Lynn,
I am soooo sorry that you had to cancel your surgery also. It totally
stinks. Take lots of hot tea and soup, vitamin C, etc. I hope that you
feel better really soon. When is your surgery going to be?
The weird thing about it is going into my surgery {I was scheduled to
have 3 chocolate cysts removed along with my right ovary} I had a wicked
headache like you could not believe and now it is almost gone. I guess
it could be stress also - I think I grind my teeth at night.
I have an appt to see a doctor in NYC on Monday, but I don't know if I
am strong enough to travel all that way by myself. Also, the idea of
having surgery so far away from my home and my son is a bit scary. But
you are right, I am starting to think that maybe I should seek another
opinion to get the right doctor. Dr. Husami is an endo speciailist in
NY city, whereas my current doctor is just a regular ob/gyn surgeon who
has experience with laprascopy.
Also, my son was set to have his first communion in 2 weeks. This way,
he can still make his communion - we were most likely going to postpone
it due to my health otherwise. I am definitely beginning to feel like a
higher power is at work here. My husband and I also reconciled as a
result of all of this chaos [on the day I was supposed to have my
surgery]. So maybe some good can come out of all of this.
Thanks for listening and for the support. I am finding that the more I
share with others, the better I feel about everything.
Hugs,
