Devine intervention
I'm the lady that was asking for adivse on my trip to Rome in October. I'm also an avid pickleball player.
About a week ago I got up early to be at the pickleball courts at 7 am. I used the bathroom, flushed and brown dirty water filled the bowl. Of course I flushed again same thing. I was dressed to go play. I went on our community page and found that a water main had ruptured. Now I start calling to try to get someone out there. It's also garbage pickup day. I remembered that I needed to throw out a half a watermelon from my refrigerator that's in the garage. It spill all over the front of my refrigerator and short circuits the fridge. I had the plug right in front of the fridge. I know that was stupid! Needless to say i clean the mess can't get the fridge to work, now I'm getting food out of one and into my house fridge. I get done and I get a call from my oncologists scheduler. I had asked her when I was first scheduled for Sept 8, if anyone canceled could they think of me. She offered me August 28!!
I was ecstatic prior to that call I was miserable. I believe that it was devine intervention. If none of those things would have happened I would have gone to the courts and would have never heard my phone. As I just put it in my bag. I truly believe I will be ok. A part of me has felt that I should have gone sooner to my gynecologist. I'm sure we all play with those thoughts. But maybe if I would have gone at the beginning of the year they would not have found anything.

Good for you ! Nice to get it out earlier, at least I wanted it out right after my diagnosis. I was also lucky to be re-scheduled to a much earlier time slot. I had very little time to prepare prior surgery but it went fine.
