Oh I'm rather fidgity today.
Anybody ever had an ultrasound?
It will be new to me.
Back in the olden days when I was having babies, they only did them if they had some pressing question about the baby or babies as the case may have been. So I managed to slide right by this bit of technology during my childbearing years.
But now, the doctor wants to get a picture of my lovely fibroids.... and just how large and obtrusive ARE they anyway?
The preparation for the test seems begnign enough. Drink a quart of water, a couple of hours beforehand and do not visit the loo till after the test. I think I can do that.
Or it seems doable 30 minutes before I am to start imbibing said H2O.
I am trying to stay calm. I did almost an hour's worth of yoga this morning. Hoping to arrive at the facilities in a Zen like state. When in fact there is a primal part of me that is gibbering in a nervous fit of some sort. I don't open that door, no matter how odd the noises get that are coming from inside.
I am sure it will all be just no big deal. But I can't be SURE of that you see until quarter past 12 noon today when the whole thing will most likely be over.
My body is calm and still, except for my toes which are wriggling in the most erratic way. I think they are itching to make a run for it. Though where they would take me, I cannot say.
Enough....
