Taking the Good with the Bad

It's been a hell of a week.  First with the Dr. appts, news about the hair loss, 4 birthdays, new phone, transferring the old phone to the Niece and challenges to the love life... One woman at work said she wanted to be me because I'm always doing something. Quite frankly, I'm tired, which was the whole point anyway.

I had a heck of a time wiping the old phone and setting it up for my Niece, but she's happy as a clam and already face timing and texting her Auntie up a storm.  I gave her my brand new ear buds from my new iPhone, but she says they don't work on her phone. Hmmm...that I find unusual.  Like to test that out, and I should've before they left. Ah well.

I got most of the blood work back and my Kidneys are back to normal, my iron is a little low and my cholesterol a little high.  I started taking more specialized vitamins for my hair loss and low iron.  But the real news didn't come till Friday evening...just before 5.

Seems my pap smear came back abnormal.  Remember, this happened once before in 96/97. So, I have to go back in for a colposcopy...yeah, I'm not happy about it. This is where they go in with a big fat needle and numb my Uterine wall, take a tissue sample, etc.  Not happy about it, and while it is not the time to start worrying about cancer and all that other stuff, it is still scary.  I know 3 people battling cancer right now, and just lost a friend a couple of months ago.  Your mind can't help but jump to conclusions. I was lucky last time, so I have to hold to that and just hope I have one of those things that test abnormally.  UGH!!!

Note to self...Don't forget to pop a couple of pain pills ahead of time. Oh, and buy some grannie panties...don't think I have any.  FRACK! Welcome to 50!
