So on top of fibro, job loss, waiting for eye surgery and yesterday's ultrasound for post menopausal bleed, I get a call this morning from Gynaecology. I'm now in for an appointment tomorrow for a hysteroscopy and biopsy!
Depending on the results I may have to make a decision as to which is more important - eye or the nether regions.
How come everything is hitting me now 😟
Sorry to hear about you losing your job and your ailments, keeping fingers crossed for you that they find nothing sinister when you're in for your hysteroscopy and biopsy tomorrow. But if they do then you must try to think that this has been caught early and it can be sorted. I had a hysterectomy over 30 years ago because they had found pre-cancerous cells in my smear test, I'd already been sterilised so opted for a hysterectomy rather than laser treatment. When they were performing the hysterectomy they found endometriosis on one ovary so that was removed as well. I've had no problems in that area since. I know it's a bummer when everything is happening all at once, but you will get through it. Sending gentle hugs and best wishes for tomorrow. ❤️
Thank you for that Welshcatlady. The results from tomorrow will be what they will be, as far as I'm concerned. The logistics required if treatment is needed will be challenging to say the least.
Particularly as my partner is under Orthopaedics for his knees - looking likely that knee replacement surgery is on the cards.
Ho hum .... one day at a time, as they say
Oh I do hope that everything works out OK for you, and for your partner too. You do have a lot on your plate at the moment. ☹️
Lol, you're not wrong there!
Throw in Covid; separation & divorce 2020/21; new home purchase and move (Midlands to Lancashire coast) 2022.
Plus new job Jan 2023 (terminated June), yep I agree its been hectic.
Regarding work, I probably have a good case for constructive dismissal but don't have the energy to pursue things.
And with the health issues, surgery, etc hanging over me I'm not really in a position to apply for anything else 😕
Hi, wishing you the very best with everything 🕊️
Life has a horrid habit of saving things up and dumping it on us all together.
Crying will happen and you can feel better after it but the one thing that will also help day by day is a good sense of humour. If you can find the funny side ( hard sometimes!!) it helps.
Fingers crossed all sorts out in your life.
Sending good wishes, K xx
Hope all goes well! ❤️🙏
Fingers crossed your results are clear x
I know you've heard it a thousand times before and is easier said and done Please try not to worry Gulfstream_Maggie, I also had the dreaded post menopausal bleed, I had an extremely thick wall thing, (Sorry, the fog is taken over) The women were so good to me,making sure the bed was as low as poss so I could a forward roll from my power chair😆
My last smear was when I was 18yrs Just over 30yrs ago, So I was overly anxious and telling myself If it was cancer it could have been dealt with years ago and better get myself sorted, I Wrote letters to the people I love and had my 2 dogs and cat all trying to get on my lap, So I let them on the sofa (normally a no go area,but this was not normal),
The call came and I was asked to go back The next day. Where I went, there was (only way to describe it) A HUGE robo cop chair The lady said there was no need to worry and it would be a quick procedure and I would just have a uncomftable sensation and mild pain,Mild pain??
No Thank you, MILD PAIN ???? errr hello fibro lady coming through ! I grabbed my Hubby on the way out, The lady didn't catch me, Sorry Hubby, When he came out with a cosco hot chocloate, No words were spoken at this moment, I was helped into the van chair put in the back,He hugged tight and said, Your having a general anestetic the day after tomorrow,
Jobs a gooden. 😪
I had a polyp thing which was removed, I go to all my smears now. I know I yak so much but the last person I spoke to face to face apart from our grown children or the phone (don't do phones) was around 2019, Thanks anxiety
So read, don't read I just get it out there, Kind thoughts to all and enjoy your weekends, Gulfstream_Maggie,Please accept my gentle 2 mississipp's hugs, 😌 and accept loving thoughts from all
Take care Debs x
Many thanks for your kind and loving thoughts Debs.I'm so sorry that you had such a terrifying ordeal.
I've been pretty good all through my life - attending for all cervical screening. Also had forceps delivery with first born (1990), emergency section with second (1992).
Both now healthy adults, but have taken Dad's side through our divorce and haven't had any contact since 2020.
I can live in hope though that they may one day see everything's not black and white.
As for today's appointment with Gynaecology it will be what it will be.
My partner will be there for me and he's already said he'll look after me whatever happens. Even to the point of having to put his knee ops on hold if necessary.
Please be kind to yourself and take each day as it comes
Baby steps are the way to go these days I think.
🤗😊
I hear you,My 4 kids disowned me 2012, said I don't see them and they all go on family holidays together (about 20 people all in) Party's better off without me? I've moved 250 miles up the motor way and changed my phone number(I don't use it now anyway) Got rid of arsebook,Hubby and I are in regular contact with his children and have been told I am a Nana 9 times now,I never got invites to special birthday's or weddings because they have a new mum who makes them feel loved??
And the same old...If she's going I'm not. I'm getting a bit angry and an awful lot sad now,I'm so glad my Hubby is my kind,loving daft and wonderful man EVER.Has got me through some really scary times, (I'm on a waffle now) Thank goodness for Health unlocked
So sorry you’re going through that situation.
Lucky you now have a wonderful partner who sounds as though he thinks the world of you.
My current partner is also a lovely guy who really looks after me and is so supportive, helpful and encouraging. I struggle to cope with it and find I still try to be far too independent because that’s what I’m used to.
He’s been estranged from his family for years, due to past problems. No kids, so the only one with that baggage is me!
I’m not holding my breath with my two, just crossing my fingers that one day they realise everything’s not black and white.
Sending supportive hugs your way 🤗
I didn't teach my children to be rude and disrespectful and certainly not to make choices without thinking what the end result would be. I didn't get a choice what my wishes would be, Loooong story,My Hubby is 68 this year and I 51,We both are not in the best of health but found each other, We got the usual s##t, It won't last,
Too much age difference blah blah, So almost 19 years later??? Here we are, I just think there was another path I could of chosen, But I didn't want to go to prison for the rest of my life for killing their father.
We just try to get by and make things as easy and stress free as we can.
I know it sounds strange but I have so much more love for our animals than the children.and I know the 18yr old cat and 11yr old mini yorkshire terrier will be with us only for a time. So we got a full size yorky who is now 3, we are in discussions for a german shepard I want to train to be a companion dog to wake me if I'm screaming in my sleep and just feeling safer in our own home and whilst outside,
Can I just say when I joined Healthunlocked I sort of just stepped back and read, Now because this is my only way of communication I seem to just keep typing until my mind goes to mush, sorry for that!
Take and give loving gentle hugs and kindness to all, and maybe,just maybe the healing may just make us have a smile within as well as out and see the good.
See I just keep going on and on 🙂 Sorry for the length of babbles,
Take care Debs x
Big hugs! I'm so sorry you're going through such a lot right now. I've had a hysteroscopy and they are awful, but at least it's fairly quick. The majority of women who have a hysteroscopy are given the all clear. Try to keep that in mind and don't dwell on the alternative, because worrying will make the fibromyalgia worse. I know, because that's what I did. Much love.
Paula
So sorry to hear about all thats happening to you. I wish you all the best, hope everything goes well xx
Hi Gulfstream_.Maggie 🤗
So sorry for your suffering sweetie. I wanted you to know that I just said a prayer for you and my earnest wish is to that your gyno problem will be benign and you will have your eye surgery soon.
Please take care hun.
Love and prayers
EJ 🤗♥️🥰🙏🕊🌿🌸🦋
Tis one of those things i guess

If you could choose one thing to be helped with, what would it be?
Pass me a thing - whats a thing - Oh one of those why didnt you say!
