Probed : FSGS Sucks

I had my colposcopy yesterday. It wasn't as bad as I imagined but it wasn't all that great either. Let's just say that it felt as though they could've driven a Mack truck through my hoo-ha. I don't think I was in stirrups that long when I had Izzy!

The morning didn't start out too well. My appointment was at 10:20am. I was back in the procedure room by 10:45am and then I sat.....and sat.....and sat.....until 11:30am. Now, anyone that knows me KNOWS that, at this point, I was PISSED. So I wrapped that damn paper sheet around my lower-half and stomped out into the hallway yelling, "Is ANYONE here????" Shortly thereafter I had my doctor and nurse in the room with me. The question I have is WHY does it take me getting irate and nasty in order to get anything done in a reasonable timely manner? I understand that doctor's are busy dealing with potential emergencies, but patients are busy too....patients don't allocate an entire day to spend at the doctor's office. The least the could've done was occassionally check in and let me know how much longer it was going to be...or heck, offer me some water or something.

After the doctor got there, I kinda let him have it over the wait, as well as the lack of a call. Let's face it..had I not called about getting the IUD, then I wouldn't have known about the abnormal pap until next year. That's just unacceptable, especially with someone like me that has a compromised immune system. What could be trivial in a "normal" person could become quite serious quickly for someone like me.

After I was done railing, and he apologized, we got on with the exam. He went ahead and did the colposcopy and LEEP at the same time so I didn't have to come back again to have it done, which I was thankful for. It'll take a couple of weeks to get the biopsy results back, so keep your fingers crossed for clean results. The best part of the exam was that he didn't see any abnormalities on my cervix...the bad part was that I had to get a shot in my HOO-HA! Yes, and it hurt as much as you would think it did.

Toodles for now!

Test came back : FSGS Sucks

I'm at home today because Izzy's sick, and that's sort of a blessing because I just got a call from my OB/GYN saying that the 2nd pap I had done last Tuesday also came back abnormal.

I'm freaking out.

Next steps..colposcopy next Tuesday morning.

Dear God/higher power....please let me be OK.
