The best words I've ever heard a doctor say:
"Consider yourself steril[ized?]"
Whee!!!
And instead of asking *if* he still would do the Ablation, I asked
WHEN we should schedule it.
I kick ass.
I got my last depo shot this a.m. Just to keep things empty-ish until
the ablation surgery.
Dr. Davis is a little concerned about the cyst. It is a benign polyp.
There will probably be a D&C before the ablation is done to scrape
the cyst off. He wanted to give the cyst a while to settle down after
the essure & HSG (I guess--it's possible that I've been spotting &
such due to bothering it in Nov.) and wants to be able to see what
he's doing so he doesn't catch the Essure springs, which apparently
hang out of the tubes and into the uterus a bit.
Talked to Anne, the surgical nurse, and we're scheduled for the
morning of April 8.
I will have this all finished by my 34th birthday. Won't that be a
kick in the pants!? After 9 years of Depo Provera flowing through my
veins & messing with my body & brain, to be plain ol' me with my very
own normal body chemistry and a uterus that can no longer kill me?
wow.
I am so happy I want to cry. God/dess bless America. Thank him/her
for this wonderful freedom to make my own choices and live my life
and take care of my body and my health in the best way for ME. Okay,
and now I am crying. A burden I've been carrying since I was 22 years
old is about to be gone forever.
