ever have a complete rollercoaster emotion day?

[shirlene29]

I haven't...Im actually fairly convinced the tech was wrong

the brain ventricle thing is a non issue ..turns out 20% of the population has a variation of it w/o or with very minor symptoms...and I easily found the ventricles on a slightly older ultrasound..so it was likely transducer "reverb" obscuring it this go around...ironically this worried me far more than the other thing

if the sign was correctly identified then the baby has spina bifida...theres no question..and not the asymptomatic variety
but I found readily available statistics on this being inaccurately identified...so the referral to the peri was appropriate... *sigh*


I was really upset initially and a lot less so now..but man I've wrung out after all that

Don't give out hope, I know a man that merely 2 weeks ago was told they were 100% positive he had cancer, and he just went back for a checkup this week and they can't find a trace of it.

same happened at my work


doc tells schmuck he has incurable cancer

schmuck starts giving all his shit away

doc says, we fucked up, you'll be okay

schmuck tries to retrieve his shit

 

[shirlene29]

lol...mines the opposite..I got...
specialist, theres nothing there, we can't see it on ct scan or ultrasound

me, uhm... its palpable, you can see it with your eyes...
specialist, no its not
my reg dr, uhm, I can palp it and see it too...its really right there...its attached to the thyroid...it moves..and its taking skin with it, theres bad blood work to go with it

exploratory surgery...voila...cancer

sometimes i wonder if medicine is just stabbing around in the dark and guessing

I was also told as a kid that I had scoliosis, and I went to a different doctor and he was like WTF no you don't. Doctors are not intelligent people, for the most part.

 

[shirlene29]

yeah...I agree to a degree...I trust my primary...shes really good shit...and if shes alarmed by something doesnt bs me but she doesnt over-treat either..idk what im getting at

I like her I generally dont like the medical community...ironic really

I once misplaced my car keys. Thought they were on teh coffee table but they were really in my room. Boy that was an emotional 30 seconds.

 

[*ebony*]

yea, Its pretty frigging exhausting. TBO, i usually lock myself somewhere and burst into tears, sometimes i cant control em, and i just need to cry for really no good reason, but i always feel sooooo much better after.

They HAVE to be precautionary IMO
Hoping it all works out

 

[shirlene29]

agreed ortiz...because it would have to be managed differently if there is a problem

and thank you, I appreciate it

I know how you feel Shirlene. The frustration, the anger, the worry.
I hope your baby is born perfect, and it was all just a big mistake.
Just take it one day at a time.
