A little about my morning...

Well as You know today was one of those wonderful visits that make being a woman so much better. Haha. First, i start on the paper work in the waiting room. Still on the first page when they call me in the back. The nurse asks tons of questions as i am still working on the paper work. She finally says the doctor will be in shortly. So i sit and finish the paper work in this tiny room. Still fully dressed thank goodness. Lol. About an hour later, the same nurse comes in and says "we have not forgotten about you." i am thinking sure thing lady. Haha. About thirty minutes from that time, the student doctor or whatever she was comes in and starts asking the same questions and taking her little notes to repeat to the regular doctor. She gets the information she needs and leaves. About 20 minutes later, her and the doctor come back in. He talks about the answers i gave to the questions, then tells me to remove my clothes from the waste down. And he will be right back in. Well i did not realize it takes a person over 20 minutes to remove their pants. Lol. Finally they come back and start the exam. Did a quick breast exam before the pap smear and all. The student doctor did the pap smear itself, then he lubes his fingers and shoves them in there, pressing on my stomach and all. Telling me to relax as he presses on the hernia. Which they were all shocked at the size of that. Go figure. He asked if the hernia was a parting gift from one of my children. He was a goofy ass doctor but very nice. And actually one that listened to my concerns and such. Sent me down to the lab for blood work so he can get my hormone levels or whatever. And when i go back in two weeks, he will go over the results of the blood work and pap smear. And do an ultra sound to find out why my uterus is enlarged and to check my ovaries and whatever else is in there. Lol. It did take most of the morning, but everyone there was respectful and treated me like they did care. Not many doctors or nurses do that anymore. my blood pressure was still a bit high, she did not say what it was, only that is was higher then it should be. i told her that is what my pcp is working on. He also said that the enlarged uterus and the hernia could be a good majority of my sudden weight gain. Also checking for any issues with thyroids. Figured since i had a fun filled morning it would be a perfect blog for today. Lol. Easier to explain everyone by typing rather then texting. Think that about sums it all up for now. ~Smiles~
