Gosh Liz we are sorry to hear of DD's continuing issues. Seems like they should do the general anesthetic. Good for you to be willing to travel if she needs you. Doctor's not listening? True. Sending good energy for a good outcome. We are thinking of you both.
More later.

130.5. Will I ever get there?
Shot day today. Took 2 mg. I think I will stick to once per week for a bit and see how that goes for me.
Woman's Bible study was good this morning.
Praying for DC1, mental health still in the crapper, taking more leave from work! I really hope they don't lose their job!
Off soon to get taxes done, yippy!

Liz, so sorry to hear about DD. I like the idea of taking her to the OR and doing general anesthesia for her biopsy. Praying for answers for you all!

It's so hard to be your own advocate too when you're scared. Is there someone who can go with her to push for what she wants? An assertive friend?
I know from experience how painful non-anesthetic IUD insertion is, I can't imagine if they were taking a biopsy down there.
Not much here today either. Jury duty is over. Whew! Almost had to go back today. I was one of 10 potential jurors instructed to report today, but literally while the judge was dismissing the other members of the jury pool the attorneys walked back into the courtroom to tell the judge they had selected the two alternates. Voila! I was excused.
210.9 - exactly the same as yesterday.
I got some nice and emotional personal messages on FB last night after posting my pics and a bit about my journey - mostly from people feeling shame for being on or considering being on a GLP1 medication and thanking me for being open.
Lakeland Terrier puppies have been born. 5 boys, 1 girl... Which means probably no girl puppy for me! Booooo, but I will be more than happy with a little boy, I think!
Can't "like" this post, but want to acknowledge that I hear your concern and frustration. I don't know what you mean that the situation was worse and no biopsy was possible, but that doesn't sound "good". Your DD is in my thoughts and prayers! Fingers crossed.

Blowing like stink today as my dad says! One of my new trees blew over, of course. Because nothing is easy.
I took a birthday plant and card over to my friend's this morning. She invited me to dinner with her family tonight at a great restaurant. Right now I am getting a full sniff-down from Kirby as I saw his girlfriend there. Makes it hard to type. Her dad opened a door to look outside and the wind blew a glass piece off her table to shatter on the floor. So the visit included participating in glass clean up...
I think I will continue with the office clean up today. i forgot my shot yesterday, so need to go do that too.
Take care, friends! (My typo turned that into "take credit, friends!" so do that too as autocorrect commands it!)
So now I am starting to freak out about my DD. Apparently the situation was worse and no biopsy was possible today. And all more painful for DD. Awakening so many fears partially fueled by history. The doctor did throw out the possibility of trying the procedure in an OR vs her office next time so more can be done (and DD can be anesthetized). I think DD will ask for that. My gut tells me this doctor has it in her head that she needs to preserve DD's fertility but DD doesn't want children. She needs to be adamant with her doctor but why don't they listen to women? I feel like my niece was not treated aggressively enough at first with her breast cancer for the same reason even though my niece had stressed that getting rid of the cancer trumped her desire to have another child and she had already accepted it. Just so frustrating to be a woman and not be listened to!
Off my soapbox now. But I am getting very concerned.
