Gynecology revisited



Recommended Posts

Here in Australia, a common nickname for a vagina is "fanny" - so it used to crack us up as kids to hear Americans say they fell on theirs, especially guys!!

Other nicknames heard around these parts:

snatch

pussy

The Y

My 5yo DS said to me the other day ""mum where's your penis?" I explained that as a girl, I didn't have one, I had a vagina instead. Puzzled, he said "so how does your wee get out?" It was hard not to laugh.

Here's antoher one for you: Last night we were looking at his baby scrapbook, and he wanted to see a photo of the tunnel he came out of. Apparently DH told him that's how the babies get out. We read the scrapbook again tonight, and he wanted to know what colour it was in the tunnel, and what it was like in there. Time to borrow the book "Where do babies come from?" LOL!!

I had My first colonoscopy (sp?) at 32. 50 is the normal age, but since my Grandmother and 3 of her siblings died at 52 from colon cancer, the Dr's told my Mum to be tested at 42 (the fecal test are really unrealable) she had 3 pre cancer polyps, so the Dr's told all my siblings and myself to be tested at 32. Thank God because I also had 2 pre cancer polyps removed (so did my sister) . The Dr said if I had waited until 50 it would have been too late.

I can't wait for a hystertomy (sp?), My Dr's will probable give me one, but the do not usally take your cervix and they only take the ovaries if they really have to. Taking the cervix can sometimes lead to painfull intercourse. The ovaries control hormon production, so if they take them it's instant menopause, no waiting. If they just take the uterious, no periods, no b.c. , no cramps ....please sign me up!

P.S.

We call it "coozie".

My friend and her daughter call it a bo bo. I guess the daughter is very sensitive, so they buy her summers eve to clean with, and they call it bo bo soap.

My daughter and I just call the whole area her pee pee.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
