Thanks everyone, especially for the advice for taking something beforehand- they didn't tell me to do that! I will also eat something. It's scarier since I can't be with my regular doc who I trust to be gentle. |

My friend Wendie just went through a complete hystorectomy. Read her blog about it...Mommytopia She will make you laugh at completely inappropriate things, but it might take your mind of your own troubles. Edited by MyGiantPony, Sep 27 2010, 01:42 PM.

Gah, so there was some kind of scheduling mix up, even though I called this morning to confirm my appointment. The manager was upset that someone would tell me that, but she couldn't get me in because they didn't have some of the things they needed in stock. So I dragged my trembling self in there and got nothing done all day for nada. Next week though. I appreciate the hand holding! I will read it over next monday.

I can't tell from your original post what kind of procedure you're having done. I had an irregular pap smear back in July and they found precancerous cells all over my cervix. I had/have to get 3 biopsies done within 7 months, and then they have to reassess everything after I give birth in January. The biopsies (colposcopies) are not so bad. I cry every time, but mostly because of the discomfort I feel about having people poking around down there. Like I said, I'm not sure what you're having done, but the biopsies I have had are not painful- just invasive and uncomfortable. |

Nothing to it. Ask your doc now for an Ativan script. 1mg tabs. How about 10 of them. Three the day before, three the day of, and three the next day. And an extra just in case. Now, don't take three all at once, one in the am, one at lunch and one at night Having been a pt at 2 major teaching hospitals I finally told them they could NOT conduct class between my thighs, even though all sorts of interesting phenomena were discovered. All those short white coated children gawking at my cervix? Nah. Find someone else. Nowadays it's just my doc and me. Good luck! In TOC tradition of sharing... We want pictures!

BH, I remember my first colposcopy and my gyn asked if I wanted to see and I popped my head up and was like "wow cool... sure!" And she nearly fell over laughing at me because she said she always asked but most people are icked out and think she's crazy for even suggesting but she figured I'd want to but never thought I'd be quite so enthusiastic. Unfortunately I never thought to ask for pictures! |

When I had a uterine ablation done last December, my doctor gave me a photo. I had the procedure done under general anesthesia, so when my husband picked me up, I was all like, "Dude. What. Am. I. Going. To. Do. With. This?" I have forgotten what I did with it, which is the downside of general anesthesia. Sorry you had to have the procedure rescheduled, (:no:), but I have also had a few cervical biopsies, and the dreading is worse than the procedure. Good luck!
