November:
I finally heard from the doctor, Surprise phone appointment. I think it is likely I misheard her assistant when she told me the date last week on the phone. I have been doing that pretty often lately. It seemed like just hearing or reading a completely wrong date, so that wouldn’t be surprising. I wanted to get into my constant cycle problem but I was caught off guard by the timing of the phone call and it can be hard for me to switch gears like that because I needed to step away from a meeting when I got the call. Typically I would try to avoid meetings if possible so I didn’t need to do that with work which I don’t know if I will be able to do for a while.

The call was brief and I just tried to explain that I have been in continued pain from my period. I don’t think that I did a great job at explaining how much worse it’s been getting and I guess it isn’t even so much worse at one time, it is the progression. She did order a pelvic ultrasound and I called them and was able to get in for 8 days from now. This type of procedure I have had dozens and dozens of times. Certainly no less than 25 and no real way to know the true number of both internal and external ultrasounds considering how many I have gotten in the Emergency Room (ER) and in other provinces. 

I have not been without cramping literally one day in so long. It is constantly one thing or another and I just don’t think it’s possible to manage my other health conditions on top of this disorderly and constant cycle of painful bloating, bleeding and constipation caused by my uterus.

Sorry I left this blog a while because I have been busy with the winter holidays leaving no single blog for November and December.

December:

I had gotten the ultrasound done at the end of November. It seemed to show that my uterus looked smaller than last time with one of my ovaries now enlarged. I am not a doctor so I used AI to compare the results of my results and my last most recent results to find this out. The doctor has still not called me. 

I have been feeling less constant cramps but they’re still quite severe when I am ovulating and my bowels still depend on the time of the cycle to work and then when they do it is so painful I need to ice my abdomen. 

But I am now 6 Months into what I was told would be a 12 month wait time. 

½ way.
