seriously?

I am still sick....and it bites.

I feel "better" in some ways......and worse in others.

Gotta love the liquid diet. :)

Urgent Care

Went to Urgent Care this morning. After my 90 minute waiting room experience doctor said "You need to stay home until Wednesday. I will write you a note for work a school." Apparently I have two virus' on top of my ovarian cysts.

Ugh.

I hope I get better soon because my Uncle Jon and Aunt Debbie are in town and I would really like to see them. We will see though.......

Test Results

By the way....this is not my ultrasound pic....but this is exactly what mine looks like! ha ha ha.....some people show baby ultrasound pics....I say......"LOOK AT MY OVARY!"

The doctor called me with my test results today. Turns out:

GOOD NEWS: Ultrasound shows I had one ovarian cyst that burst (hence the tremendous pain). How is that good news? Well, it burst and is gone. :)

BAD NEWS: I have another one on the same ovary. Ouch. It is currently not bothering me, however, when/if it bursts - it probably will. :(

EH NEWS: I have to return in three months for them to test again. If it is not gone and growing they will need to make choices from there.

Health is weird.

I am currently sick with a cold....

God is teaching me a lot. I am not feeling well and would love to get better, so I will continue to take care of myself and pray my healthy, 3 mile running body returns.

I miss running.......

Retreat

Got back from a great retreat. I am feeling awesome other than the sore throat/running nose. Let me tell you, if that is all I have ....BRING IT ON! :)

However, God has healed my pain which I am SO grateful for.

Good & Bad

*Went to the doctor yesterday.....follow up appointment. Still having a lot of pain. She decided it would be fun for her to press on my stomach and say "does this hurt?" then move to a different place "does this hurt?"............well.....let's just say she pressed on a part of my stomach and the pain was almost crippling........and I may have accidently said, "If you do that again, I will have to kill you." WHOOPS! (So much for loving like Jesus in that instant)

*She decided it is probably not a bladder infection but would like me to finish on the meds "just in case" and then she sent me to the corvallis hospital to get an ultrasound to see if it is a cyst.

*Went to the radiology department and they were like, "Your name is actually Erin Hall in our system and we need you to go to the front desk to change it." I am sure I looked at her like, "Do you think I really want to WALK anywhere right now?!"

*So.........I went and sat down and Casey changed my name for me. ha ha. that will show em!

*I went back for my ultrasound and kept thinking everyone was looking at me like I was pregnant. Other than the fact of looking extremely disheveled.

*The third doctor this week proceeded to ask me "Could you be pregnant?" "No. The first doctor this week checked for that." I guess I look like an honest person........because he went on with his business giving me an ultrasound.

*He kept pointing to the scree and was like, "That is your ovary. That is your intestines." and I kept thinking in my head, "Please stop telling me. I think looking at the screen is horribly disgusting. I do not want to see my intestines moving, or the size of my ovary." But......I let him keep talking.

*Next he said, "Your ovary is REALLY far over." My thoughts: "Thanks guy with a sweater vest and earring. "

*Anyways, he told me he was done and that I would get a call in the next "few days" to tell me the results. "Thanks. I will just writhe in pain in the mean time." lol. Luckily our good Lord invented advil.

*On Good News: My cough is almost gone - which helps A LOT! And I am leaving for retreat this weekend. Luckily we just sit around, loving God and each other so I do not have to move too much. Yay for that.

*i will update you all on Sunday! :)

1 + 1 = 2

I hate math. This blog has not much to do with math though, so, no worries.

So.....went to the doctor today.

What do I have? JUNK

What else do I have? Bladder infection/ovarian cyst

The combination of pain and coughing sucks........I think the only thing that could hurt worse is labor.......but even that they give you adequte drugs for.

Anyways, I feel like a walking, breathing, hell.

At least I am not contagious! 'Cause I have great plans this weekend! Let's hope I can walk. lol

"Junk"

Casey has been working for a Peditrician this year and she seems really cool. He really likes her. Anywho, I have been sick for the last two weeks. First with strep type thing and now with almost no voice. It has been an interesting ride.

Anywho, Casey was telling the doctor about it casually today and she said, "Oh. What does your wife do?" He replied, "She is currently a student teacher." "Ah!" The doctor said, "She has what I like to call "junk".

She went on to explain that all teachers get "junk" - a mixture of all the illnesses of every child in their class. (BOY IS THAT TRUE!!)

Just thought it was funny.... :O)

I realize I suck.....

I realize I suck at blogging. I will try and do better.

Just not a whole lot to talk about :)

I made a cake the other day. It was for a 8-year old named Marissa. It was for her Princess themed birthday party. I did not have A TON of time so I just frosted it, put some flowers and fake jewelry on and called it good. Didn't turn out to shabby though.

Here are some pics:
