Wow

If this man is as good a doctor as he is with bedside manner, which I highly suspect he is after Googling him, wow.

He walked in the room, smiled, looked me in the eye, said "hey" instead of hello, which immediately put me at ease...just wow. Answered every question, went through all options at length. Took my complaints seriously, was upset that I'd been suffering for a few years--just wow.

Ablation it is. If that doesn't work out, we'll do a hysterectomy. He believes ablation will work well for me.

Now I just have to wait for his office to call me to schedule.

Same-day surgery. He said those women that work go in on a Friday, have the procedure, and are back to work on Monday.

Wow.

I'm not so scared anymore. It's amazing what a good doctor, with good communication skills can do for a person. I told him how badly I cramped after the biopsy, and he is going to give me some medication to start before the procedure that will help with recovery. He did confirm that my uterus is spasming, which is what I figured.

I am so relieved to have this appointment over with. I am so relieved that it went well, that I liked him, that he took his time with me, and gave me options.

I can't remember how this came up, but I told him I'd lost almost 30 pounds and had been exercising until after the biopsy. Gosh, he was animated congratulating me. lol We talked about overall health for a bit, kept congratulating me, told me to keep up the good work, etc. My GP, my new GP that is, she didn't even do that -- but she was focused on doing that biopsy and the ultrasound. That felt good. lol

The hope of not having pain like I've been having...tremendous relief.

Wow. What a mood lifter.

The best thing I ever did was go out on a limb and get a new doctor. Bless you, Dr. S., and my new OBGYN Dr. G.
