Worst Pain EVER!


Today was the day for the endo scratch.  I was expecting a little bit of cramping during the procedure, but I was wrong.  It started out like any normal pap smear but then I felt EXTREME cramping!  I literally start crying out, Oh God!  Both the doctor and the nurse are yelling, "Breathe Leslie, breathe!  Take a deep breath and hold it in."  Easier said than done, I'm still sick with chest congestion!  It hurts to take deep breaths.  And this cramping is even worse!  Then I hear the doctor say, oh.. your contracting has pushed it out.  Pushed what out?  I can't help the contracting!  It HURTS!!  I just kept saying, please let this be over!  After a few minutes whatever was being done down there was over.  Whew.  Immediate relief.  I stay laying down for a few minutes because my face is so flush I'd probably faint if I tried to get up.  The doctor says, I know it's painful.. that's why I make it an option for my patient.  Option?!  I replied, I don't remember this being an option.  Why didn't you tell me before the procedure that it's optional?  He says, I didn't?  Ohhh funny guy.. gotta love him!  Anyway, it was over.  On my mental checklist I check off "Endo scrape".  Done!  Next!!  And please don't ever make me have to put this back on my mental checklist!!
