PW health bulletin #1836
May. 30th, 2012 08:48 amInasmuch as a visit to the gynaecologist can be termed a success, yesterday's visit was a success. The guy is in his mid-fifties and inspires confidence. He's thorough and down-to-earth. So I'm very glad to have found him.
There was a rather hilarious moment when he told me, while doing the ultasound, that my ovaries are nearly depleted, in the tones of someone carefully impairing very bad news. He obviously didn't expect me to perk up and say, "Really? Oh that's great! I can't wait to finally get rid of all this!"
He also took a blood sample for a hormone test, and reassured me that my fatter-than-usual tummy is very, very probably due to hormone changes. Which is good because, as soon as the results are there, he can get me started on whatever it is I need to take. Probably oestrogen.
In other news, the shoulder is much better. Snezana will be arriving in little more than an hour, and even though I expect today's massage to be rather more on the painful side, I'm looking foward to feeling much better afterwards.
That's it folks -- not going to write more, because Cornelius is sitting on my lap, making typing very uncomfortable, the selfish little beast. No regard at all for his Mother Goddess's well-being...
