Just wanted to let you all know that things are fine. Dr. Got the endometriosis. Tubes are unblocked, sister brought Mazo Ball soup, and Clay has been wonderful! Meds make me a lil loopy...as the nurse stated "I'm under the influence" for a few days!
Thank you for all the phone calls! I have pictures, but I think I'll leave those off the internet :)

Issues?
For the most part I've been somewhat tight lipped about the "issues" we deal with on a day to day basis. Issues seems like the wrong word, but I'm not 100% sure what you want to call it.
As most of you know we have been trying to conceive for about 2 years. What to do about it has been our biggest "issue." One of the doctors I was seeing insisted there was nothing to be concerned about, and it would happen. Even after the discovery of a blocked left fallopian tube, I was fine. Then last March I was introduced to the "crazy drug"...Clomid. Oh my Lord! I call it the crazy drug because it did just that. I was emotional, depressed, anxious, my body ached, and I was Lucky enough to experience hot flashes. I won't complain about always being cold anymore! My ears would feel like they were on fire! It was at then that I decided I would not do anything hormonal until someone could tell me why I was not conceiving.
So here we are another doctor, another year. I insisted on being referred to a general OB who dealt with infertility. He is not the "specialist" in town, but IVF is not something I was even half way interested in. So, with in an hour of seeing the new doctor I was being scheduled forlaproscopy surgery. Apparently the blocked tube needs to be unblocked, and why that tube is blocked is something that needs to be discovered.
Tomorrow is the lucky day! I will go to St. Agnes Surgery Center at 8:30, surgery is at 10:00, takes about an hour or so, and I then recovery for 2-3 hours. I have no idea what to expect. I'm anxious, nervous, and excited all at the same time. I never thought I would be "excited" about surgery, but there I have a new found peace. There was reason for our "issues" and hopefully this will take care of it.
Clay will be home with me, so I know I will be in good hands! There has been a lot of questions, so hopefully this will help answer some.
