Yeah, I've been on Synthroid for about a year now. My doctor is raising my dosage, and I'll get another blood test next month. This does explain why I've gained about ten pounds over the summer.
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Erin, they'll use a tampon probably during the surgery, and then pads while you're recovering. Nurses have seen everything, and that ain't nothing.
How long will you be in hospital post-surgery? Hopefully, you'll be done by then!
So sorry -- what a PITA to have to deal with.

Indeed. Much worse stuff for real. I will be sending the ~ma for brilliant surgeon and team as well as a quicker than anticipated recovery.
Connie's brain, listen to me right now, laughter is super important for healthy functioning.

ut post op with a numb leg and difficulty using the bathroom alone? I'm gonna ask someone to deal with my used lady supplies. Um, no. Sincerely tryng to will my uterus into cooperation STAT.
They've seen worse. And every nurse I've ever known would rather help a patient then have them be uncomfortable. Biohazards is biohazards. It could be poop.

Words to live by.
So the storage shed is all cleaned out, bless my faux-son and his kids. That's $90 a month I don't have to pay and a nine-year obligation gone. The stuff I want to keep is in the garage, waiting for time to look it over.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Your lips to my uterus'...ears (?) Figured i'll just take a couple of everything with me and call it good. Not like they're going to be re-using any of the drapes or such.
Can I bitch for a second? I STILL DON'T HAVE A CHECK IN TIME FOR MY SURGERY, WHICH IS TOMORROW. Thought they were supposed to call by noon, so at 12:30 I called and was told that the scheduler would call by 6pm but "I'll leave a message for her to call you right away." 6:15 pm I call again and THE OFFICE IS CLOSED so I get voicemail. I am so very unimpressed. 9 pm I call and leave another message restating my deep and sincere apprehension WRT not knowing when I am supposed to show up. I am paying these people to cut into my body, the least they can do is tell me when and where to show up, definitively, more than 2 hours in advance. Seriously, as thought I weren't worried enough!

Wow. So I called the hospital main after hours line (even though it's being done in a clinic, out patient, not in the main hospital) and their scheduling person checked the OR boards and I am indeed "on the boards" for an 8 am check in, which is rather earlier than the noon check in they had tentatively told me in the pre op appts last week. So glad I knew that a whole 12 hours in advance. Oh wait.
