I was heavily drugged up so I'm not sure of all the details. J is bad with that sort of stuff so tomorrow, I'll send an email to my nurse and make sure I got the details right. I had a polyp and more placental tissue in my uterus. He took care of all that and I don't want to wait too long in case something else decides to grow in my uterus. Anyway, it was my first time travelling with my pump. The TSA at MDW said that people with pacemakers go through and they are fine. Newsflash, this isn't a pacemaker. I thought pacemakers are inside of the body. This is outside of the body and exposure to xray or the scanner may result in a malfunction. Plus, I think it could void the warranty from Medtronic. I wasn't arguing about getting a pat down. I think she didn't want to do it. Well too bad. I don't like it either but I'm certainly not risking my health because she thinks it will be ok. I bet she pushes pregnant women to go through too because the TSA says it's safe. Well, if it's some sort of xray, then I say no. I'll opt out and get a pat down. I'm just not going to risk it. And I thought pacemakers work if your heart stops. So how do they know that it's safe? Because the government says so? She probably tells people with pacemakers that people with insulin pumps go through the scanner too just to get them through. What does she care. She was pretty rude about it. I wanted to show her the manufacturers airport card but she didn't want to see it. So much for educating someone. Apparently she knows it all.

Feeling defeated....
I feel like I made one bad decision and now it's going to haunt me. It took 8 weeks for my HCG to go down to 2. My RE wanted me to have another sonohystogram to make sure no placental tissue was left behind. I was really hoping nothing would be found but of course there is either a polyp or placental tissue in my uterus. Radiologist will determine. It means surgery either way. Also explains why I'm still spotting off and on . If we had done this in August, maybe there wouldn't be anything in my uterus right now and the insurance would have paid it in full. Since J is on LTD we had to sign up with my company insurance and my oop max is 5k. I guess I'll wait and see what it is first. But I know it's going to be costly. My only other option is to travel to my RE and have him do it. I know it won't cost as much. I'm just kicking myself for not getting the D&C back in July/Aug. It would have been over with and I could have been cycling again. Instead I'm dealing with it now.
