Squirm.

Two words I do not EVER WANT TO HEAR AGAIN:

Vaginal ultrasound.


I feel like one of these. Oh, and apparently if you carved me up, I'd make a great foie gras. Sigh.

Was there goo? Darcy says there's lots of Goo with those...

[smileitsme.livejournal.com]

yuck.

Other than that - it was great talking with you. Hopefully will see you soon. :-)

There is more goo with an external ultrasound -- or maybe it just seems that way because it's smeared all over the outside of you!

[peacockharpy.livejournal.com]

Been there, done that. Four times now -- two per pregnancy. As I plaintively said to the tech, "Aren't you going to buy me a drink first?"

I get my external one tomorrow, though, and that's fun (though sticky and gooey).

(Also, did they tell you in advance it would be internal? One of my friends was told by her doctor, "Oh, you should have an ultrasound" and it wasn't until she saw the equipment that she realized that it would be internal! The tech said, "They never warn people...")

[morriganswitch.livejournal.com]

Oh, honey, I'm SO SORRY. HUGS!

I know how much they hurt, and after having five or six from my last ovarian cyst surgery, I now have great pity for anyone who ever had sex with Ron Jeremy.

[jenny-fur.livejournal.com]

Yah they are teh suq I've had three in the past year.

[gretchen2149.livejournal.com]

{{{{hugs}}}} I had to have one a few years ago - couldn't figure out why my back hurt so bad that I walked with a definite list to one side. (It was just a cyst that went away all by itself not too long afterwards.) No warning about it being internal either, but the bigger surprise to me was - the tech was a guy! I have a female ob-gyn for many reasons, & to have a young gentleman there was not making me happy.

Yikes! hun. {{hugs}} Sometimes it just sucks massively being a woman. Case in point..breast exams **headdesk** not to mention the yearly exam (could your warm those frelling thing??!!)

Anyway, gently put your feet up, cover self in blankie and have some chocolate. {{hugs}} again.

[autumnyte.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Sorry about the trauma, and about your liver.

I'm thinking about you.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Uh huh.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, I got both! Goo galore! WOO!

Eurgh.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Thanks. And I SWEAR I'm not avoiding you! I'm just ass-over-teakettle with corsetry and every time I go to call you back, it's 3am. I suck.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, indeed you shall, my love! WOOT!

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

My tech-- who was absolutely lovely!-- said, "Oh, they didn't tell you?" "No!" And then one of us brought up that hm, would I have come if they had? (I don't remember which of us-- it's a blur.)

At least she handed the wand to me and told me to put it in myself. But no. No drinks. No dinner. Not even an 8x10 glossy. She did show me my ovaries, though. I got to wave to them! And then Mom bought me a consolatory lunch.

I got several external ones, too. Much goo. Ick.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Oh, G-d, yeah. There's a stand-up routine in there somewhere.

"It will NOT come out my BELLY BUTTON, so STOP TRYING!"

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

EURGH!

At least my tech was delightful. She asked me how I was when I came in, and I replied, "Spiffy!" So she called me Spiffy the rest of the exam.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

For THAT, I think I would have killed someone. Those tests are stressful enough! You put a guy there in front of me, and he's going down. And NOT in a nudge-nudge-wink-wink kinda way!

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

I treated myself to a four-hour nap. That was just what I needed. So you know what I have to do know? Corsetry. WHAT a surprise.

Hm. But there may have to be chocolate, too. That's an EXCELLENT idea.

[ysobelle.livejournal.com]

Thank you, gorgeous. And you know I'm following your drama, too, right? I'm rooting for you!

Next step is getting the results tomorrow, then calling a nutritionist. THEN we're off to the races. I'm hoping I can tackle the PCOS-- if I do, indeed, have it-- and the liver AND my weight all in one without more drugs or anything more radical.

I'm not going to look at anyother cuts or comments here.

[irishcoyote.livejournal.com]

Just say. Ewch. Sorry. and
Didn't you say something about slugging the next fool to photo you? An ultra sound is a type of photo, eh?

[morriganswitch.livejournal.com]

LOL.

Too funny.

[imafon.livejournal.com]

Believe it or not, there are worse words in the English language...colonoscopy, anal probe, rectal bag...LOL!

Sorry, had to laugh, cause otherwise I'd cry for you.

Been there, done that...Thankfully, I have no more offending organs to annoy me. :)

There is ALWAYS a silver lining.

[littleharp3.livejournal.com]

See, when I had one last week in the ER it didnt bother me. Guess I'm strange huh?

I didnt get to see my ovaries though, and I wanted to. :(

[ktnboo.livejournal.com]

at this point whenever they tell me they are going to do a pelvic u/s, I know they are going to end up doing a trans-vag. They just goop up your tummy for no good gd reason. They KNOW they're going to try to make the "internal ultrasound probe" come out your eyeballs. I think that whole water thing is just to keep you off balance.
