This post will be considered TMI (Too Much Information) by some and will contain topics of menstrual bleeding. You have been warned so go back now if you don't want to hear it.

Remember how I had this amazing talent to bleed for weeks and not die? Well I have still been dealing with that having constant doctor appointments, test and more hormones than I can count. With the aid of all the medication my uterine lining finally thinned enough that they could get a clearer view and they found two growths that have vessels. The doctor is pretty confident that they are just obnoxious polyps, really obnoxious polyps. He did say it is abnormal that such small growths would cause such extensive trouble but I guess I would have been more surprised if it was just totally normal. I can't have anything the easy way right?!
Anyway we finally had an answer and I was glad for that and felt confident that we could now "fix" it/me. So surgery was scheduled for Nov. 14 and I was supposed to start taking a hormone 10 days out to suppressing the bleeding to make surgery easier. Begrudgingly but hopeful I started taking the hormone again. The one that makes me feel like I'm and emotional roller coaster and not the kind at a fun theme park, Noo like a traveling carnival rickety type roller coaster that makes you unsure if you will survive it.
Now here I am the day before surgery and thinking I made it, in the clear and things are going to get better soon. In true Savanna style I had to complicate things. Today I started bleeding. I took the hormones just like I was suppose to and still it has happened. My doctor new that was a possibility because it happened before but he thought we had figured out just the right hormone and just the right dose.
Surgery is still happening tomorrow but this will complicate things. I feel like this entire ordeal has turned into one of those stories by Laura Numeroff. If Savanna sees a doctor he will want to prescribe her something. If she takes that medication it will not work and she will be referred to a surgeon and if she sees a surgeon he will most certainly want to operate...
So, that's the update!
To stay positive I have been thinking about this and it helps!
A good day is a good day.
A bad day is a good story.
At the end of the day it's all good.
