The Eternal Guest Room

Thank you everyone for your comments and support. My saline sonogram is Monday morning and I should find out what’s going on then. D will be coming with me, fortunately. I was alone during my last one so I’m glad I’ll have him in the room with me this time to be there and ask questions.

In the meantime I’m trying to keep myself busy and consider all the possibilities but not dwell on them too much. We’re about to change insurance plans and that’s stressing me out on top of everything else, but at least this time I know what problems to prepare for and I’ll be much more on top of any issues that arise. Last time, it took us 6 months to convince the insurance company that, yes, we were covered, and yes, you need to pay our thousands of dollars of bills.

My acupuncturist gave me some herbs that are supposed to get rid of the cysts, and I’m supposed to put a castor pack on my stomach every night for a few weeks. The herbs taste disgusting and the castor pack is messy. I get frustrated about all the different things I continually have to do and go through. I just want to be normal like “everyone else.” It’s hard sometimes to accept that I’m apparently not.

It’s been a rough week but we’re going to Austin this weekend so that should be a good distraction.

I’ll have more news on Monday. I’m hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.

I’ll let you know.
