Back in 2005, I was having such awful pains on a Thursday evening. I figured it was cramps or something bad I ate, or I pulled something at yoga on Thursday eve (I know yoga should be gentle, not pushing yourself to pain). I was in agonizing pain all weekend. I even made it through Monday on a field trip with my third graders to the Festival of Cultures (one of last year’s students said it was THE BEST field trip ever!). By the time we got back to school, the chaperones took their children, and another teacher dismissed my final 4 students (after an unplanned fire drill). I then rushed to the doctor’s office. My primary was not available, so her colleague sent me on to the hospital. At the hospital 5 pm Monday, I waited, was given a CT at 10 pm and an ultrasound at 3am which proved I had a 13cm fibroid in my abdomen. 5pm Tuesday the Doc on call showed up and shook his head when I mentioned my wedding in 6 weeks. He and another doc who suggested I wait until AFTER the wedding if I could tolerate it (NOT!) were no good.
Finally, my savior, Dr. Condevaux came in and rearranged her schedule to remove my uterus and cervix at 1 pm on Wednesday. She thought I wanted a second opinion to find out if I could keep my lady parts. That wasn't it at all, I needed someone wonderful, understanding, and fabulous! I kept my ovaries, so no hormone worries, and no more periods!!! I have the best of both worlds.
It's been several years and I still visit Dr. Condevaux for check ups. Everyone in her office is fabulous!
