Why does life have to be so complicated
even though we watch butterflies, rainbows, and blue skies?
YES,
I think life is not just about who you meet and what you do… It is about how the people that you have the
gift of meeting, engaging, loving, endearing…
That is life… Is not just about people… It is about experiences.
Which brought me to the love of my life…. A day on a boat will change your life…That
is what makes us, us………………
So, as a 39 year old it is not fun to have health challenges
over the last several months…For someone my age, I would expect these
complications to weigh me down much later in life (such as menopause) Laying in
bed with concerns undiagnosed… It has been frustrating..
Between ObamaCare, changing or finding doctors that I have
worked with , or researching on the web, and struggling with the various
western doctors and methods was exhausting… to an understatement.
That said I found vibrant health through alternative
medicine and getting to the root of medical challenges, healing them, not just
treating them. Understanding
eastern and western medicine.
I choose to focus on the positive. So today brought that whole vision
together. I found myself at my 4th
follow up appointment at my now, new
gynocologlist that I am meeting for the first time after 3 visits. This is the
beauty of Western Medicince… Gotta love those Nurse Practicioners' invading
space I only allow my most coveted men (or man)…. They are as intense, compassionate, and qualified yet lack
the fair pay, and let me say most are women…. My NP was incredible.
Do not get me started on the 2 months I spent trying to
solidify the upgraded plan that I paid more for, so I could have care from
trusted doctors.
So here I am, listening to a gum smacking, tooth popping,
burbing chick, even though well dressed ,and
needing the same invasive exams as I, yet she sat there as impatient as I am .Making
me more anxious and wondering when this doctor will finally see me… And will
this encounter relieve me of the question and yearning I feel for Tim and
Timontin (My name for him).
I should start by saying that I spent 17 years with my first
gynecologist, the one who my mother still sees, and the one who delivered my
two younger brothers, whom I adore…
That said, now pressing against the gauntlet of my next
decade, with complicated heath challenges and not living close to my doc for frequent visits,, I finally decided to switch gynecologists. As also advised by my primary
doctor, family, and friends even though he was someone who had handled many of
my many complications.
So while my new doctor,
who fondly knew my first and only gynecologist, who performed 2
surgeries for endometriosis and was there for me through two miscarriages, I
still questioned the desire to explore a new-age female doctor who would find
the formula that would be the cure-all.
And so here I am, advised that other than surgery I have no
option other than birth control to manage my endometriosis that leads to
cervical or ovarian cancer… Birth
control reduces sexual interest, increases weight gain, nausea….And that
interrupts my daily spontaneity.
I am sorry… I am in a healthy sexual and lovely relationship
that I do not need birth control with. I cannot, nor my partner wants to have
children. I get the chemical benefits doctors try to convince me of: reduced
cysts, regular periods, less bleeding, decreased cramps, but they are actually
trying to convince me into a drug that would take away from the beautiful
relationship I now have. And many of the
I am not shut off to these potential benefits. But I am
super committed to exploring what could benefit my body naturally. Thank you
Western medicine. You keep us alive… That said I want to stay healthy each day
if I can with natural remedies that will stimulate growth and strength.
So I walk, I run, I ride, I love, I cook, I eat, I love…
