Here I am back again, just like a bad penny that keeps turning up!  Mindy, thank you for posting about Rosemary, and hope you don't mind as I don't know how often I will be getting on.  Anyway, sorry I didn't mention that I wasn't feeling well all last week, I really didn't think much of it until I couldn't walk anymore and until my body wouldn't function anymore and the pain just got worse and worse.


Finally went to ER and on a Sunday that is hectic, had all kinds of tests except the one the dr. really wanted me to have, and he specifically mentioned it to the staff on Monday a.m. and it just never came about.  He thinks it's definitely a gyn problem and I have a growth/lump/tumor/cyst/etc. about the size of a grapefruit right now and he thinks that is the problem as it is pressing against my bladder and colon and other things.  Anyway, he signed a release form for me to get out on Monday at 6 p.m.  He came in to see me twice that day and he said he didn't want me in there.  He knew they were setting me up for surgery for "whatever" and he had a feeling they were wrong.  Anyway, I finally got home, all unplugged and taking Docusate to keep me and my body in harmony, and it's working quite well, almost too well. 


The best news is that he set me up with a top notch endo in charge of Harvard and top Honcho in the Dana Farber hospital in Boston, so on the 10th of October I will be going to Boston for the ultra sound that the hospital never did, and at 11 a.m. I will be meeting with the new dr.  I have a feeling my own endo has seen the last of me as she examined me and told me that she is leaving for India that night, and if the test isn't done by 4 p.m. the latest she wouldn't have time to do the procedure.  Well, good luck to her, she told me that she has a lovely replacement while she is gone, my dr. said don't go to him as he's just a young man and barely out of training.  I do have a lot of faith in my dr and we've had him 30 years for that reason. 


When he came in to sign me out, I jumped off the bed and said wait a minute, and when he turned I gave him the biggest hug you could, and he said he would do anything for me and even called me sweetheart.  He's just a plain sweetheart himself and he and Ted shook hands and it seemed that we were all happy. 


So, enough about this situation, because I must keep a positive attitude, sometimes hard to do, but I know I have all you gals behind me and have seen the posts on the board and the prayers from all, and I thank everybody a million times over. 


So, have a good day, and hugs to all.
