Forensikchic 528 Posted January 4, 2012 I went for a physical today with my pcp because I am training for a 5K. They did the whole workup, blood, urine, pap smear and later today a mammogram. During the pelvic exam, my doctor said to me, "its a lot easier to check your ovaries now that you are so much thinner"... LOL I never thought about that.. what an nsv for me! Makes even my doctors life easier. My blood pressure was 80/60... really low. He wasnt concerned though. He said it was good. I was dehydrated but they didnt give me an IV, just told me to get to drinking. I am cleared to keep running now that I have my asthma inhaler. I just feel so much healthier. 1 5McK reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SKCUNNINGHAM 298 Posted January 5, 2012 Sleeve4me - A kilometer is .62 miles, so a 5k is 3.1 miles and a 10k is 6.2 miles. Forensicchik - way to go with those easy to find ovaries! Good luck on the upcoming race and your training regime. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda 3.0 140 Posted January 7, 2012 That is so great! Another benefit to this surgery is easy to locate ovaries! Kind of related, about a dozen years ago, I was able to drop over 100 pounds in a year by extreme calorie restriction and exercising a minimum of two hours a day. When I went to the OB/GYN, they kept looking at the chart, and looking at me, walking out of the room. Finally the nurse comes back in and asks, "Who ARE you?" LOL. I didn't match up to their chart at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
