went through, but just the idea that we think we can handle so much on our own. ;)
It's great you get to keep your ovaries, sorry that the other news isn't the best. I pray that they don't grow too much more before the surgery. And obviously I'm praying for good news from the biopsy. Let us know how it all goes with you. :)

I'll pray for you and also for your doctor to have wisdom in treating you. My close friend has the same problems. They just took her off the pill and started the birth control shots. Apparently that helps for some people.
You made a comment on my post about gas prices. It's crazy here. I live on the state line. In Maryland where I work the price is 2.99 a gallon. Their state tax is 10 cents lower than in PA. But in PA the gas price is still $3.29! I think a lot of stations are holding back on lowering the price.
God Bless!

MY WALK WITH HIM
Get This Calendar...
Make a Right onto "Believeth Blvd."
Keep straight and go through the Green Light, which is Jesus Christ.
From there, you must turn onto the "Bridge of Faith," which is over troubled water.
When you get off the bridge, make a Right turn and Keep Straight. You are on the "King's Highway" - Heaven-bound.
Keep going for three miles: One for the Father, One for the Son, and One for the Holy Ghost. Then exit off onto "Grace Blvd."
From there, make a Right turn on "Gospel Lane."
Keep Straight and then make another Right on "Prayer Road."
As you go on your way, Yield Not to the traffic on "Temptation Ave." Also, avoid SIN STREET because it is a DEAD END. Pass up "Envy Drive, " and "Hate Avenue."
Also, pass "Hypocrisy Street," "Gossiping Lane," and Backbiting Blvd."
However, you have to go down "Long-suffering Lane," "Persecution Blvd.," and "Trials and Tribulations Ave."
But that's all right, because VICTORY Street is straight ahead! AMEN!!!!!
Send these directions to your friends so they will not get lost.
