Chippity Chop
So I have to go to the hospital and get a catheter.
Can you believe it?! (See last Tuesday’s post on Dr. House.)
There’s a wee chance I’m overreacting (pun intended). Okay more than a wee chance, a huge chance, but it looks like I’m heading for minor surgery to remove a cyst on my ovary. Don’t they stuff all sorts of tubes in you for surgery? They did when my friend in LA had fibroids removed.
Anyway, my doctor’s on vacation so I won’t know more until later. Also, people keep asking if that’s why I had the miscarriage and…I have no idea. BUT I do have a great book recommendation for anyone who is interested in connecting with others who have experienced miscarriage: About What Was Lost – an anthology with 20 essays on miscarriage, healing, and hope.
Another writer recommended it to me the other day and I just got it in the mail along with this book (my friend's story is on page 113).

Good luck, Jenny! I sincerely doubt you'll need a catheter (or Dr. House), but I'll be sending you some light and warmth.
Love.

I'm thinking you'll skate by on the catheter too, but I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I hope all is better very soon.

I had a catheter with both kids (both c-sections) and I thought it was one of the greatest things. As someone with a notoriously small bladder who can never be too far from a bathroom, it was a welcome break from taking time to tinkle!
It would be a funny irony if you had to get one considering what you wrote! But hopefully it will not be necessary and the procedure will go well.
