It Has Been a Year

   One year ago my body changed and brought me to a place I had never been before. Pain brought with it nausea, migraines and weight that just would not leave. I went through doctors who refused to look past the weight to address the problem wanting only to dull the symptom and send me away. It has been a year since a doctor was found that truly listened.
   I have been on the path of ovarian/uterine tumors for a year now..medication, surgery, diet and exercise brought me to this day. There have been ups and downs on this path, but the path has not come to an end. It is time to face the doctor for another look at the situation..determine how we are doing after a year.
   With hesitation the appointment will be made for unfortunately my symptoms, which resurface on occasion, have not subsided this time. The classroom portion of my Master Gardener's course is nearly complete freeing up my schedule.
    Admittedly, I have put it off as much as possible hoping once again it would settle giving me relief; it may still. So here we are, one year later, hoping the diagnosis will be okay and the solution simple. It is so hard to believe it has been a year.
