thessalianOkay, I've had just about enough of this. I got a call from Dr Bez this morning, saying that I should come into the surgery to pick up a note for the ultrasonographer I'm going to see tomorrow (8:30 am; that's inhuman). Apparently at some point between my appointment with him yesterday and 9:30 this morning, something occurred to him either because of some bloodwork results that came back or just some evil little notion that clicked for him when reading over my case file and he wants my uterus and ovaries scanned as well as my upper abdomen. The note, when I picked it up, read "? ovarian pathology"*.
...Ovarian pathology?!? Yes, it's a vague term, but it's one of those terms that rings alarm bells, if only because of how vague it actually is. Not to mention the "getting a call first thing in the morning saying to get this done" factor - I just can't see this having come to him out of the blue, so does that indicate something came back in my recent blood tests that raised a red flag? I'm trying not to think things like "Well, it's not like I had my heart set on having kids anyway, so why the hell do you care if this is bad and means that you have to have various bits removed?" because a) I don't know anything yet and b) that's not the point anyway because I like having the option, y'know?
Communication from my boss asking for my sick leave certificates to date (which I'll post in a couple of hours or when the rain stops, whichever comes first) and my permission to contact my doctor about this mess. At least that's easily dealt with and I won't have to worry about what to tell him for awhile if he talks or writes to Dr Bez. Frankly, I'm a lot more worried about my ultrasound appointment tomorrow, and what the hell happened to suddenly have "ovarian pathology" thrown into the already alarming list of possible diagnoses.
Note to the world at large: Okay, I admit it; I'm scared. Can you stop now?
[* - the question mark, for those of you not familiar with doctor speak, should be read 'query'. Basically means, "Might be this: check for it".]
