“All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” Walt Disney
Come on vacation!!!!
Category: Our trip to Disney World
I get to go to Disney with a clear head!
I received a call from the doctor this morning with the results of the endometrial biopsy. There is no cancer! They were not fully normal but for the purposes of my worry level they were fantastic! What has been identified is an endometrial polyp. This little bugger causes its own issues and in a small percentage of the time can turn to something more. For my purposes right now, I will go to Disney with my family knowing that I am healthy! For this, I am extremely thankful!
What happens when I return? I have to think about this. I will have to repeat the pelvic ultrasound in 2-3 months to once again check on the ovarian cysts. It would be nice if they would go away already! I will deal with that when needed.
As for the polyp, I do have issues that this would cause. They recommend an endometrial ablation procedure to remove it. I am not going into detail about the symptoms of or the procedure to get rid of the polyp. If you are interested click one of the colored links.
For now I can focus on something really important, the quickly approaching Disney trip! We received our packet from the Disney Express. This is the first time we are staying at a Disney resort so it is the first time having to arrange for a pick up. I am so far very impressed with the organization and professionalism of everyone we have talked to from the initial reservation, to meal planning to now the express representatives. There are so many companies who have such poor service, it is refreshing to deal with one who really gets it!
The Happiest place on earth! Have a magical day!
So long 2012
With the end of the year approaching, everywhere you turn you see recaps. I did a medical recap not too long ago and quit honestly am not too interested in reliving this year. Instead I am looking fully forward to what I hope will be a better year.
Making a statement like that always makes me pause for a second because of how close I was to cancer (according to the pathology reports). I had the bilateral prophylactic mastectomy to prevent cancer since I was high risk but until we received those results showing cancer markers, well we had no clue just how close I was. So, with that said the end results made 2012 a good year I suppose and I guess I should recognize that good.
The hope for 2013, well they are filled with no surgery, no medical scares and good times with my family. I do need to get through the follow-up Ultrasound next week to check on the complex cyst. Hopefully that shows that it took care of itself and onward we will move.
One super bright spot that we have all been looking forward to for some time is our trip to Disney World! We are in the home stretch and can begin an official countdown in the next week or so. My girls do love official countdowns :-). We are all really looking forward to this trip! We are staying at The Animal Kingdom Villas-Kidani, right over the Savannah. How thrilled with the girls be seeing the animals come close to the balcony.
Since we are staying in Disney we also did the meal package. It is nice going and knowing that almost everything is prepaid. We will be dinning with the Princesses, Mickey and crew, Chip and Dale and at the new Be Our Guest Restaurant. Planning this trip, making the dinning reservations were a nice distraction while I was recovering from surgery. Finally coming close to the actual experience knowing how much we are all looking forward to it, well what can I say that Disney does not? It is the happiest place on earth!
