I have a very busy weekend ahead.
Saturday Taylor has soccer and dance both!!! So we’ll be running around all day Saturday.
Tonight (Friday) we are going to Boone Hall for their Fright Night. They have a haunted house, a haunted hayride and a haunted corn field.
It’s crazy because I have lived in Charleston ALL of my life but I have never been! So I’m really looking forward to going!!! Plus we are going with a big group of friends so even if it isn’t scary, we’ll still have fun.
Yesterday we went to see Couple’s Retreat. I didn’t really want to see if but Jason did so we went. It was pretty funny!
I actually had off yesterday because Wed I had to have a procedure called a LEEP.
I am taking part in a research study on HPV at MUSC. I joined the study because they give you the vaccine for free and they compensate you for your time.
They did a pap smear which came back irregular so they decided to do biopsies. No big deal.
Well when the biopsies came back they said I had level 3 dysplasia. I wasn’t really sure what that meant so I asked the dr. and she explained that cell just don’t go from zero to caner they go through stages. Most women come back with a mild level of dysplasia which is a level one. Level 3 is severe dysplasia and the stage right before cancer. Or at least that’s the way I understood her.
Now that doesn’t mean I have cancer or even that im going to get caner.
The did the LEEP procedure which is when they go in and actually cut off some of your cervix (OUCH!!) they do this in hopes of getting all of the abnormal cells.
The procedure really wasn’t too bad, the worst part was when they used the needle to numb me up!! Oh the cramps were bad!!! But after that I didn’t feel anything.
I was surprised when I saw the amount they cut off but the Doc assured me that they actually only took a small piece. Now they will send off what they took and test it to see if it has negative or positive margins. If the margins are negative that means they got all the bad cells. If the margins are positive they will go back in about 6 weeks, after I heal from the last procedure and do it again to try to get it all.
At first I was really worried but after having the Doc explain everything to me and talking to other women that have had it done or who work in GYN offices, im not really worried anymore. The chances of it EVER turning in to cancer are pretty slim. And as long as I continue to go to the DR. on a regular basis and am monitored correctly they can catch anything way before it gets bad.

The worst part of it all is i cant have sex for FOUR WEEKS!!!! I cant believe its going to take that long to heal!!! Sucks for me : (
So I went after work on Wed. to have it done and was just going to take the bus back to the car like I usually do. But right before the procedure Jason was txtin me and telling me how he felt bad he wasn’t there. I told him not to worry and I would be fine but he insisted on rushing out of work and driving ALL the way downtown so he could pick me up. It was really sweet and made me feel good that he was thinking about me and didn’t want me to ride the bus all uncomfortable.
Oh earlier in the week he also sent me one of the most beautiful bouquet of flowers I have ever seen!!! I told him after we got married I never wanted roses again. I had fallen in love with the Tiger Lilies in my wedding bouquet and decided that while roses are beautiful my new flower is the tiger lily (I even plan on getting a tiger lily tattoo to symbolize our marriage, corny I know, but thats what you get when you have a husband thats covered in them) So anyway I THOUGHT I was doing him a favor since roses are so expense but after I saw the bouquet he got I think I was wrong!! They are not tiger lilies, he called and asked for those but they didn’t have any (wtf?) so he got regular lilies instead. I am NOT complaining!!! They are yellow and orange, which are my favorite fall colors, and I put them in our foyer along with some of my other fall decorations and it looks amazing!!! I’ll have pics later of how I have it set up!! This isn’t a great pic of them because it was taken at work on my phone so Ill post more later.
