Re: rough time

Um i think i will have them for most of the first week, the second week though is the op and the time ive booked to be away and family have a few activities plannes for them to do so itll be quiet and more relaxing. I think the week before will go pretty quickly though as ill have a few things to prepare/sort out. Im sure i can find something for them to do even just vaccuming for me or putting things away that will no doubt be left out.
I havent worked with cotton before. Im not to sure what to make with it... would a thin ply one work for the centre of a dreamcatcher?
The starbursts are coming along. Ive made 8 so far. I really am enjoying this pattern. It looked hard but now after doing a few i dont need anything as a reference and can pick up/put down as i like. Its easy to do when watching tv too so can do of a night quite easy. Instead of making a full one. I tend to make a few centres then the next round of those few and so on so ive usually got 3 or 4 squares progressing along. Im not to sure how big i want to make it yet though. @CheerBear

Re: rough time

Thanks @outlander @MDT  ... yes thats true ... its been a tough couple of weeks for me too.

 

Outlander ... I know you were to get some results back as well as to have another invasive procedure.  Sound like things were pretty difficult.   If you choose to talk about your appointment last week, I am here. But definitely no pressure.  Only you will know whether talking about things will be better for you, or not.  Hey ... thanks for thinking of me ... you're such a sweetie.  I'm slowly resolving things for myself ... I think.  Today is busy with hubbys appointments.  A two hour drive this afternoon to get to the nearest large regional hospital for (likely) a 15 minute specialist appointment.  Then another two hour drive home again.  Hope its worth it.  This is for the Endocrinologist appointment to sort out some of the auto-immune issues related to his (immunotherapy) cancer treatment.  Hoping they can sort out the every present encephalitis and adrenal failure issues.  Just another  specialist added to the mix.  Sigh.  Not looking forward to the long driving day.  I hurt my back again a few days ago ... careless of me. I'm taking anti-inflamatories again to try to keep pain at a tollerable level.  But driving does not help. Cant take strong pain killers as it affects my driving ability.

 

Waves to @CheerBear @Maggie @BlueBay .  @Sans911  I hope everything goes well with todays surgery.  Hi @Snowie ... I see you there.  😁

Thank you @Shaz51 💕 trying to make up a post that doesnt sound so jumbled

Re: rough time

Firstly i would like to thank you all for your support, as usual it means the world to me.

 

I will tag some of you guys who have been following along but i want to put a trigger warning that theres alot of girl talk and mentions kids as well. Please dont feel obliged to respond and anyone is welcome,-ive just tagged those im aware have been following. Its not letting do the drop down box thing to hide content so ive put extra spaces. 

 

@Shaz51 @Former-Member @CheerBear @Sans911 @Snowie @Owlunar @Maggie @Sophia1  @Teej  @greenpea  @Molliex @Faith-and-Hope  @eth  @Appleblossom @frog 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Friday was a really hard day for me. I did expect there might be something  wrong but not to this extent. I went  and spoke with the gynae and got all the test results. 

Thankfully  the smear and biposies have come.back clear so that is one less worry. 

 

However ultrasounds and bloods and another  one that i cant think of the name of have shown i have PCOS. I had accepted that and it did give some answers  to all of whats  happening for me in that department.  He has said that  i have  more cysts  then  ovaries (on both of them). 

What i wasnt prepared for is he has said that its very unlikeley even with treatments that  i will ever be able to have kids of my own. Even if i was to concieve its likely it wont last very long. He has  explained the reasoning behind this but i dont really think i need to go into that. I asked if ovaries have to be removed  and he said no, unless further down the track thats  what i want to do. 

 

He has told me that we can manage the symptoms with some options. I have one option atm im trying  for now but ive discussed  the other options and have agreed to try another once my op is sorted  out if they are able to get it in as pap tests are tricky as it is now. There are other options to manahe some external things but some are expensive and/or time consuming so i have to think about those and what might be best in the long term. 

 

I keep wondering if somehow my brain knew something was wrong. Ive said for years i wasnt sure on having kids of my own but that was a decision i could change but not anymore... is this my fault, have i done something to cause this or could i have done something to prevent it.. 

There was already alot on my mind without this. I go back in 6 weeks to get another result and see if i need to be refferred elsewhere for another symptom but so far no explaination along with the agreed procedure. 

 

It all seems very measy here atm, and so confusing that this is happening and also the symptoms i thought were normal (besides some ive mentioned here before) arent normal but rather just another thing to confirm these diagnoses. 

 

Re: rough time

I am so sorry to hear it @outlander ..... 💜💜💜💞

 

There can be some relief in knowing that it’s not one of the “real nasties” ...  and in understanding the cause of the symptoms and how to treat them .... but wow, devastating along with it.

 

Feelibg for you and sending gentle hugs your way Hon.

Re: rough time

I am so sorry to hear it , Feeling for you and sending gentle hugs your way @outlander HeartHeart

and also sending you understanding , knowing hugs as I could not have children of my own , 

 

Re: rough time

@outlander  My very first big response is, it’s not your fault. I know it’s hard accepting that, but I hope in time you will.

It really is big having to face such major stuff. Thank you so much for being this brave. Regardless of all you are going through right now, you are an amazing person. I hope some day you will see that in yourself. Lots of these @outlander 💜💕💜💕💜
