Warning, kinda gross girlie stuff.
I visited my OB/gyn today because I have periods from hell. He recommended endometrial ablation, which basically burns away the lining of the uterus. It is a minor day surgery that could make my periods disappear completely or at least make them substantially easier to deal with. For me, he said, there are no real negatives. (I believe this procedure is not recommended for anyone intending to have children.) If I have it done on Friday I will be back at work on Monday.
He had mentioned this before and I have researched it some and was instantly on board. I am not one to voluntarily undergo medical procedures, but I can't deal with having to be in the restroom every hour and ruining at least one outfit every single month.
So I am all set up to have this done in September.
I also visited my general practitioner regarding my gallbladder. (Two docs in one week is a miracle, I usually see one doc every two years.) I have an ultrasound on Monday and then will need to meet with a surgeon. I'm not so sure about gallbladder surgery. I don't want to give up a whole body part unless I am absolutely convinced that it what is causing my issues.

So sorry to hear about your gallbladder. :( I haven't had too many problems except that I still can't eat lettuce comfortably (weird huh?!?) and I don't eat fried stuff anyway but I've heard it could make you feel sick if you do after gallbladder removal.
Hope the ablation goes smoothly. And no period? Bonus! ;)
