And undo all the good that the thinking blogger award has given me. (i.e. any new people who come in here will run away screaming) I'm in need of a little help in the form of encouragement though.
The ass camera yesterday hurt like crazy. I was supposed to be sedated, but wasn't. I'm not sure why but I suspect it has to do with my allergies to latex and adhesive and the extra steps that had to be taken because of that. I do NOT like pain. I wish I could be more like my middlest child. After the test I was told I needed to see a colo-rectal surgeon for hemorrhoid removal. For some reason this makes me so embarrassed (ha, ha embarrASSed). I feel like an 80 year old. Both my husband and my father found it hilarious. I told dad I didn't want to tell people at work and he told me to tell them I had a problem in the rectal/gluteal area. Um, okay dad. I work at a med school. They will know.
Why am I so embarrassed? Please tell me other people have ass surgery. To top it off the parts of the colon he could get to (the pain was too much for him to even go half as far as he needed to), were red and inflammed so he took three biopsies (did I mention I was NOT sedated) to test for ulcerative colitis. He said he'd call me when he got the results. I see the ass surgeon on the 17th.
