Today I went to the walk-in clinic, but there was a three hour wait, so I decided to just go to the hospital. Of course I had to wait for several hours at the hospital as well, but not any longer than at the clinic. The doctor said that the cyst was too small at this point for them to drain it today, but he understood the severity of the problem, and made a referral to the gynecology clinic at the hospital. He said that they would give me a call tomorrow, so that I could set up an appointment for this week.

This is so fucking inconvenient, as school starts tomorrow, and the last thing I want to do is schedule in a medical appointment. Of course I want to have an appointment ASAP and have something done, but it's difficult to schedule things around school, and depending on the situation, I may end up having minor surgery, which may prevent me from studying, or cause me to miss class. I can miss the first week of calculus (although I don't want to), but I can not miss chemistry, and I certainly can not miss the first lab on Thursday.

I'm so sick of this fucking cyst. For the past eight years, I've lived in fear that it will come back, never knowing when it will (I fear that it will occur when I have an exam or something), and how incapacitating it will be when it does (once, I could not walk or move because it was so painful). This fucking cyst has caused me to miss work and social events, not to mention prevented me from having sex. This cyst has totally stopped me from my day-to-day activities. So even though it is "small" (the size of a marble/grape) and I can still move (but for how much longer? For all I know, I may be bed-ridden tomorrow), I can not have sex, insert a tampon (and I have my period right now), wipe my cunt with a towel after a shower without feeling pain, and when I walk and sit down/get up from sitting down, it stings. So while I may still be mobile, I have no idea for how long, and I can't do easily do simple, daily activities, which include hygiene. This has got to stop.

cyst, owies, health
