Medical Fun

Over the last few months I have felt an increasing fullness in my abdomen, which I quickly attributed to eating a few too many sweets. Well, my most recent monthly cycle has proven me wrong! A very abnormal amount of pain in the right lower quadrant of my abdomen was my first clue. Those of you who know me well know I have a certain medical condition, which it has been my habit to pretend I dont have, and it is the real culprit. When my monthly pain persisted beyond its normal and customary length of time I decided to consult someone wiser than I on the subject (this could be almost anyone). I was lucky enough to get an appointment the next day, so I took off work tuesday (yesterday), and drove to Maine to see a well respected Dr. This visit was quickly followed by an Ultra Sound of my pelvis and (very luckily) a subsequent visit with a specialist. The ultrasound showed 5 little alien children in my belly and a surgery is in order (which I suspected) to remove them. I wasn't surprised when this Friday was offered as the date of torture. Somehow everything fell into place so nicely (if that word can really be used to describe my experience) that I can definitely see God's hand leading. So, after having 3-4 too many things placed in my vagina yesterday, I drove the two hours back home with an overwhelming sense that God is watching so very closely over me. There are very few specialists in the area I need and to have recently moved so close to one can only be divine intervention. People fly from all over the country to see this physician, and rightly so. Please, if you think of it, pray for me at 11 am this Friday. Thanks : )
