#CW: Gynae stuff

[pers-books]

Update - finally!

Just had the gynae consultant on the phone - apologising for not sending me a letter re my blood test results and having the coils fitted. Apparently the NHS system is set up so that it boots you out of the system after a certain amount of time, for the sake of keeping patient details confidential. Unfortunately, she was in the middle of typing up a letter to me to give me the blood test results and lost it 'cos it booted her out! (And it doesn't keep backups, bizarrely!)

Anyway, my thyroid's fine (so I haven’t had a fake menopause, thank fuck!) and my ovaries are dead, so I'm good to go for getting the coils fitted. It won't be until after the middle of the month, though.

Today’s nonsense under a cut ‘cos of references to gynae issues:

Got to the Ultrasound dept. at 9.40 for my 10am appt as I'd left myself plenty of time not only to walk over to the hospital but to find where I was meant to be going. Told the receptionist my name, time of appt, date of birth. She checked my address, then told me to take a seat. And I waited... And waited... And waited... I didn't think too much of it at first because I kept hearing the ultrasound technicians apologising to people for the wait, but eventually, after 90 mins I went over to the desk and asked the same woman how much longer it'd be - and she hadn't even fucking booked me in the silly cow!!!!! So of course I was sitting there enduring panic attack after panic attack for 90 minutes for no fucking reason! Then I finally got seen at 11.20 and of course, she didn't just want to do the ultrasound scan, she also wanted to shove a probe inside me 'cos the fibroids were blocking the view! Boy, had I forgotten how much I *don’t* like being penetrated by anything!

Finally got home at noon. Have to wait for the results to be sent to the GP, who'll then refer me to the gynae dept., 'cos apparently that has yet to be done! I am so bloody over this!

Fuck my life, seriously. (Details of my gynae appt under the cut for those who’d rather not read it on their dash!)

The appt was absolutely bloody awful - and all for nothing since I had a massive panic attack and she couldn't see inside my womb because I was shaking too violently. So now they're going do it under general anaesthetic instead when I'll be unable to have a panic attack!  I'll be in hospital for the day for that one.

 And after they were done, they sent me over to the main hospital for a bloody ECG so now I have a massive headache from becoming dehydrated and I'm still shaky from the panic attacks.

Should hear about the inpatient hysteroscopy appt pretty quickly and it’ll be within the next 2-3 weeks. Joy of joys - more fucking health-related stress!
