1. In September 2009 I was hospitalized for a few days because of pain in my right side. They thought it may have been my appendix, but after a CT scan, they discovered that it was not. I hope I never ever ever ever have to have another CT scan in my whole life. Drinking the die contrast was the grossest stuff ever. Sick, Im gagging just thinking about it. I ran a high fever for several days, but eventually my fever broke and they let me go. They never did quite figure out what was wrong.
2. A few months ago, I started having the pain again. I waited for about 2 or 3 months before I finally went to the doctor. They found out that the reason for my pain was cysts on my ovaries & diagnosed me with PCOS- poly cystic ovarian syndrome.
3. Im taking Progesterone to help decrease the occurrence of cysts. I cannot take birth control because progesterone and birth control counteract each other.
4. I hate taking pain medicine. Most of it makes me feel like a zombie, and I cant function and take it.
Okay, so heres my rant...
Saturday afternoon I started having pain in my right side again. I went to the ball, had a blast, but by Monday the pain still hadnt stopped. Monday afternoon I though I was going to die. I left work early, begged my mom to find me some pain medicine, and scheduled another ultrasound for Tuesday morning.
So by the time I get to the doctor Tuesday morning my cyst had already ruptured, which meant they couldnt do anything except give me pain medicine.
At this point, Im extremely frustrated. Theres nothing that they can do to prevent cysts from forming. They can basically just give me some shit to make me not care that Im hurting. & My doctor says that after having kids, my cysts may go away forever. But heres the problem(s). 1. Im not ready to have kids any time soon. & 2. When I am ready to have kids, its going to be difficult to get pregnant; PCOS causes infertility, so Ill probably have to have in vitro. And you know how when somebody tells you that you cant have something, its the only thing you can think about? Well, thats how I feel. (Now I know I dont need any babies right now, please dont tell me this. I know.) Just the fact that the doctors tell me that I cant get pregnant, makes me want a baby more than anything in the whole world. But again, its just not time yet. Plus, Im trying to remain positive; maybe it'll happen naturally "when the time is right" as Chris says...
Even though my day started out bad, and I was grouchy for the morning, my day really turned around. I forced myself to go to school, and I did well on my test. :) Then Chris took me across the bay to get my dermals changed & to go to Charming Charlie. & HOLY CRAP that place is AMAZING! Good thing its across the bay, or I would go there all the time! Chris bought me a bracelet & some earrings to wear this weekend, & I got a really cute/funky coral colored necklace with a bone-carved-looking elephant on it.
After our Daphne adventure, we helped his dad sort Mardi Gras throws... Well, Chris helped... I watched AFV with Gayle. & When we got home, Chris tried on his Mardi Gras costume. First let me say, I am SO glad I wore my "wild" dress last weekend. Chris's costume is the exact same color as the dress I wore to INCA... we would have seriously looked like we picked out matching outfits if I wore the green & purple dress to MOT.
Also, Mobley hated Chris dressing up. I took a video. If youre really bored, you can watch it. :) But if you have a life, dont waste your time. & Have a good day. Its too beautiful outside for today to be a bad day.
