Doctor visits and more money = low morale

Do you remember the first time you saw this? I remember thinking " put what, where? Scoot down more??" I can't tell you how sick I am of undressing from the waist down and having doctors tell me things that I don't want to hear. I would give anything to walk out of one of these offices with GOOD news. It really sucks because on the way out of his office is a wall of bulletin boards filled with baby announcements and photos. Heck, my refridgerator is covered with them. Obviously my morale is really low today.

I went to Northside Hospital (ironically the hospital I was born in) for my pre-op and talked to my doctor and the nurses about what to expect for my surgery next week. I am undergoing what is called a Hysteroscopic Myomectomy. The doctor will go into my uterus and "grab" the polyp and cauterize around it to make sure there's no growth around it and overall make sure everything else stays healthy. It's a common procedure and fairly routine so I'm not really nervous. More annoyed by the fact that I just forked over $400 (actually I charged it) for this. The money we have spent so far is astounding. And we are still so far away from our goal and coming up with a new plan of attack!

Dan and I are meeting with Dr Toledo at Reproductive Biology Associates tomorrow at 8am. I have not met Dr Toledo, the doctor I previously saw, Hilton Kort, passed away last Friday at the age of 64. I seriously cannot make up the complications and sadness that continues to unfold in our story. He was a wonderful man who founded the practice and served on the team that created the very first "test tube" baby. He will be missed by so many and gave so much to the world. So, so sad. I will post more once we talk to the new doctor. Take care!
