Ahh...nice, hot cuppa tea...

 Raspberry Green Tea...I finished up the remaining cinnimon honey, then
added some clover honey.  I've been in a tea kick for a few weeks now, but
only herbal and the green teas as regular, full-octane will have me carwling 
the walls for days.  Brat + caffiene = bad combo.

I have surgery coming up on May 14 - Laporoscopic removal of my right ovary
and fallopian tube.  The ovary is enlarged with a cyst that is causing my constant
pain.  I've been diagnosed with cyst's on my right ovary since I was 18, and 
then there was the endometriosis, the two diagnoses of PID of the right ov and 
tube that required hospitalization - which was odd considering I was not yet 
sexually active at the time. O.o

This will be my fifth laporscopy - the last one resulted in lysis of adhesions.  The
one prior to that showed a cyst and I asked why it wasn't removed and I got the 
ususal bullshit:  it's small, we don't want to corrupt your reproductive system, 
blah, blah, blah...so ignore the fact that I've had recurrent cysts only in the right,
and, along with the endometriosis and treatment for it, I'm high risk for Ovarian
Cancer, you guys will just leave that thing in there?  Well, that's Cape May Co.
medical practices for you.  I'm now seeing an Ob/Gyn in Atlantic County (they
do have an office in CMC, but they only work out of the Atlantic Co hospital.

After reviewing all my symptoms, history, he told me," well, you don't need two
ovaries, espcially if you've never had a problem with the left" Which is true - the 
left ovary - if you're sitting near real wood, please knock on it for me - has 
never, never, given me pain or any problems at all.  When I first came to see
this Doc back in Dec., I express my fear of Ovarian Cancer,  he did order the
blood test, which was negative (Thank God) but I'm still high risk with the Right
so I better off without it.  Plus, it'll decrease my wacky hormone situation, 
therefore cutting down in the number of hormone-related Migraines.  Yes!!

I'm sooo glad my RSD has been in check, because this has been a nightmare
in itself.
