This week is a health check week for us.
Yesterday, I did my pap smear, vaginal ultrasound scan and ultrasound scan of boops. Findings ain’t 100% rosy but good news is surgery is not really necessary. My gynae said that the choice is mine – I can choose to undergo a surgery or choose another alternative. Some decision making was needed and I have decided to do close monitoring through half or even thrice yearly medical check-ups and ultrasound scans. Haih, this is just one of the many issues we middle aged perimenopausal ladies go through! I can eat like a health freak but I can’t fool those darn hormones from wrecking havoc internally! And the thought of having to have my boops touched by the doctor and down under exploited with gadgets three times a year, gawd, I feel creepy and shudder at the thought of it. But, what’s got to be done has to be done. What’s going through all these when you can have peace of mind (hopefully) and if some kind of crappy and deadly diseases were to be detected, well at least it is still early with good chance of being treated successfully, right?
Tomorrow will be Cass’ turn to see the doctors. It will be our first session with the pediatric nephrologist and urologist in a joint consultation at a government hospital. It will be to obtain a third opinion on her bladder issue. A friend who helped us to get the appointment has asked me to be prepared to spend up to 8 hours in the hospital!! *faint* Wish us luck! I hope the hospital has free WiFi, so that I can kill time by hooking my eyes and fingers to my smart phone ha! And I will also bring along the iPad to occupy Cass, else that rascal will be running everywhere! Hubs will just drop us there whilst he goes to work. It’s just baby girl and me in the hospital again, just like we used to, haih…
