The Praxis and a Ruptured Cyst
We started out Saturday @ 5am and headed to Nashville for Jason’s Praxis. I had a feeling it said 7:30am just so everyone would be on time. But we got there and I dropped him off around 7:15. His first test was supposed to be over by 8:30. I figured chilling downtown for an hour wouldn’t be a big deal.. I forgot to figure in nothing is open that early. I went to Wal-Greens and spent some time there. I picked up some bright orange nail polish and a couple of magazines. Then I drove around a little bit. The biggest problem I was having was I just hadn’t felt well for the last few days. I don’t know how to explain it other than discomfort, fatigue, nausea.. ect but honestly I’ve been dealing with that for months now. Anyway, I got back to the building where Jason was but he was nowhere to be found. So I sat and waited… and waited.. and waited.. Before I knew it 9:30 had arrived and I was hungry. So I decided to go and pick up some food. I ran over to McDonalds. The one by Centennial park. I noticed that there was an art show. I would have loved to go but unfortunately it was raining off and on. I got back to the parking lot and he still wasn’t there. At 10 he finally came out and he said the test didn’t really start until 8:30. Oddly enough there was a guy next to me in a car and when Jason walked up he asked if we could jump him off. I jumped at the chance to help someone. So after reading the owners manual we finally figured out how to jump a car off with a hybrid.
At 10:30 I again dropped Jason off. This time stores were finally open and I was glad! I decided Borders would be a great place to spend a couple of hours which is exactly how long it should have taken. I picked up two books for my FL tirp, a book for my mom and one for Jason. I got Rant by Chuck Palahniuk and Twillight by Stephenie Meyer. I started Rant in the parking lot. I really do enjoy reading I just get caught up in the damn moder age of electronics which seems to over ride my joy of reading. Anyway, I’ll say that Rant isn’t a book I’d normally read but it’s interesting so far. I am hoping Twillight will be greatly enjoyed like I enjoyed Ann Rice’s novels. By the time Jason came out it was 1 something. I was totally exhausted and we still had the hour and a half drive back.
We made it home and decided to take a quick nap before the wedding he was playing. I opted to stay home and sleep through the wedding. Poor Jason had to power through. Although I think he’s glad he did because he got to see all the popular kids from when he was in high school. Plus he did make some good money.
Jason got home and we chilled a little bit. I still wasn’t feeling well and decided to take a nice long shower. When I got out I started to make dinner and that’s when it hit me. Pain!!! Holy shit, this can’t be happening. I get that weird feeling.. kind of like when you fall onto the bar on your bike.. Yep… it’s a cyst. Again on the right side, I wobbled to my bed and called for Jason to help me. I quickly called my parents, and my doctor. Knowing the answers they would give. Take a pain pill and if it gets too bad go to the ER. Fuck the ER I’m not doing that. My doctor also said I should try to come in on Monday, but I told him I was going to FL tomorrow (which is now today). After about an hour I was started to feel relieved. Pain went from about an 8 on a 10 point scale to a throbbing 8 to a nothing more than discomfort as long as I didn’t move. So needless to say my Saturday night plans were ruined.
Today I woke up and the pain is minimal.. it just feels like my insides are irritated. That most likely a sign of a cyst rupture, meaning there is free flowing blood in my abdomen. I’m not really sure what I want to do. I totally want to go to FL today, but I feel like ass. No other description than that. Plus I am traveling alone. Although the good news is once the cyst ruptures there is really not much else that can happen… and so the pain should remain at just uncomfortable. The biggest problem is I still have to pack and see if I can even fit in any of my clothes. My belly is all distended and there is no way in hell I’m putting something tight on.
So… now what right?! I put some clothes in the washer… I’ve had my 800mg of Advil but I skipped the major pain pill.. and now I just sit here… uncomfortable and leery of leaving.. what the hell am I going to do?
