Finally I went to the doctors yesterday for the long awaited results of my ultrasound and MRI. It’s good news and apart from fibroids and a few abnormalities with my insides, I have a clean bill of health.
The doctor said that I have four abnormalities which individually are often seen, but rarely in one person – trust me to be different! None are dangerous, so onward and upwards – a big weight off our minds.
Thanks for the messages of support I received via various sources regarding this.
Last year (our first in Canada) I was quite horrified to see lots of very large webs in the trees. Now, I am terrified of spiders and wondered just what kind of humongous spider could spin webs that sometimes were a foot in diameter.
With some trepidation I went onto the Internet to look up these strange beings. I could not find anything, so I changed my search criteria and found much to my surprise and relief they were not spiders but moths – phew.
Apparently the “web” contains all the larvae for the caterpillars and protects them from predators. The caterpillars hatch in the webs and then crawl out. They are called tent caterpillars.
So if you happen to spot large, horrible looking webs in the trees they are not huge man-eating spiders but harmless moths and caterpillars.
So, there you go, you learn something every day!
On another topic, I have finally heard back about my MRI/ultrasound stuff. I have an appointment in two weeks to see the gynaecologist to discuss the results, so hopefully I will get a resolution to this long-lasting saga.
