Hi guys! So it's been 8 weeks since surgery, crazy! Time has gone by very fast and very slow at the same time. Anyways, I had to get a few tests done in order to determine if my body is ready to have this ileostomy reversal surgery. Test #1 was a flexible sigmoidoscopy. This test … Continue reading Tests →

I wrote this letter as an email to my favorite receptionist from my previous fertility clinic yesterday (hers is the only email address I have available to me). I also printed a copy and mailed it to their administrative headquarters. In doing so my hope is to raise awareness so that my previous doctor and … Continue reading A letter to my previous fertility clinic… →

Well...I don't even know where to begin, so I'm just going to go in the order of whatever my brain spits out first. We had appointments with Dr. Miller and Park this week.

I pray this is the best birthday present ever and it brings me relief from years of pain and even more so that it brings us our baby. I have a kick ass surgical … Continue reading Tomorrow is the big day →

Yesterday I had my colonoscopy with Dr. Park and the news isn’t good...unfortunately they found a 6 inch mass consistent with endometriosis on my rectum. I’m not surprised because I have so much pain and this explains it, but I just didn’t expect this. An average rectum is about 8 inches long so that means … Continue reading Colonoscopy report →

Hi guys, Well it's been a bit, life has been a little crazy and it's about to get even crazier. Today was bloodwork and physical with my primary doctor for surgery clearance (even though this is my 3rd surgery in 2 years...). Friday is colonoscopy with Dr.Park (full moon and Friday the 13th, yikes!) and … Continue reading Procedures and pokes and pumpkins… oh my! →
