And so the diagnosis...
I spoke to someone today. Two someones in fact.
Someone #1: The nurse at my Ob/Gyn's office. She told me my u/s results. I have two MASSIVE cysts on my right ovary. BIG. And that is bad enough. But irritating those two cysts are my Three Fibroid Pals (I call them Lemmy, Vyvyan and Frank) who are not just still present but have GROWN.. considerably. In fact, Lemmy grew 200% since last year. Yeah. Great. "Not a nuisance" my tart arse.
She said, and I quote, "WOW, no WONDER you were in such pain!!"
To which I replied, "Yeah, no kidding, huh? Please fax my medical records to ___, because you're fired."
Someone #2: The nurse at my RE #1's office. She is a doll. I had some complaints about the RE because she kept trying to rush me into IVF, which I was not then nor am now ready for, and because she had run out of ideas on testing. I told the nurse my saga of the last year and the most recent events (to which she said, "Keep calling them. Hound the HELL out of them. Demand answers NOW." That's why I love her.)
When I told her of RE#2's discoveries of the possible septum and the recent findings of the Three Fibroid Pals' activities, she agreed that I should have my hysteroscopic surgery. Soon. As soon as my period arrives, I am to call and set up the appt for day 6. That's in two weeks, my dear friends. *snap, snap* Muy pronto.
Now, THAT'S service.

Geez! That sounds just too painful. I hope you start to feel better soon. Take care.
Good for you for firing their incompetent asses!! Unbelievable. I am just sorry that you have to wait another two weeks to get some relief. I hope you have lots of good drugs and alcohol in the house.
Two weeks is good. The original estimate, three months, was bad.
Incompetent fucktwads. Any lawyers in the house, because I'd sure be using some mighty big words like malpractice.
I'm sorry about your pain honey and I'm glad that this is going to get resolved soon.
xxxx000,

MAL-PRAC-TICE. Hey Emily, I said a big word! Olivia, wow. Glad it was the cyst and not the other horrors it could have been (and pat Dr. Soper on the back for her cyber diagnosis! Graduate of The Google School of Medicine!)
Thank God someone's finally going to DO something. Ugh. What an effin' saga.
I hope your pals are sent packing soon and they give you some more great meds to pad your pantry.

Well, at least everybody in your pelvis is getting along. It is a party down there, isn't it? Didn't anybody tell them it is rude to bring uninvited guests??

Do these doctors know anything?
I mean, seriously, the more I read on this shit, the more I think I could do a better job myself.
Sorry to hear about the party in your pants...
I just don't get it! Why the hell don't drs. listen to their patients?? The cysts won't rupture or anything will they? Does this mean your insurance should cover it since you're in danger? That's how I got mine to cover it. I had cysts sent by baby JEsus so that the drs. could repair my snausage tube and adhesions whilst removing them. Praise the Lard!
Oh. My. God. I can't believe that they would do that. UGH. But at least you're getting the surgery..and quick.
I'm going to agree with whoever said that we should be treating each other. I swear - we'd all be pregnant.
I mean, damn! Why is it necessary to...to...all of it. I'm glad you're getting your surgery, at least.
When does it END?
it may not be the doctor's fault here, at least in terms of the office staff's problems ... but ... the doctor is ultimately responsible for what happens in his office. a word comes to mind: fucktard.
at least now you have an answer.
Good. Surgery=Good when you want it. You'll be surgerying just around when my man is surgerying. I'll be thinking about both of your parts and wishing them well. (eeeeyaaah, that sounded bad.)
