another health scare

Body: 

It is unrelated to the pelvic health; but it is related to my health...Over past couple of years I have had many health issues that turned up as generally related to stress...I had many check ups, some of them because I panicked and needed to have some answers...I realised that doctors know less than I believed...

I have been doing more-less all right with my pelvic problems. I am trying to be patient, as apparently the last %20 of improvement takes the longest and it feels as ups and downs, but never so badly as I used to feel...
I am more in touch with my body, still learning...

And...
Yesterday I went for my physio appointment. Some time ago, when massaging my thigh muscles on my right leg, my physio spotted a lump. Yesterday she said it has gotten bigger and asked me to go to my GP...My GP responded, "ah, it is so big..." (it is around 6cmx6cm)...She gave me a referral for USG...

And, this is just before me going for holidays...but, I organised an appointment privately for Tuesday, the 4th September...

I am worried...but it somehow feels as if I am numb...

Sorry, I just needed to share...

Hi Di

That is all good news about the lump. Yes, public health should probably be re-labelled 'public sickness'. Sad.

Hi,
I am on my way to hospital. Mixed feelings. But it has to be done...
I guess, my mixed feelings relate more to my (ex)husband giving me a cold/silent treatment...
See you later!

Best luck and good health

Hi Dear Ikam,
Am thinking of you across the miles, sending (((hugs))) & WW hope.

Hi Everybody :)
Thank you very much for all your support. The surgery went well...I have a 20 cm scar on my leg, still have problem with walking, but going soon to see phisio.
I have been at home few days, unable to do much.
I was on a such cocktail of medication, blood thinning injections, general and local anaesthetic, a type of oral morphine, paracetamol, codeine, etc.
My body feels strange after all this...
I have had a horrible anal itching...could it be due to the meds I had to take? Also my nose is quite irritated...

Anyway, I am in a recovery phase...still sleeping a lot, last night slept 14 hours!!! I still feel kind of drugged...

The final results will be in 10 days (after histoptology)...

The hospital is a strange place; I was not in pain but I was told I had to take painkillers to "top them up" and keep the same level in the body!

Going for phisio now.
Ikam

Hi Dear Ikam,
So glad that you are home & recovering well.
(((hugs))) & best wishes

I've been away from WW for quite a while, just found this thread. I hope you are healing well (maybe up to page 14?? I loved that poem...) and feeling a bit stronger and optimistic.
sending you healing vibes and prayers
there is lots of love for you here

It seems I am my own worst enemy at the moment, as I am so inpatient! But trying my best. I am healing well, I just want to "speed it up", which is- of course- impossible...I will have the clips removed on Monday (cannot wait for this!), around 20 of them...

Glad to hear from you Ikam, take it easy and be good to yourself! - Surviving

You are also your own best friend, just look at what you have just done for yourself. We are allowed the internal dialectic, it makes for synthesis and action. Your impatience is your longing for life and go get it girl.

What will you do with twenty clips? They are not quite like gall stones in a jar.

best wishes, Fab

... now the op is behind you. Stay patient (strange word, that!)

Trying MY BEST! my mind thinks: "I can walk fast"...I go out, walk and I am reminded by my own body that I have to slow down...
Cannot wait to have the clips removed...

(The hospital reminded me of a "production line"!...)
