Possibilities

1.
Today, I was asked at least 7 times if I was pregnant. "Are you sure you're not pregnant?" "Any chance you might be pregnant?" "You're positive" "We're going to take a test anyway, but we do have to ask."

Chance I'm pregnant: 0%
Last time I had my period: December
Why? Because I'm In MENOPAUSE, people!

Imagine if it came back positive? That would have been some blackout I didn't know I had.

2.
In other news, today, I learned that one of the possibly side effects (is that the right term) of going under anesthesia is dental damage. Apparently, some people have anatomy that makes it difficult for them to get intubated and it does some dental damage. I was on the phone with the anesthesiologist, and I said "Well, don't wreck my teeth!" He said he would try not to. Or something. Comforting.

Other possible side effects: heart attack, stroke, or death.

Possible things that could happen tomorrow, when I have a saline ultrasound: The catheter they insert into the cervix so they can squirt saline into my uterus -- they could go too far and accidentally perforate my uterus. So I have to keep a feel out for any pain after the procedure.

Can't WAIT for the surgery.

Promising thing about the surgery: Hospital is proud to announce they offer television in the recovery rooms free of charge. Thank you.
