Oh no how sad he was such a gorgeous moggy and love those baby blues

Thank you! We still can’t imagine what could haul off a big fat 15lb-er... perhaps a coyote ... but I’ve never seen any this close to home!

As soon as my sister shows up I'm going to the ER. Mom and Dad will stay and help Rosie. She has looked so forward to tonight I do not want to ruin it for her. I do know one thing, I will not leave that hospital until they remove the IUD device that was placed 9 months ago as a last resort and in hopes of shrinking the cysts. My doctors words were it was put in to buy time and if that did not work my insurance would approve a hysterectomy before 40. I had to leave it in 6 months, I've been in misery ever since. I will be 38 in September, I've been having problems since I was 32 and they have gotten worse over the years. I cannot and will not suffer for 2 more years.

Please keep us posted on your condition. We BYC are a family, and we care about you.

I’m praying for you now that your hospital sees the situation, and performs all that you need, to fix this problem permanently!

OMG Rebecca you need to go to emerg, you could have an artery bleed from that! Please go to emerg

Rebecca (and please my other US friends) please do not take this the wrong way as I love my neighbours to the south but you are a great nation, and I feel it’s horrible that people have to suffer because their insurance won’t approve it or cover it, or not within the scope of their policy.

It’s when I hear stories like this that I am so glad for our universal health care. Yes Kris and I both whine and complain about our respective provinces health care, but if something needs done it gets done, I have had a few of my family and many friends who required hysterectomies before they were 35 even-and got them.. All I have to do is go to emerg and a whole crap load of test gets done, whether I need them or not — specialist brought in, referrals… I pay $900/yr in taxes for this only because I am in an upper tax bracket, if one makes less than (I think $40k/yr) they pay nothing.

Of course YES we have high income tax and other taxes to pay for this, but for that I am extremely grateful. My father had a dissecting aorta 1 week after arriving home from AZ - we were so thankful he had it here and not the US even if he had his insurance it would still not likely have been enough to cover his intensive care oh I am sure he would have had just as great care as here, as I know you medical personnel are awesome, but the cost would likely have wiped out their savings even with insurance.

I wish everyone of my neighbours to the south could have the worry free healthcare I enjoy, it breaks my heart as a former Nurse hear stories like this. Our system has flaws like every system but it’s always been there when my family needed it No questions asked.

Rebecca please be very careful I am worried about you.

Here is a smile for you - oh darn it’s on my other phone - Curly and I were sharing a bagel (actually she was trying to steal it - then she pooped on my office chair haha!). I will post the pic. Of the bagel stealer not the poop!

I sure hope I haven’t offended anyone (I don’t normally stick my nose into things but as a nurse I feel strongly about some things )

X2 on all the sentiments and I'm also saddened that someone's insurance provider gets to determine their access to health care. I'm used to what pp calls "no questions asked" healthcare. My brother is getting his cataracts done soon and at no point has he or anyone else been distracted by insurance.

Well I'm back and a little loopy from the shot they gave me. I did not have a cyst rupture, I had the IUD puncture one that was growing around it. They removed the device thankfully at my insistence. September cannot come now soon enough. The er doc said I was a prime candidate for a Hysterotomy. I just do not need a emergency one.

Hopefully you will feel better in the meantime.
