Glad that’s over with
ByMy procedure was today, I have to wonder if I’m going to dread posting to you people because I am so tired and still under the influence of some stuff, so I’m wondering if I’m making any sense at all.
I feel like I’m drunk dialing you people.

Okay, I wrote that last night and after that sentence I fell asleep on my laptop. So, I’ll continue right now.
Everything went well, despite my blood pressure doing it’s best to ruin my life. Because my blood pressure was so high, we had to hold off on the procedure for a long time while I sat in a sheet and tissue slippers with the lights out so I could relax.
Nothing says relaxing like laying naked in a cold room.
There were many causes to my blood pressure being elevated, not just that I was nervous about a machine entering my uterus.
Yesterday morning we took my car to see how much it would cost to get the air conditioning fixed, we heard the total and decided to pass, then after picking that car up, we needed to head back over to where Brian got his tires fixed last week because his car sounds like he’s dropped plates all over the highway. (it’s the best description I can give you.)
So, before driving away from the air conditioning place, Brian came to my window and as I pushed the lever to roll the window down, the window didn’t budge. My window that worked prior to dropping off the car was no longer working. And our power locks? Not really working either.
Unfortunately, we were on a very tight schedule as I had big plans for my doctor to set up a picnic in my vagina. We did go in and tell the man boy and he did a quick test and then said “youhavetopullitinside.” (that’s how he spoke, he just mumbled, didn’t really open his mouth at all. It was interesting.)
I said “we don’t have time, but in the meantime, I’ll have fun driving around with my kids with no air conditioning and NO WINDOWS. GREAT, THANKS, BYE.”
So, off we went to drop off Brian’s car which just survived The Great Tire Massacre of 2009 last week.
All the way over to the other car shop, I’m thinking of three things 1. How did they screw up my windows and who can I punch because of it? 2. We are going to be late for my appointment. 3. I just want a new car.
But my biggest concern was who can I punch and I’m going to be late.
Brian is following me, I pull into the car shop, he pulls in behind me and a cop pulls in behind him with his lights on. Now, Brian is a known speeder, but he was following me and I know I was NOT speeding, so I walked up to the police officer and Brian and the police officer was like “um. Go away.” So, I did.
He got a ticket for taking off his seat belt to lean over to get a newspaper that was on the floor of the passenger side as the car was sitting at THE LONGEST LIGHT EVER. The police officer admitted that yesterday the cops in our area were told to only look for people who aren’t wearing seat belts and give them tickets.
AFTER THAT, we headed to Chicago and yes, my blood pressure was high. If it was too high, she could not do the procedure. But after some deep relaxation and some ativan, it lowered enough for her to be able for her to drive a Chevy into my nether regions. And she did and it hurt. She took pictures of my uterus, my fallopion tubes and other ugly areas and everything looks wonderful.
She did invite a student into the room with us, his name was Lance and he got to do one of my biopsies which only made me nervous when my doctor warned “No anterior and do you feel it?” and he was manuerving something deep inside me and he replied with “I think so.”
I have a very, very good feeling about all that took place yesterday at the doctor’s office. I’m still unbelievably tired but I can’t complain.
By July 6, 2009, we may SOMETHING and I can not wait.
Hope all your tests turn out well! I’m glad you were able to ‘relax’ enough to get the procedure done!
Maybe Brian should just not be allowed to drive any more? He seems to incur events that seriously WOULD NOT happen to anyone else in this world.
I’m so glad that you have a good feeling about yesterday, Beth. I do, too.
You’ve got to be kidding!
I hope you find the answers you need soon! Rest up, girl!!
How totally crappy! You’ve just been having too many of “Those Kind of Days”. Hang in there.
I punched a cop yesterday. Want me to do it again, just because that’s a craptastic reason to get a ticket? It would be no problem to do it again. (He deserves it!)
Glad the procedure went well. And congrats on having a pretty uterus!
Power windows – great when they work. But when they don’t, you’re just effed. Mine got stuck down, and I live in Washington. And we get JUST a little rain here. Argh.
Glad the uterine invasion is over and hope you have a nice, relaxing rest of the week!
I hope your tests come back okay. I’m going today to get a lump in my chest checked. No fun at all.
This reminds me of my trip to the gyno with my second pregnancy. She had a medical student come in & was describing all the things that happen in early pregnancy with my vagina hanging wide open for all the world to see. “It’s on the test” she explained to me. I felt great comfort in knowing that when that test question comes up, that young male student will automatically picture my vagina.
I hope you know something by July 6, 2009 too. Answers are always better than questions.
Also, I’m glad that everything seems to have gone well. Take it easy, now. You deserve a little rest after all of everything that’s been going on!
I’m glad that the procedure is behind you and you feel good about it!
Well, if unfortunate things happen in threes – you’re there (and beyond) right!?
Hang in there sister!
Yikes!!!! My BP meds have been working overtime lately trying to keep everything under control.
And dotcha just love it when they call students in. And when you are full of drugs, they can pretty much invite anyone, even the janitor, to come take a look see…
Oh my glory Beth. You have had a crappy May!! I will be praying that June is a glorious one for you-you certainly deserve it after this month.
And don’t you hate it when people who are supposed to be there to offer you a service mumble, grunt, and act like you are ruining their life by being there and supporting their business? IT FRIES MY COOKIES!!!
what a mess, it sounds like the car people messed up and blew a fuse in your car, sk them to replace the fuse!
sorry about the chevy and the BP!hugs!
You crack me up!!! Sounds like you have a mess of things going on in your life lately!! Hang in there! Sending you hugs!!
I think that you and Brian need a “do over” for the past two weeks!
Keep us posted on your test! Answers are always better than questions. I have a test on my girlyparts on Tuesday to try to determine why A may have had IUGR and why I can’t seem to get pregnant again. Haven’t been ready to blog about it yet but maybe I will be soon.
You are very gracious to share your uterus with a student, especially after your early morning!!!!
He seriously was pulled over and ticketed for taking his seat belt off at a stop light. WTF chuck?
I hope you take your car back there today and demand they fix it and knock off a % off the price of the other repair, for being douchebags and breaking your car even further.
I apologize for being a little feisty today, I have had ZERO sleep and need someone to punch, myself.
What a dirty rotten day that was!
i chose one blog to read (and NOT comment on!) in the 5 minutes i’m stealing from things that really need to be done. but, obviously, i couldn’t stop myself from commenting! holy crap you’ve had some times lately….hang in there….it’s going to make those sweet things coming even sweeter. =)
If I didn’t “know” you, I’d totally think you were making most of this post up. I mean, WHO deals with all of this at once!?!? You poor thing. Hang in there, hon.
I am glad to hear that everything looks good inside your insides, and I hope you are able to find out wtf is going on in there.
xo
After all that, it’s no surprise your blood pressure was so high!! Girl, I’ve said it before but you need a break. Wanna come down to see me and I’ll take you to the beach for a long weekend?
Dang, no wonder why your b/p was up!
I have a feeling that June will be much better for you and hopefully your wallet too.
omg…so did he get a ticket??? what an asshole cop (sorry, can I say asshole here?)
I hope you are feeling ok after your procedure and hope that it provides the answers you are looking for!
How did they screw your car up when checking the air…I don’t get it. Car places bug me.
I hope you are feeling better, and that you get wonderful results from your nether region tests.
Wow…that’s quite a day. I dig the chick who punched the cop. I think you should take her up on the offer. I am amazed that he would get a ticket for such a ridiculous thing!
Praying that you find the answers that you are searching for. I know it’s so rough to have a handful of questions and no answers. Blessings to you!
Sorry your car is sick. I am glad your procedure is over. I hope things start to look up for you guys and things with wheels.
Cars and vaginas.
Now that’s a good post.
Ok, so there’s a lot in there, and you have been my thoughts and prayers all week, but I really can’t get “set up a picnic in my vagina” out of my head. Possibly a phrase that has never been typed in the English language!??!?!
Yikes- sounds like an adventerous day!
I wish we lived near you because my husband would look at your car. He knows a/c and all that stuff. But we live way up in the NW burbs of Chicago.
I hope you have a great weekend!
I know this post was not meant to be funny but you always make me laugh Beth! The part about the student in the romm saying, ” I think so.” cracks me up! Hope you get to feeling better and the car situation works out!
I hope you got some sort of nap today. I can’t wait to find out whatever it is we’re going to find out.
Steph
Sending calm, peaceful thoughts your way…June is right around the corner for a fresh start.
Well, girl, the only thing I can think to say is BLESS your HEART. I hope for you that June is totally uneventful. Yikes.
I found your webpage through Lindsey, @ finding joy in little things. Your story touched my heart, not knowing you, I will pray for you, for your family. God does miracles. We only have to ask.
…And you had a student too no less! You deserve a gold star. Hope you get great results.
Here you are talking about this procedure you had done and how much it hurt and all I can think about is the ahole cop who gave your husband a ticket for taking off his seat belt while NOT MOVING sitting at a red light!! He’d been the one to punch since you were looking for someone. You totally need to fight that one – it’s freakin’ ridiculous!! See, I’m still reeling!
I hope the picnic went well :-] *grin*
