I recently had a vaginal ultrasound done...for an existing painful condition that they still haven't found the cause of...
At least the ultrasound has helped rule out any disorder in that system...now I need to schedule a colonoscopy to rule out any problems in that system...but they require that one take an orientation class before the procedure...a class that is far away from where I live, when I think they could just send me a list of things to do (or not do) so I wouldn't have to have a babysitter for 2 times!
I remember my first abnormal Pap smear...I was terrified!...my husband (at the time) had just been sentenced to prison and I was under the scrutiny of Social Services as to whether my children should be left in my care...I broke down and cried at a court hearing because I was so worried that I would be too sick to take care of my kids....
As it turned out, the doc just removed some bad cells from my cervix and gave me a clean bill of health...and my kids never left my care...but my husband never returned after prison.
Instead, I upgraded to a younger model! Lol!
(I realize this subject matter may not be very punny...just trying to show support.)
It's difficult to make mare-y when your friend is worried about her health.
