womb with a view

2 years later...

Uterine fibroids, heard of them? I have them. That is what the ER doc said last friday. He said that was the cause of the pain that sent me careening from work to the ER so I could find out what tiny monster had crawled up inside of me and was stabbing my guts.

Let me just say that I really, really enjoy the pain medication that they give you at the hospital. I mean really. It brought back memories of when I was in labor with Josh and I was sure I could make it through naturally. Ha! They didn't do epidurals where I was, they just drugged you. And my oh my, was it wonderful. Your entire body just instantly goes from the insane chaos of pain, to, well...a very nice place where you know the pain is there, you just don't have to suffer for it. The way life should be really. I realize that pain is your body's way of telling you something is wrong and all, but come on, I had heard enough.

So, yeah. Apparently I have some tumors (benign) on my uterus. Tomorrow I go to the doctor to find out more: their names, who they are rooting for in the SuperBowl, the historical figure they would most like to have dinner with, ect. It should be an interesting party.
