Surgery next week. Wow that was fast.

Tonight was the night. DH picked me up from work as we were lucky to get a 6:15pm appointment. Private is sooo much nicer! We arrived at Forte Health, the new hospital on the fringes of the CBD. Very fancy, gosh, how lucky are the wealthy! We were early again, seems to be a habit of ours. We met with the OB/GYN, he had been studying up on me before we arrived, the Nurse told me afterwards she got ALOT of results through for him to look through. I waved my giant filofax at her that i was carrying and said "I know". He asked why i was here and then read out my referral letter (ill get a copy of that tomorrow) from my GP. Basically it was a second opinion, cause I can. We talked about why we think the hospital had no desire to look into my abnormalities, he agrees that if its not affecting my fertility, the Assisted Fertility Clinic would not want to know really, how do we know its not affecting my fertility? Its strange masses filled wiith fluid? Surely cant be good to leave them be? We talked about the discovery of the ovary and he is not sure thats actually an ovary as the mass seems quite large. What appear to be ovarys could be any fluid forming. He thinks its possibly a unformed kidney? Either way it needs checking out. Next we talked about pain. Yes, I get pain, all over my abdomen and back, in my shoulders. Never debilitating, but unexplained pain. As this pain is during certain activities and various stages of my cycle, he wants to check it out to rule out its not Endometriosis, that would explain possible problems with bladder and bowels maybe? 

So, all going well with the pre-approval via Medical Insurance company tomorrow, in 6 days time (Monday 18.08) I will be in surgery for a Diagnostic Laparoscopy +/- Laparoscopic Excision of Endometriosis and Hydrosalpinx (fluid filled tube). http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrosalpinx. He will not touch any uterine horn that he finds without my consent, that would be a separate op. He believes there is only a tube visible on the scans. He will however investigate the right mass behind my liver, he would not remove without my consent but will assess its viability for laparoscopically removing eggs from it. Its awkward that I am now spread across 3 specialists, but he agrees we could all benefit from his findings. 

Eeeek, going under the knife and all the risks associated, lots to think about. First time since having my tonsils out. Due on in 2 days time, so close to my op, but wont be on Clomiphene this month, will have to ring hospital and let them know.

Will update this tomorrow once i get the surgery booked, so many hoops, forms and phonecalls, oh, and talk to my workmate about the leave she wants to book on the day he wants to operate! Sighhh.
