Today I had a follow-up ultrasound to check on the cyst on my left ovary. No problem. I have Wednesday mornings off because I work the late shift at the reference desk. I try to schedule all my errands and appointments on Wednesday mornings. Last time I had the ultrasound done, there was no opening at my doctor's location, so they scheduled me to be 'sounded' at their Pittsford office.
I just assumed today's appointment was at the same location. What was I thinking! I drove clear over to the east side of the city with my full bladder only to discover that I was supposed to be at the Gates office! Yikes! Fortunately for me, the people in the Pittsford facility totally took care of me and let me get my ultrasound there despite my goof. How generous and kind.
Turns out it was a good thing. My body is so twisted and disturbed from all the chemo, radiation and surgery, that it takes a special technique to get a clear picture of an ovary that is definitely not in the normal location and definitely does not want to cooperate. Since this woman had done my last one, she remembered what she had to do to capture the information necessary. She even had me pushing my side and rolling a bit on a slant to get the shot. Sometimes the good Lord watches over you despite your silliness.
Hopefully, the doctor will just call and say no change, and I can set that aside for awhile longer.
