Day 325 in my journey to Mickey

Today’s plan was to go back for a post-op checkup.   I had to have my first internal pelvic check since my hysterectomy.  Man!  I hate those things!  It was not at all painful, but you just feel so violated when it’s over.  Don’t get me wrong; my doctor is great.  She is very gentle and has wonderful bedside manner.  But there is just no way to be truly relaxed when you have a speculum inserted.  Argh!  Anyway everything looks pretty good, I’m told.  Now I have to go back every 3 months for the next two years.  Then I have to go every 6 months for the following three years.  Then if all is well after five years, they say I am healed.

However, there were some odd irregularities in my cancer cells, so my oncologist wants me to see a genetics specialist to have some tests done.  Man!  I don’t think I can do it right now.  I’m still to worn out, still too beat up.  I need some time away.  Maybe after I retire at the end of this year, I’ll go.  I just can’t face more medical stuff right now.

So that’s what I did today to be a healthier me for our trip to Florida.  Meet you at the Kingdom!
