Mouse on the Move

November 8, 2024

Let me finally spell out the problem I've been having for almost two months now. I started not just having periods, but basically hemorrhaging after having been in menopause for six years and not having any. at first there was nothing, just bleeding a lot, which was enough. Then I started having off and on cramps which sometimes knocked me off my feet for the day. Then there was not just pressure, but pain with a capital P. With the pain I started passing clots.

I went to the ER the first time the day I had my first gynecology appointment and all they did was schedule me for bloodwork and an Ultrasound (which they did when I went in that night) which by the way was Halloween night. That was when they said I had a cyst on my ovary and to follow up with Gynecology.

Gynecology decided the records they received from the ER were "inconclusive" and they would call me when they could get my insurance to approve an MRI. Cue the long silence.

I went back to the ER today because I was having to change my pullup every hour and was passing clots the size of golf balls. (ended up taking an ambulance there this time) Spent six hours there for them to do a CT scan and a pelvic exam. All that and all they would tell me was to follow up with Gynecology............ And, oh, by the way, the CT scan showed a spot on your lung so you need to follow up with your primary care as well....


I am at the point of "Just tell me my body is riddled with cancer so I can just die"......


I don't even care if I write another word ever tonight.........
