Still Waiting, Thanks Covid-19

I was sent for an MRI and to see a urologist back in April because of some uterine fibroids, my OBGYN found a couple of small cysts in my bladder, and I am constantly leaking urine. At that time the urologist was investigating the cysts and to see if there might be another reason for my incontinence. She couldn’t find another cause and she did a biopsy from the one of the cysts.

I’m expecting my OBGYN to follow up with me on my MRI but when? That is the magical mystery question. While I’ve been waiting to hear back I’ve been feeling more bloated than ever, I’m fatter than I ever was and I look to be about eight months pregnant (from what I’ve read, uterine fibroids can give you that shape).

I know I can’t be the only person whose health care plans came to a screeching halt when the third wave of Covid-19 hit Nova Scotia. With my history of medical trauma though, the wait has become almost unbearable. I’m hesitant to reach out to my OBGYN directly right now because Covid-19 has thrown a wrench into their plans as well. I’m sure they wouldn’t be this far behind if they had a choice.

In the meantime, I did make an appointment with my GP for something else and she was at least able to tell me the results came in and there are no nasty surprises so I must simply wait. At least now I can wait without worrying myself sick.
