And I thought ‘All was well’…

So Dr. chin called me today. He said my pathology report came back from my surgery, but they didn’t find the fetal sac in any of the tissue he removed. So I guess we’ll do some more testing to see if I passed it on my own after surgery, or if I need another D&C to remove it.

All is well

Everything went very well with the D&C. It wasn’t as scary as I thought and Dr. Chin was there, teasing me the whole time. It solidifies him as the best Dr ever. I was only out for about a half an hour, which wasn’t bad. I have NO pain at all, so far, which is great!

Dr. Appointment

I had a Dr. Appointment this morning so I could sign consent forms for my surgery. It was funny because Dr. Chin was trying to tell me all the things that could go wrong without trying to scare me… Knowing I already didn’t want the surgery, he started talking really fast and I caught. “perforated uterus, uterine scaring, intubation… general anesthesia, and vomiting. Sign here.” I had already researched it to death, which he knew I would, I’m always well informed about any medication I am on, or any treatments he chooses (I pride myself on it).He gave me some prescriptions to fill, to make me not bleed as much, to shrink my uterus, a prophylactic antibiotic, and stuff for having O- blood, all on top of my normal medications.
