No Lupus

By the way, the doctor who originally sent me in for Lupus testing called me the other day. I don't have Lupus. My other OB, the one who thought that I did, is apparently an idiot and misread the tests results...again. He's done that a lot lately. So, I fired him. Three weeks before my yearly check-up. I was affraid he'd tell me I had cancer next...and then I wouldn't. I can't take any more drama. I'm glad I didn't give this Lupus thing a whole lot of thought. Seriously, I feel like the universe keeps saying...

Phsych!

If it could get worse...just wait, it will.

Could it get any worse? Sure. It always can. It always does. I got a call Tuesday (in the midst of this chaos and drama called my family) about some blood work my new OB sent me in for regarding the fact that my mom has mini strokes. He wanted to check for a clotting disorder, just in case. If I choose to get pregnant again, this is something they would need to know. So I went. Nothing was wrong with me, and I knew it. I mean, what are the odds? Apparently pretty freaking good.

“Some of the test came back abnormal”
“Abnormal for what?”
“Well it appears that you may have Lupus.”

Oh, is that it? [She asks herself sarcastically] Why not? After all, look at my odds for anything bad lately. So in the last thirteen months I’ve gotten pregnant, had a perfect daughter, got gall bladder disease, had the said gall removed (therefore I have no more gall), got pregnant with a son, was told son was abnormal, had son die, gave birth to dead son, was told son had Down Syndrome and now it looks like I might have Lupus! I mean why not? Bring it on. Because right now I feel like if it could go wrong, it probably will.
