A blessing in disguise?

After more than a year of struggle & much deliberation, I finally conquered my fear and  agreed with my gynae that I would opt for the laparoscopy. It would be a day surgery to be done in Mt Alvernia Hospital.

Due to unforeseen reasons, I had to bring forward the surgery one week earlier, which happened to be the following Wednesday (6-May) right after my Melbourne trip.

I would have to go through a pre-surgery assessment on Tuesday morning.That left me only 1.5 days to make the necessary arrangements at work with my boss. Thankfully I have a very supportive & understanding boss who has given me the green light almost immediately. As I would be out of action for two weeks, I tried to accomplish as much as I could & set several important milestones for my process group members to meet during the next coming two weeks.Everything needs to be settled within a short period!

I think I must have been exhausted running around with work within these 1.5 days. My hubby said I’ve fallen asleep within minutes on the night before the surgery. This is so not me as I am a light sleeper & usually have trouble sleeping. Well, could I consider this as a ” blessing in disguise”?

Scared of going for Transvaginal Pelvic Scan?

I had another transvaginal pelvic scan done yesterday at Paragon Medic Center. I was quite reluctant to go initially because I worried that the experience would be a very uncomfortable one. Anyway I went ahead eventually because I wanted to save $$$ - the cost would be fully borne by my employer. You see, I would have to fork out more than S$200 and S$30 is the maximum that I could claim, if I want to opt for specialist of my own choice.

God has heard me, it wasn’t another unpleasant experience. A young Malay lady attended to me and she was gentle and very patient with me.

From the report that I got on the same day, I know that  I have a 2CM cyst on my right ovary. No mention of endometriosis, which I had a very tiny one removed many years ago in Raffles Hospital.

There are other parts of report that I do not understand. I hope to see the panel doctor next Monday morning and be able to make a wise decision after learning more.I hope not to worry so much because I know that my Lord will always stand beside me and protect me.
