RESTING MY BACK AFTER A VERY FULL DAY IN TOPEKA. I held up pretty well considering how much we were on the go and the weather was gorgeous. SO NICE to be out in it fulfilling chores needed done. It was a GORGEOUS SPRING LIKE DAY! Gorgeous and I loved it. Awesome weather for February.
I stayed up late last night typing up notes to take with me to the GYNECOLOGIST so I didn't sleep the best as I had much on my mind. Prayed then dozed off waking before the 7 am alarm went off. I got up, took my morning bathroom break, washed my hands then took my morning meds. Fixed my hair, got groomed and dressed. Headed out the door toward TOPEKA needing to arrive early for medical appointment and I did not want to miss this long awaited appointment.
I was previously informed if you are 10 minutes late then the doctor will not see you and rescheduling takes place. I was 20 minutes early. Got checked in and before I could sit down, the nurse called my name. I was weighed and taken to a exam room where the nurse asked questions. Finishing up, an intern came in and asked more questions. Both ladies were super nice and caring. I was to take my jeans and underwear off, cover myself with a white sheet and wait on the exam table. Maybe 20 minutes passed before the doctor came into the room with the intern well informed about my health issues.
We decided that since a biopsy was done in December that a more aggressive step is needed like going to the Hospital, being put under and have a camera go into the uterus to take a look around and see what's going on in there. It will be MAY before the procedure can be done and if I begin to bleed heavy again, I can call them and they will prescribe a progesterone pill. Okay. So there was no biopsy today and plans are in the works for a MAY procedure.
Relieved I didn't have to go through another biopsy. As I have read about colposcopies, it is pretty common that the doctor swab the vagina with a vinegar substance that turns abnormalities white so the doctor can see them better to biopsy. I don't recall the Manhattan Doctor doing this when he biopsied me in December.
I liked the Topeka Doctor very much and also the intern. I appreciated that the doctor was very informative and personable. Well, I am one step closer to knowing if I have a uterine cancer. The doctor explained about older women's uterine lining can get too thin which causes bleeding. Also the intern cleared the air about thyroid issues can cause bleeding issues. My thyroid numbers were way too high when I was bleeding extremely heavy. Meds were upped and I will get checked next week to see where I'm at. I will be curious at how my flow does with my TSH numbers being lowered.
Mystery solved? I still need to know if I have cancer. If my flow continues to lighten up with the TSH numbers stabilizing then we are on to something. PRAISE THE LORD!
I might just be somewhat of a NORMAL 67 year old woman again with no bleeding. Now I will get on the band wagon to see if I can shrink the fibroids with food selections, green tea, vitamin D and herbs. Tadaah. Maybe, just maybe I will be successful at this dilemma.
AFTER THE APPOINTMENT I could sense that I was hitting a wall as fatigue flooded over me. I was on high alert during the medical appointment and after it was over I felt like I was deflating.
Hubby and I went to eat at a different restaurant for us, JASON'S DELI. It was wonderful. I got a BOWL MEAL and think next time we go there that I will try their massive salad bar. As we sat and waited for our LUNCH, we could hear over and over again, "TWO FOR SALAD BAR!"

Walking out of the restaurant when we finished, we had beat the rush. People were streaming in. There's a STAR BUCKS near by so we stopped to get our beverages for the day. Since GREEN TEA is suppose to be good for fibroids, I got a TRENTA and enjoyed every sip.
DOLLAR GENERAL to look for faux tulips. No such thing here, but purchased EASTER CARDS for family. Now this is early for me. I can leisurely fill the cards out during the month of March and have them ready for APRIL 9th. My Mom's 91st Birthday!
Off to fuel the car and stop in at SAMs. Needed coffee for HUBBY, coffee cups and lids. SAMs has stopped carrying their magazines. Not happy about that. I always purchase a WILLOW AND SAGE magazine from them. I know the Natural Grocers carries these so I needed to go there to buy the newest edition. Checked out of SAMs, went to GOD's STOREHOUSE buying a sweet lil $2.50 doll that is dressed like one of the characters from LITTLE WOMEN. I'll launder her sweet dress and fix her hair which needs combed back into her hair SNOOD.
Looked on the internet coming up with this information: Ashton Drake Porcelain Doll Jo The Little Women Collection By Wendy Lawton
I picked up a cute word sign, 2 art books for inspiration and a couple of pairs of very pretty earrings for cheap. $1.oo and $2.50 are cheap in today's economy. A $3.oo turquoise bracelet was steal if you ask me so ask me. It was a steal. Newest hobby is buying turquoise.
After we checked out, we went to Natural Grocers, ALDI and HY-VEE. A full day. Lots of driving and trying to stay out of trouble.
TOMORROW will be a fresh start to what the day will bring. I need to get to packing dishes for the move. So I will attempt to get this done. Do some laundry. Then work at the COTTAGE rearranging the dolls in the curio cabinets. I think I will put together all the VICTORIAN DOLLS in one cabinet and all the other contemporaries in the other cabinet. Probably two hours work? Finish this and start filling the three shelved library cabinet with some dishes. Hubby took apart the library cabinet and transported it to the COTTAGE to set it up. He placed it right where I had requested in the Dining room by the window. This made me smile. Hurray another piece of furniture to the COTTAGE.
As I was going through some cardboard boxes that had been at the COTTAGE for awhile, I came across more of my BLUE WILLOW DISHES. Soup mugs, coffee cups with saucers. I have quite a few pieces these days. Trying to make this all come together is a mental work-out. Just keep morphing and staying in motion.
MAY THIS WEEK I see progress as we are nearing the end of the month. Gotta get my Grandson's birthday card to him in the mail. He's turning 16. Doesn't seem possible. I am working on getting him 16 individual gifts to open after he turns 16. Kind of like trying to be creative and practical at the same time.
Blessings,
