A stressful appointment (probably)

Well, a bit later on, me and my wife Annie (or MommyBabou for the intimate) will be going to see the gynecologist. Without going into details, the way we see it, her only option is a hysterectomy. Like she says, her life is "ruled by [her] periods". And this has been going on for years. She tried many things that do not work or turns out being dangerous for her, but recently we've found out that her uterus is Retroflexed. Again, to quote her from her LJ: "Retroflexed uterus means either your uterus is tilted backwards or that it is bent on itself somewhat or a literally folded in half. Or you can get ambitious and have a uterus that is folded in half and very titled backward!". That last part, that's how hers is.

So anyway, hopefully the appointment will go smoothly. The stressful thing about it is that no matter what the doctor says, the end-result is not pleasing. He will either agree that Annie needs a hysterectomy to fix her, which is not very pleasant and will have side effects of their own, or the doctor will disagree, in which case we will have a fight in out hands. Yay!... :-/

I'll keep you posted on the results...
