Men, you may want to skip this post ;)
Today I went to a new GYN. I have put it off since 2011! I just couldn't make myself go after all the surgeries after the hysterectomy/cystectomy/appendectomy journey.
I dreaded having to hear "you need surgery" again.
But, the Doctor was amazing. Listened to my every question and concern. Did my yearly exam (THE PAIN FROM THIS IS THE WORST!!!!) and the results are, I have a swollen out of the ordinary lymph node on my left side (breast) that we are just going to monitor for a couple months. I also have "severe" scaring in my abdomen due to ALL the surgeries I had. They believe that with hormone replacement and possible physical therapy for my abdomen. (I didn't know they did physical therapy for your abdomen! ha!) I will be able to avoid surgery! UNLESS, the pain continues And, this would be the LAST choice!!! But, God willing, the other treatments will work out! YAY! scared to death for this appointment for nothin'! :)
Besides that, we are having a snow day today with the kiddos. They went to school and then around 10am they called saying the roads were bad and they kids should be picked up. LOL! So, now we are just chilling at home!
