A Look of Utter Terror...Now Gone Pt 1
The complete, utter terror in her eyes when I came to the hospital that day.
Made me want to turn around and run away
before I knew what the doctor had to say.
"Sir your Mrs. has been very nervous this afternoon," came a reply from across the way.
You see, surgery had been performed on my wife,
and now she was not okay.
When I came in, it was apparent that she already knew the bad news,
because the terror in her eyes gave way
to tears and she grabbed me by the hand and I sat down to hear
what serious game, that life now had to play.
The doctor spoke to me and I looked at her and again saw the terror in her eyes,
as she on the bed did lay.
Then he said, "It's not appendicitis as we thought,
but a ruptured ovary instead but there's more today
A great mass that we have found around the ovary looked bad.
We had it diagnosed and from the lab xray,
We could tell that there was something there
that is normally not displayed.
And this you have to know about this unusual and rare disease. That when an ovary
ovulates,
it may or may not go, to all the places you suspect
that a tumor would not grow but very well could stray.
To any part of the body, within the pelvic range.
