Carmella's Hang Out

Sorry Sarah, I know I said I would come right home and type this up, but I didnt really feel like typing about it then. Sorry!

I had my ultra sound done today. The tech that conducted it was very nice, and she tried her best to put me at ease. Heh, it was kinda funny and half way embarassing when they gave me the scrub pants to change into……and the first pair did not fit!! lol. I am convinced they gave me a set of capris for a 10 year old!

My plan was to ask the tech right away, if she knew what the diagnosis code meant on my Rx….I ended up not having to. When Mum and I walked into the exam room, she asked me if I knew exactly what my doctor was looking for other than just the ovarian cysts. That took me by surprise, since the Doc had not told me anything about what she was looking for…..other than to make sure that everything was in the right place inside. Upon later refelction, I realized that it is not nessasarily that she thinks I have cysts {it would not surprise us if I did though…..it is not unheard of in my family. There are a few different ovarian diseases that have attacked some of my cousins.} but that she was ruling out the possibility given the symptoms that I have. At the moment though, I think I could have burst into tears. We will just chalk it up to nerves though, eh?

The first half of the exam went fine, though I would have liked to have seen the screen. I asked her if I would know anymore when I left than when I came in, and she said that no I would not…..but I can call my doc tomorow and ask her to look up the results. If she cant look them up on the hospital network, the paper results will be mailed to her within three days. The second half of the visit is something I hope never to have to do again, and am very very thankful to have had Mum with me for.

Last night, David got some songs for me off of iTunes. One of them, is a Sixpence None The Richer song called “Trust” and it is the Bible verse “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart.” put to music. This is what I sang to myself in my head during the latter half of my time spent at the hospital. “Trust in the Lord with all of your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all of your ways acknowledge Him and he will make your path straight. Dont worry about tomorow, He’s got it under control. So trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and He will carry you through. Lord sometimes it Lord, sometimes it gets so tough. To keep my eyes on You when thinks are going rough. But when I turn my eyes up to the sky and I hear Your voice it says to me. So child do not be weary with the troubles of this world I have overcome ” It was a big comfort to me, along with my mum stroking my hand and wiping away my tears. Thank you David, for getting those songs for me. You were a big help, and you didnt even know it. {I had just been listening to the songs this morning, so that verse was fresh in my mind.}

One very ironic thing in all of this. It was at Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital that I was told I had a blown disc that would need surgery. And it was at that same hospital that I had that surgery less than a week later………on July 21st one year ago.

Thank you for your prayers……thier continuance {is that the right spelling for that word?} would be so very much apreciated!! Hope to get to talk to all of you soon!
