The ow coming back into my life, Unintentionally.

[Poppiesway]

Am just so full of anger and rage at the moment. I split with exdp 6 yrs ago after finding out (ow left me messages on the answering phone to tell me when she's given exdp an ultimatum to leave me and be with her or she would tell me) about his 2 yr affair. although exdp is no longer with the ow and has a new gf and ow is out of the scene she is back in to my life. As yet I don't think she knows.

She's pregnant. And I'm a sonographer. She appeared on my work list and I was just in shock and felt sick. of course I refused to scan her but I now have six months of hell at work while she's pregnant and I have to deal with her invading my workplace. No one at work knows why I split up with ex (it was before I was at that hospital) and I never had any intentions of telling anyone. But I know I cannot be civil to her and I will lose my calmness when she's there.
She harassed me for months when I found out and exdp left her and stayed with me, but we were over and I asked him to leave.

I just don't know how I'm going to avoid this woman. I know because of her history & age she will be requiring more scans and somehow I need to avoid her. The rage and anger has just flooded back and I'm scared of what I will do / say if she is near me. I've managed 6 yrs of not coming across her and now she's going to be there again.

Has anyone had to deal with an ow on a professional level?
I can't refuse to be on call just incase she comes in.. I can't refuse to work just in case. I'm thinking I need to book a days holiday when ever she's due her scans so I don't have to see her name on the list or bump into her.
I just feel sick. And full of hate again. Which I don't like.

I'm sure you can avoid seeing her if you mention something to your supervisor. To be honest, if I was the ow, I wouldn't want to see you in this situation either. I used to be a scrub nurse and once my old headmaster was on the list for surgery. I mentioned it to my boss and she immediately switched me to another operating theatre. We weren't allowed to take part in operations on people we knew. Does your place have a similar policy? I'm sure that if you say something along the lines of 'I know her and would rather not scan her' , it would be OK?
