Ovary Wars 2: Electric Boogaloo
Yesterday around 2 I drive myself to St David's Hospital in pain like I haven't felt in a long time. Something was, quite obviously wrong. My fever was back as well.
I stumble into the ER. 20 minutes later I was back in an examining room.
Blood work. Ultrasound.
Ruptured Cyst. Of doom. DOOM.
Not sure why my doctor earlier in the week didnt catch it. The ER doctor said that these types of cysts can grow to nearly 4 inches before they rupture and may have been there for months.
4 inches! OF DOOM!!!!!!
So, looks like I'm going back to the every 3 month schedule of exams due to my prior medical history. I have an appointment early tuesday morning with my obgyn.
Either this is nothing (well, not NOTHING because, dude, my ovary exploded) or its a sign of something bad.
We are obviously hoping for nothing. Dr seems to think it is just fluid filled cysts which are normally not cancerous. But again, its something I have to be wary of due to the cervical cancer i had 2 years ago.
My fear? That Tuesday my OBGYN is going to recomend removal of my one ovary that is left. My "good" ovary. And even though I know my lady bits dont work in a reproductive way, it's still kinda weird for me to deal with as a woman.
Of course, that is all worst case, unlikely scenario but a scenario none the less.
volivershagnasty did promise me that should he ever wake up next to a dead hooker, that he would steal her ovaries so I could have a transplant. I told him I was hoping for a baboon's uterus.

although, the one exception has to be this: I have been calling the sequel to "the grudge" the following: "The Grudge 2: Still Pissed". somehow that made/makes a lot of sense to me...
And apparently the "chest pain" jag only works in the Republic of Texas, because I still sat for 7 hours when I mentioned that out here.
Granted, going to the best hospital in that part of town on the day of the city marathon wasn't the best idea, but you can't exactly choose that sort of thing when you think you're dying.
