...did my doctor's loffice really have to have the dumbest of dumb blonde sounding secretaries call to tell me the results of my ultrasound? And yes, I'm allowed to make that remark because I'm a blonde myself.
In any case, they "think it's just a regular ovarian cyst. I mean, um...that's what it looks like to me. But we're going to go ahead and schedule you for a follow up sonogram just in case. Cause yeah, that's what Doctor recommends." Dude...seriously?
For anyone wondering, Dad's operation went well. They were able to fix the hernia and didn't find any ohters while they were in there. For the time being, he's very sore and rather pissed that he can't sleep in his own bed yet (laying back pulls at the incision). He also can't sit straight up as that compresses the incision. So for at least tonight, he's camped out on the chair in his living room. But even that has its own problems...mainly that his seat bones feel bruised, his ass falls asleep and he slowly slips off the chair and must adjust back onto it, which is rather painful. I offered to help Mom out this weekend cause I know my Dad and he absolutely hates depending on other people for things. By the end of the day tomorrow, I can see him becoming an ornery bear. I stayed home with them tonight instead of going out to hang with Brad, Mandy and the boy. If anyone has any tips on the sleeping situation for him though, I'm (we're) all ears.
I have to make Crack Dip (read Buffalo Chicken Dip that so tasty and good it's addictive like crack) to bring to Little Jen's shindig this weekend. Not sure if I'll be able to stay the duration though because again, I'd like to be there to help Dad and Mom. Even if it is just to give him someone different to talk to. I shall include the recipe for said Crack Dip at the end of this entry for anyone who is interested.
I really want to get some writing done this weekend and I'm kinda pissed Fred took so much out of me earlier this month because now
tru_faith_lost and I will be late with the cracked!out!Overboard Fic. My goal is to block off a huge chunk of time tomorrow night and work on both fic and more of Katelyn's scrapbook. Note to self...get more photo paper.
Also, apparently me being a touch melodramatic on Valentine's Day gave me an idea for a timestamp fic of the schmoopy/ smutty mpreg variety. Weird, huh?
