Thank you

Yes today was the day to run the police road blocks between 3 counties to get to the hospital.
But it was Monsoon season today, the rain was horrendous, difficult to even see when driving. In consequence, there were no police!!!!
I was apprehensive. Very. I had prepared one side of a sheet of typewritten notes, about the event, more or less as I wrote on here, but with a few more gory details I had spared this thread. We talked for about three quarters of an hour. And he asked questions. He realised because of the incompetent pessary change nurse, who caused such trauma to my body, that it was not wise to examine me at this point, because I and my body have not recovered from it. He was satisfied from my answers that it would be fine to wait until the next due pessary change in February. He was dictating a letter to my surgery recommending I be prescribed oestrogen, to try and strengthen and repair the tissues before the hospital took the pessary out next time. And the hospital will now take over my care and change my pessary for me henceforth.
He was a very nice man (why are all gynaecologists men? All those are that I have seen anyway), and he spent a lot of time putting me at ease, and reassuring me. And we had a conversation about cochlear implants because his mum was having the cochlear op soon and he wanted to know about it from a cochlear implantee.
So, I am relieved and happy with how today went, but if I have any problems in the meantime, before February, then I get back in touch.
I was so tired when I got back home I went to bed, and have been sleeping these last 5 hours.
Just going to make a cuppa, and I will read the posts in today's thread.
