Comical Ulstrasound Story - Good News in the End

March 24, 2004

For those of you that need a little smile I would love to share with

you my comical ultrasound day.

I work 1 hour away from the hospital. Drank all that flipping water

2 hours prior to my appt. Get half way to the hospital and there is

a major car pile-up on the bridge just ahead of me. I was literally

stuck there for 2 hours and I phoned the hospital to tell them that

I would definitely not make my 4:00 p.m. appt. They told me that if

I was there by 4:30 p.m. they would still take me.

Sitting for 2 hours with a full bladder on the middle of a bridge is

something I will never forget. I was close to tears from pain and

very worried that I would miss my appt. that I had waited over 1

month to get. I contemplated either peeing right in the car as I

could barely hold on....or walking out of the car...leaving it there

and walking across the bridge to find any shrub near the side of the

road....I was that desperate.....then 2 hours later at 4:15 I am off

the bridge and driving frantically towards the hospital when...guess

what?????? Train Toot Toot.....Oh my.....life just doesn't get much

better does it.

Anyway to make a long story short I made it into admitting at 4:27

p.m...practically crawling because I could not walk..... and they

let me release some of it.

Good News!!!! My grapefruit the doctor felt pelvically is in fact

only about 5 cm long and not a grapefruit at all. I asked about my

ovaries as that was a big fear and she told me that " she is not a

doctor....but they looked normal " .

I can live with my fibroid the size that it is as my only symptom is

frequent need to pee. I will read all of your posts and educate

myself and go for my yearly exam and ultrasound.

Thanks for listening....it wasn't funny at the time....but I am so

happy with my ultrasound that I can look back and smile :0
