Drumroll please....

My test went well today. I went to same day surgery at 7 this morning and they started an IV and gave me a shot in the ass of morphine, which turns out I am allergic to. Around the needle insertion site was a big itchy red welt, NICE. After I was nice and welty, and somewhat high off the morphine, they took me to radiology. In radiology I had to assume probably the most demeaning position ever. No stirrups in here, I had to have my butt up on two pillows and then "frog leg" my legs and drop them wide open. Then they inserted a speculum that might have been similar to a small jack, it was not like a normal pap speculum. He put betadine on my cervix and dried it off a few times, then threaded the catheter through my cervix. Actually if there was any discomfort or cramping it was during the abnormally large speculum insertion and the threading of the catheter. And I just felt a little cramping during the catheter part. Then he slowly injected dye into my uterus. I watched it on this little screen, and I really had no idea what I was looking at except I could see a dark splotch growing as he injected the dye. Apparently one tube spilled over real fast and easy but the other one was slower to spill out but did finally. So, final verdict-both tubes are patent. We have an appointment on the 10th for follow up and to make a decision on what comes next. I am very happy about this news, it takes a load off my shoulders.

In other great news, Anna, who's birthday is tomorrow and will be 11, started her period today (please note the sarcasm). We have been expecting it for a while, the mood swings were just about getting unbearable. Bless her heart, she came out of the bathroom today at Friday's and says in my ear "Mom, I had blood on my toilet paper when I wiped". She wasn't freaked out, which I was surprised about since you could hardly talk to her about it without her crying before. I wasn't totally prepared for this day, even though I thought I was. My little girl is not a little girl anymore. I'm trying to think how I dealt with it when I was her age. I was 10 almost 11 too. But I was only in 5th grade. Alright, hows that for TMI tonight.

Tomorrow is birthday party day. It should be fun, she is excited about it. I'll try to post some pics tomorrow night.
