And the adventures continue!!!

Staying on top of my health is a priority.

Maintenance and prevention is key.

A couple abnormal PAPs (yes please censor if you need to this is getting personal) and I had part of my cervical lining removed.

I did several things to prepare.

Personally, things like this do not bother me. I find a dental visit more traumatizing.

And if these little nasty cells are going to cause any issues...well sooner I know the better and they are better out then in.

I was prepared and it relaxed any anxiety I may have (which is minimal).

If you can survive death in an adrenal crisis with SKY ROCKEtiNG POTASSIUM...let's be serious...this is nothing.

✅ Doctor ordered extra meds - DONE

✅ ATIVAN to relax - DONE

✅ ADVOCATE along for the ride - DONE

✅ EMERGENCY syringe prepared (just in case) - DONE

Upon arrival, I was told the freezing would increase my heart rate and cause panic attack responses to the body. I expressed my concern about the increase of metabolism may have on my cortisol levels although I took the recommended extra dose.

NO PROBLEM - BACKUP PLAN FOR FREEZING.

Well the backup plan didn't freeze which led to intense pain, you know where.

Super dose this girl with freezing to get the job done.

Two new areas of concern were noted so biopsies were taken.

I will worry about that when and if there is a concern.

Again...better to know than not to know.

My doctor always told me if an infection or cancer becomes a concern for you...we will know early because you will be in an adrenal crisis before it is very serious.

HOT DOG!!! Finally a perk of Addison's Disease.

This girl goes into crisis before a bladder infection gets out of control.

Now to rest, heal and keep living my life!!
