Happy Thursday, O-Fam! And Happy New Year to everyone who celebrates Rosh Hashanah. I hope that everyone is having a great day as they read this.
Yesterday was a long day, again. My drs appt was at 11, so I ran around the house trying to get stuff organized and worked on my food shopping list for today. I had invited my parents up for coffee and to pick up some party dresses and winter coats for her to sell at a garage sale this weekend.
I get to the drs, and only waited 15 mins. That I can deal with.
But when I get in there-- she told me she was doing the endometrial biopsy. When I rescheduled the appt, I asked if it was for the biopsy or just a follow up for the u/s and they told me follow up. If you have never had an endo-biopsy, can I just say that it hurts! Wow! Had I known I was getting that done, I would have taken some advil beforehand.The rest of the day I was all crampy and tired. My parents came up soon after I got home and then a bit after they left, my neighbors called and invited us to their house for dinner. They had 2 couples coming for dinner and one had to cancel due to illness. I was really looking fwd to getting into my pj's but I was not looking fwd to cooking. Walking next door won out.ound:
But the u/s came back normal-- no fibroids and the biopsy results should be back in a week or so. The dr said that either an endometrial ablation of a hysterectomy are acceptable medical options- my choice. She is still warning me that while an EA is less invasive, shorter recovery (by a lot!), it might not work for me. They hyster is obviously major surgery, but then pain/cramps are gone-- forever. I am trying to look online to see some of the real life experiences while keeping in mind, most people post only their extreme experiences- either love or hate.
I wish I knew what was right for me. I would love to try the ablation but if it is not going to work and I need a hyster. anyway... what's the point? But major surgery? Help!!!!!! (Not from you dear Phyllis- I know what you will say :rofl
Today is food shopping then off to work. Cait is making her super delicious tortilla soup for dinner and man, I can't wait for that!
Temptation on Thursday:
Buy all of the dark chocolate in shoprite and eat it all. Hey-- it's got health benefits so that makes it good for you hahahah!!
Hope that all of you are having a wonderful day!!!!
