A little over a year ago, I had a little blood in my urine...but no pain at all. At first I thought it might be a UTI. Went to my GYN, peed in a cup, no infection...they sent me on my way and said to keep them posted on my condition for the next few days. Well, things got worse, my urine looked like cranberry juice and I was getting scared. One morning, I started crying as my husband and I got ready for work. I told him I was scared because I'd been peeing blood for a week and didn't feel good. Rather than offer comfort and suggest he take me to the emergency room. He said "You're ALWAYS sick!" Which made me even more upset. He left for work and, without him knowing, rather than go to work, I drove myself to the emergency room and had tests run. They did all kinds of tests. The CT scan showed a tiny kidney stone, and a cyst on my right ovary. A few days later when the cultures came back on my urine they put me on antibiotics for a bad infection that wouldn't show up on the GYN office visit pee test. After the infection cleared up my GYN had an ovary ultrasound ordered and found that I had a mass on my right ovary the size of a tennis ball that required a total hysterectomy. Once he got in there he found extensive endometreosis, more cysts, and everything stuck down because of the endo. So, my husband finally appologized (kind of) for saying "You're ALWAYS sick!" Although I hate to wish anything bad on anyone...sometimes I wish he knew exactly what I went through. It still makes me cry when I think of how I was treated by him that day when I was so sick.
