40,000 or so mile check up.....

1/24/2012

I find myself wondering and asking a bunch of questions to the squirrels in my head. Problem is all the squirrels are busy this time of year and don't have much time for me to bother them with my problems. I have said the word Vagina more in the last two weeks than probably ever in my life. So going forward you will hear/read "Koslopus" or "Vjay-jay" when referring to my problem parts. These are two words I have taken and will be using appropriately thanks to Chelsea Handler.

I started my quest for the 40k mile check up a little too late...I should have followed routine maintenance checks like I do for the car on my body. Lesson learned, could have saved myself a bunch of trouble, money and time if I didn't let this go so long.

To save myself all the lectures, I won't tell you how long it had been since I enjoyed the company of a Licensed Gynocologist but it had been a while. :)

I finally went to visit a fine Koslopus doctor in September of 2010 and from that point on the doctor and I have seen each other more than I have seen most of my family... So #1 that's a lot and #2 I don't see my family near enough!

In September 2010, my tests came back abnormal or wonky...from there I had a biopsy (Oct 2010)that found high grade dysplasia CIN 3. From there I then enjoyed a nice laser surgery(Nov 27, 2010) where they did a Yag Cone procedure. After a shorter than expected recovery time I was then taken back in for a full/total hysterectomy.(Dec 6,2010) Let me tell you that was not fun, Stacy helped me take full advantage of the pain pump after surgery. I can be the first to admit that I am a wimp, it hurt and was painful for quite a while.

6 month recheck....July 2011.... More wonky results, time for another bibopsy (My Big Fat Greek wedding reference) The licensed doctor was unable to get a viable biopsy. At that point he thought it might just be scar tissue from previous surgeries and opted to wait and recheck in December 2011. Well recheck time came and guess what....WONKY Koslopus! So surgery scheduled to knock me out and dig around for those little evasive cellular monsters. All I can think about is some little monsters like on the Mucinex commercials running around going " Nah, nah, nah!"

Pathology came back on January 13, 2012 as Vjay-jay squamous cells present. (I don't know who thinks that is a present)

So now I am headed to see Dr. Alexander Burnett at the Rockefeller Cancer Institute tomorrow January 25, 2012.

We will see what happens next....
