Ultrasounds I have had in the past brought good news of life. They showed me my 3 beautiful and healthy babies before they were born. They were an exciting time.
Of course, there were also other ultrasounds in my life. The ultrasounds that showed first a beating heart and then confirmed a miscarriage. And, now I face two more ultrasounds that have nothing to do with life forming inside of me, at least not the kind of life I want inside of me.
Woke up this morning and drove in the rain to my very first mammogram appointment. No, there wasn't any reason to be alarmed or concerned. It was merely routine. I went through the test just fine and then was asked to wait. Before I knew it, the doctor came in and told me I would need to return for an ultrasound as he thought there is a cyst. What? I didn't expect them to find anything.
True! A cyst is considered harmless, and they are not anticipating anything unexpected. Still, I cried all the way home.
On Monday, I will be left to get not only this ultrasound but other tests for other female issues I care not to discuss on a blog. I feel as though my body has betrayed me. It has been so loyal to me most of my life. Why would my body choose to betray me now?
If anyone is actually reading this blog. I covet your prayers for safety and for good results come Monday, May 17. My first round of tests is at 10:00 a.m. CST. Then, the 2:00 ultrasound.
