Last Thursday I noticed a minor pain that I couldn’t identify in my core. I thank yoga for that. If it weren’t for yoga I wouldn’t have been in tune with myself and listened. The pain continued to get worse over the weekend and I went to the doctor on Monday.
Since the best doctor in the world left me and moved north, I’ve been in search of another. I think I found her…and by I, I mean my husband found her. There is a clinic that is less than a mile away from our house. Almost a year ago we showed up at their doorstep. It was my husbands birthday and he needed stitches. I didn’t want him to have to spend hours on his birthday in the ER waiting for stitches so we took a chance and showed up at the clinic minutes before they closed their doors. We hadn’t been seen there before and they took him in and stitched him up without question. I didn’t have all of his information with and it didn’t matter, they were there to help! I’ve been a fan of this clinic ever since.
Seeing how we rarely visit the doctor, finding a new one hasn’t been a top priority. When this pain came on I thought it was my appendix. Because of the urgency my husband started looking around for a doctor. He started at this clinic close to our house and found a new doctor taking new patience. The plus is she’s a family doctor, my entire family will be able to be cared for by her!
I liked her immediately, she exactly what I was looking for in a doctor. Friendly, knowledgeable and won’t turn to prescriptions right away, she takes more of a natural way to heal. She also didn’t send me away. She took my concerns seriously, which is great considering I don’t go in unless needed.
After some blood work and a little pee in the cup action she is sending me for an ultra sound. The appendix is officially ruled out via the blood sample taken but it could be gallbladder or perhaps cysts on my ovaries. If I said I wasn’t afraid I would be lying. Surgery isn’t something I wish to see in my future. But I also can’t live like this. No yoga or having painful workouts…no thank you. I can not back pedal after being so motivated!
As I drift to sleep tonight, waiting for the big reveal with the ultrasound tomorrow I think only of healing thoughts.
