As those of you on facebook know, I am finally back from the hospital!  I spent over three weeks there and had surgery twice in a week.  I was being fed via my intravenous line and had a feeding tube implanted into my small bowel (which started a whole other set of issues; namely, vomiting nearly constantly for 3-4 days until I had it surgically ( Read more... )

So I went to the GYN to follow up on the 2cm cyst on my left ovary that I had about a month ago.  Good news: it has resolved on its own.  Bad news: I have a giant 5cm cyst on my right ovary.  You may remember I had one about 4cm in size when they tied my tubes.  This one is bigger and hasn't ruptured.  However, it's so bad that the doc said I may ( Read more... )

 Surgery was done this morning. In addition to other things, there was a HUAGMONGOUS cyst on my right ovary somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a lemon (we're not entirely sure from the doctor's ambiguous size indications).

Saw the endocrinologist yesterday.  As usual, I am more effed up than I thought.  He said I have a mild heart murmur.  WTF?!  I've had cardiac evaluations and NO ONE HAS CAUGHT IT TILL NOW?!  Apparently it's just a "it's there" kinda thing though.  However, I have to have a sleep study to address my daytime sleepiness and find out if I have sleep ( Read more... )

Had shot.  Blargh.  I hate the feel of a huge needle in my spine, it squicks me out.  Surprisingly not too sore (yet ( Read more... )

So.  Good news of the day: I don't need back surgery ( Read more... )

So today I got my septum pierced, my wrist tattooed with my Steffi Star™, new kitty picked out, and my hair cut.
