I got a call from the nurse on Thursday, and she told me that I have severe dysplasia and that I must have a LEEP and cone biopsy done. I am scheduled for the 19th and a little nervous about the whole thing. She said that it should be treated with this procedure, but that they will send the biopsy to the lab to make sure they get it all.

I think...

Appt. went okay today

01 November 2010
Posted by ChristineMarie   in My Life
Well, I had the procedure done today and it went okay. I will not know anything until the end of the week, but the doctor did not seem too worried about it so maybe everything will be okay. I always expect the worst, that way I am prepared. So, hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised by the results.

Well, I put off going to the doctor as much as possible. I have had four abnormal paps now, and I am sure that it has to do with the abuse. I have heard a couple of times that childhood sexual abuse can raise the risk of cervical cancer, not sure if that is accurate or not but wouldn't doubt it. I was diagnosed with dysplasia years ago and was...

Still getting prank calls

24 October 2010
Posted by ChristineMarie   in My Life
Well, I got that first prank call that caused me to panic, I got another call from the same person on the way to therapy on Wed. He didn't say anything this time, he just sit there. I told him not to call me again and hung up. I was still in a panic when I went to therapy and my t calmed me down. I hadn't got another call until today. He...

I overreacted

19 October 2010
Posted by ChristineMarie   in My Life
I know that I overreacted to that phone call. Of course, it is understandable that it triggered me. I have been anxious all day even though I keep telling myself that it was only a random call. Still, I called the police and asked them if they could trace it for me, he said that he would ask his lieutenant but he has not called me back. Even if it...

Okay, I am just going to try to calm myself down. I almost called my husband and realized that he will not answer his phone at work, posted here on the forums, then I thought that I would email my t, and ask him if my fears about this phone call are rational or not, and what I should do. If the fears are irrational, ask him to calm me down. Then...

How do I know where the line is between a real reason to be scared and my overactive paranoia? Okay, so I am here journaling/blogging whatever, and I get a call that is restricted. I didn't think too much about it because I have gotten them before and they are usually doctor's offices or the social security department for my daughter. I...

Today was horrible

08 October 2010
Posted by ChristineMarie   in My Life
Today was so horrible, the little girl that I have been so worried about was taken today by DHS. I had decided earlier in the week that I would not offer to take her, but then they showed up. I knew what they were there for, and I changed my mind. I couldn't just let her go without saying something, without offering, so I mentioned that I...

Dreading next week

02 October 2010
Posted by ChristineMarie   in My Life
I keep going over this, but it is bothering me. Next week is going to suck, being with this child and knowing what is about to happen. If it is not too difficult, I want to help, but I don't want to have to deal with her family. I do not want my family to be affected negatively because of this child, but scared to think about what is going to...

Another rough week at work

02 October 2010
Posted by ChristineMarie   in My Life
Well, the little girl that I have been worried about was placed in a different home, and I don't know what DHS was thinking because they placed her in a home with another family I know who had child abuse allegations previously brought up against them. We found out that something is going to happen this Thursday, she is either going to be...
