It's weird that I get pins and needles now, when for so long I didn't have enough blood so I never felt that particular sensation.
So it looks like I have to get surgery. It's really the only option for someone my age that doesn't fuck with fertility and all that. The fibroid is 3cm long and my doctor has to check the ultrasound to see exactly where it's located. If it's inside the uterus, they can just go up and take it out, no big. If it's attached to the outside of the uterus, then they have to go in through the abdomen, which means longer recovery time, which I do not need. Here's hoping it's inside and we can get it out!
If he can't tell from the ultrasound, I have to get an MRI. None of this will happen until January because I told him I can't take time off right now. The money is too good, frankly. When January hits and we slow down, I will be able to take a week off and not feel guilty. Timing is tricky because I go to Italy to ski in the middle of February so I need to be healed by then.
So basically we know what it is and there are ways to treat it. Taking it out doesn't mean another won't grow back in 5 years, and he said that depending on which surgery I need I may need a c-section if I ever have kids. I'm just glad that I know what it is and that we can deal with it.
And now I have to go to bed because this is a long work week and I need every bit of rest that I can get.
