My initial appointment came up really quickly. One of my friends was able to come with me so Randy could stay home with our boys and our dogs which I was grateful for since it's not fun driving alone. Especially when the roads aren't the greatest due to snow and ice!
A truck we saw that had slid off the road,
my friend took the picture.
The water ultrasound was first and was really easy but they had a little bit of trouble getting the upper part of my uterus to stay open so they could check it. I unfortunately had some polyps show up on the ultrasound which immediately told us that I would need surgery. They told me their lady who schedules the surgeries would call me within a couple of days.
Giving blood was super easy and it's what I did next. I got results later that day from them over the phone and they told me that my thyroid levels were a little low and that they wanted to start me on a medication. They said they had called it in to my pharmacy and that I could pick it up once ready. All my other levels were normal.
Next up was meeting with my coordinator. I was super excited for this because she would lay out all of my appointments and I would know for sure when the transfer was scheduled for! I also had to go over all of the consent forms and she told me how to sign them online and that they would then be able to send my husband a link so he could sign them as well. She asked about if I needed surgery and I told her that yes I would. She said that's just fine! They had scheduled it out far enough so that I could have surgery if needed. Which turned out to be a blessing as my surgery wasn't able to be scheduled until the week before I began my meds. Once finished, I met with their scheduler and we scheduled out my appointments so that way I knew what time each was going to be at!
Til next time!

It took about a week until I finally got a phone call to get my surgery scheduled. And that was after emailing my coordinator about not receiving the phone call when they told me to expect it a couple days after my initial appointment. She was just as confused about why they hadn't called me and told me she'd send them a message about it. Once it was finally scheduled, all I had to do was wait until that day. Which was scheduled about a week after that phone call.
Til next time!
