I got a plan, I got a plan, I got a plan HeyHeyHeyHey

Gotta love a girl with a plan! Can you tell I'm in a better mood? First, I am back to just one bcp a day, and the bleeding has stopped, which makes a huge difference. Then, I had my much awaited appointment today. The dr walked in the door and started to say "how are you?" He stopped and said that that is general a stupid question when walking in a room of a chronic pelvic pain patient. I told him that I would have said "good." My little guy is doing considerably better, other than this crap, things aren't too bad. Anyway, the appointment was pretty much to persuade me out of having him do a forth lap, but instead going to a specialist to see what he thinks. We chatted, he explained how he would not want to do a surgery that would need to be redone in 3 months by a specialist. He's right, and I respect him for telling me the truth. I think I fear that I will go to a specialist, and then it would be something that he could have done. Sometimes I worry I'm crazy, and all this is in my head. I think most pelvic pain people feel this way at one time or another. It is the nature of the condition. That "unseen" sickness. Anywho, I got an appointment with a dr who specializes in pelvic pain and IC in 2 weeks. That was so exciting. I am glad to not have to wait too long. I was fine with it, but not overly excited. But then, I got home and looked at there website. If you want, check it out. Here is a part of their mission statement...
At Las Colinas OB/GYN, we feel our patients should be made aware that QUALITY OF LIFE is something YOU deserve!
That is the kind of place where I want to be seen. I feel excited and positive, for the first time, in a long time. I'm not expecting a cure, because there isn't one. But I am looking forward to feeling better. I am super pumped and can't wait. Plus, my ob/gyn was given his name through the RE he uses, so I know I have that connection if/when I need it.
