After 8 months of dealing with this, my diagnosis was 100% confirmed by my specialist in NYC. So now I can say with certainty that I have pulmonary hypertension. I had two tests in the City the first week of January and the results just came back. Now I have to plan for a follow up visit with the specialist in NYC for sometime in March.
With everything that has been going on lately, I really don't know how much more I can handle. Now I am making an appointment to see my doctor about having my tubes tied. Never in my life did I think that at 27 years old I would saying that I can never have babies, that I'll never experience being pregnant. And I know that I am not the only person in the world to not be able to have kids, but it still hurts.
My husband has been wonderful through everything. He's still very positive about adoption and surrogacy should we decide to go that route. I am going to ask the doctor about doing genetic counseling to see what the probability of our child getting PH and anything else for that matter. Then we can make an informed decision about having a surrogate carry our child(ren).
Between health stuff and leaving my job, I'm at a loss. I just feel numb about everything. I am sad that I am working so hard, and not really seeing any benefit to it other than me being so busy all of the time I don't have a chance to sit and mull over how I feel. But the bad part is that I am exhausted and I am missing things. My friend's sister had a ladies GTG last weekend and I couldn't go b/c I was working and now my best friend's bday is today and they are all going out to dinner on Saturday night and I can't b/c I have to work and by the time I get out they'll probably be half way through their meal.
Oh well. Hopefully I'll get through this.
