Re: D & C Follow Up-Thanks

September 16, 2000

I want to Thank Everyone for the answers on insurance coverage for UAE. The

list of insurance co. that cover UAE is very helpful, the list my employer gave

us to choose from includes several of them.

It's a shame that we have to practically be legal/medical experts in order to

figure out if we have appropriate coverage or not. Not to mention how to treat

ourselves-if it weren't for the fact that I am completely terrified of surgery,

I would have just assumed that I really do need a hysterectomy. But my fear

drove me to research the subject. And trust me, I was shocked at HOW EASY it

was to find out that it wasn't the case.

I had my D & C yesterday, and I had to pass on what happened right before. My

nurse for the procedure introduced herself and asked me if heavy bleeding was

the cause of the D & C. I said yes, and she remarked that she had that same

problem and she got so tired of it she went ahead and had a hysterectomy (she

said she had adenomyosis (sp?)). She said a few other things and her whole

attitude was that it was no big deal...I didn't respond the way I wanted to

because I didn't want to hurt her feelings, but I told her that I just didn't

know. She conceded that it was a big decision and left it at that. I know I am

a paranoid person, but I had a wild thought in my head like maybe the dr told

her to share that with me.

I have to wait until Tuesday to find the results of the D & C. He said he should

be able to tell me where/how many fibroids then. One good thing, no bleeding

since yesterday (I had been bleeding for 7 weeks)
