Bakas

Bakas in the Filipino language means print, mark, trace, trail or vestige. This blog, then, records all those that left their marks or my impressions on anything under the sun :)

another ultrasound

For the past year, my left ovary has been a source of
problem. Although the cyst in it has already been removed, my doctor
continued to put me on medication to postpone or prevent its
recurrence. Endometriosis is known to recur.

But for the first time yesterday, my left ovary was commended
by the sonologist. She said that I have a good left ovary. Since I
have retroverted uterus, I thought that she was mistaken, and so I
clarified if she meant the right one. She said that she meant the one
operated on because it has many cells and that I could surely have
children. As usual, I told her that I didn't even have a boyfriend
for that :)

I waited for more than three hours for my turn at the
ultrasound. This is one of my longest wait at the hospital.

And I got more nervous as I waited for my turn. The
procedure is painful and I would really rather not go through it. I
was supposed to have the ultasound three weeks ago but I told my
doctor that I would rather wait until I got better from my cough,
fever and colds.

My cough left me truly only after another whole day of rest
Saturday last week. My rest on the Saturday before that (October 7)
enabled me to regain my voice. I've never really appreciated the
power of resting until last week. If I had heeded the doctor's advice
to take 1-2 days off work, I might have been well a lot earlier.
