Even More Annoyed!

I'm even more annoyed today, for several reasons.

First: I'm an idiot! My period isn't late at all. I was just looking a week ahead I guess. I have it marked right, I guess it just got lost in translation. Pain aside, that would be great news. Except....

Second: I started my period almost a full week early! WTF?! So, this means I have to reschedule my ultra sounds - just like I thought. And that leads me to.....

Third: I called to reschedule my ultra sound appointment only to find out that my doctor's office has CANCELED the appointment all together! How pissed I would have been if I showed up tomorrow only to find out I didn't have an appointment. The best we can come up with is the dr office thought it was a duplicate order since I just had a scan in Sept. Even though it should've said 'follow up' on the appointment. So, of course, the imaging department couldn't reschedule me without the doctor's orders, which I would have to call and get. No thanks! I'm done! I'm not happy with how the whole thing went! I told them my endometriosis is advanced, I've had 2 laporoscopies for it for crying out loud, they have copies of my medical records and the best they could come up with is, in my opinion, a misread ultra sound? I still have pain in my right side, apparently the dr never questioned the cyst on the left side as opposed to the right - where she actually FELT something (not that you could probably feel a cyst - which makes it worse because what IS she feeling?)! So $400 later, some stupid otc iron pills and I still don't have any answers! I'm supposed to do follow up blood work, a follow up ultra sound (we know how THAT turned out) and call if my bleeding is still heavy. Well of course it's still heavy! It's been heavy and keeps getting heavier, which, coupled with the increasing pain, is the whole damn reason I went it! Come on people!!!

I just spent the morning researching my options only to discover, by Western medicine anyway, I'm screwed! I can go on birth control (which I don't want to do, not sure really WHY I don't want to, just FEEL that I shouldn't - maybe because it isn't 'treating' it's just 'managing' the problem), or I can get a hysterectomy, which would obviously throw me into early menopause and I would have to take all kinds of artificial crap to deal with that. And even then, there is a chance that the endomitriosis can grow back, causing me pain all over again! Not to mention the cost for that surgery plus the recovery time (6-8 weeks!). No thank you!

So, I mentioned a homeopathic doctor in my last post. Again, I'm an idiot! She is a naturopathic physician. I'm going to give her a call and see where that gets me!

My main concern is preserving the organs that it has attached itself to and binded with other organs. I know for sure from my previous procedures and from what I can feel that my intestines are affected. I'd have to read the reports again but I know other organs have been moved around too. I'm almost certain that this whole mess is the reason I don't have any energy.

On the flip side, I know that I am extremely lucky to have gotten the two healthy babies I got! Most people with endometriosis can't have kids!

Speaking of which, Quinn is sleeping like crazy! She hasn't been to school in almost a week. She feels fine, just tired she says. Her cough is almost gone and her ears aren't bothering her. She just likes to sleep! Plus she's real cranky and whiny when she wakes up. I think she's having bad dreams too, so she isn't sleeping well. Poor thing!

Syd has a mild case of the sniffles and a major case of diahria, which also includes a nasty rash on her bottom. She's still as onery as ever so it's not slowing her down! She seems to be taking some longer naps so I'm sure their little bodies are just fighting off whatever sick bugs are in the air.

There, I'm not quite so annoyed anymore!
