I'm a Very Strange Woman!

Yesterday was a very busy day for both Geoff and I!  I worked until 12:30pm, which was so busy that it felt like I had been at work for 15 hours.  Geoff spent most of the morning on the phone with the school, the courts and his ex to get things rolling with the move of his son into our home.

We left for Ottawa around 1pm, stopped to get gas in Kemptville at 112.9/litre.  I arrived early at my appointment around 2:05pm (my appointment had been scheduled for 2:30pm) with my Gynecolgist, but it was good as he was running late.  His office works on a first come first serve basis.  Finally around 3pm, Dr Feigel came in to examine me.  As he walks in to the room, he looks at me, says, 'You're a very strange woman, it doesn't matter what I do for you, you end up with complications', then proceeded on telling me why. I grinned and then clamped up....thinking what the hell else is wrong with me?!!

First thing, he reviewed the test results from the biopsy and also showed me the documentation that indicated that no cancer was present.  It was nice to see it in writing.  Next he proceeded to tell me that the diagnosis of when I was hospitalized in November was incorrect.  It was not endometrioma.

I'm not sure if some of you remember reading my previous post shortly after my surgery in April to remove my ovaries, but I mentioned that they indicated in the OR documentation that they 'believe' they had removed both ovaries, however were not able to confirm the removal of the right ovary.  Well, the right ovary that was missing in action....they found a small piece of it, they call it ovarian tissue.  So......the little bugger is growing.

Therefore, to explain what happened in November....  Since I still have a trace of ovarian tissue, I'm still producing estrogen.  With that, plus taking estrogen pill,  I ended up with Estrogen overdose.  What's next?  I went for blood work as he needs to determine exactly how much estrogen I am producing.  In three months I return for an ultrasound.  Keeping my fingers crossed that my ovary doesn't grow anymore.  I'm actually chuckling about the whole thing as if this continues, everything might just grow back and Geoff and I will be able to have a baby.......NOT!!! LMAO!!! 

After the appointment, we went over to Zach's so that I could give him a care package of my baking & cooking.  I'm sure he's enjoying it :)  We then went to Costco to buy some ground beef & ground pork as I will be making Tourtières with my mom on Saturday.

After Costco, we met Ryan and his mom at Tim Horton's to officially have him move in with us.  We finally arrived home around 7pm.  It was a busy day!

Thank you for reading about my life that never has a dull moment.

Cheers!
