OK, so now I smell like Flexall. Even though Absorbine Jr is easier to use since you just roll it on and your hands never have to touch it, Flexall penetrates deeper & lasts longer. The major problem with it is that you have to rub it in. So afterwards you need to wash you hands several times to remove all of it! And I keep forgetting that I need to wash my hands again & rub my eyes. So then I'm tearing for a few minutes.

Can I get an "OH BROTHER"?? ;)

One down, one to go

OK, ovarian cyst is gone. Left on its own.

Now just have to wait another 25 hours to find up what's up with the painful one under my arm.

Think I'll be able to sleep tonight?

And the winning mood for today is...

I guess I just expect too much of others, especially those who I consider to be my friends. I expect them to treat me the same way that I treat them. I never realized that that would be asking too much of someone.

I really need to learn how to expect nothing so that I'll never be disappointed...

I don't like this feeling one bit. I should know better--like the person in Billy Joel's Angry Young Man: He's never been able to learn from mistakes so he can't understand why his heart always breaks.

No anti-depressants & PMS make Betsy something-something

So just to give you an idea of how I'm feeling. I'm so tired! I haven't slept a wink. I feel sick. I need something. Not sure what. Besides a jacuzzi and a warm sunny beach. I just want to sleep...rest & de-stress. I'm moodier than I've been in years. And I've gone thru more kleenex than I've ever used even when I had a horrible cold.

When it rains, it pours...

OK, so it's bad enough that I have this lump/cyst under my arm that is now causing me constant pain and I need to go see a surgeon about it but my family's giving me grief because the soonest the DR can see me is next Wednesday and that would interfere with their plans for a road
trip to Tennessee--which I NEVER wanted to do anyway and still don't know why I have to go.

But yesterday I got a call from my OB/Gyn's office because I called our insurance company for pre-approval for a procedure. The nurse in her office told me that I never scheduled a follow-up pelvic ultrasound. And I said that I didn't know I needed one. The last one was in November. And she said that my chart reads that I needed a follow-up because of the cyst on my left ovary! WHAT CYST?!?!? So I said, "Nobody told me!" And she said that it's in the charts that I was supposed to schedule a follow-up and that she told me last year. So she's faxing the order to out-patient scheduling and I need to call in a few hours to schedule one ASAP and then call the OB's office back to schedule an appt for the results 3-4 days after the ultra-sound. They fit me in this afternoon, so I see my OB/Gyn on Tuesday.

You know, I know I'm losing my marbles but I'm pretty sure I'd remember if my DR told me I had a cyst on an ovary!!!

I really despise this weather...

Just in case you're unfamiliar with the smell...here's a pic.

The only problem is how overpowering it is. I mean, why bother with cologne?

Then again, people know you're not fooling when you say you're in pain AND you smell like this!! LOL

Just a sidenote: Why did they stop making Premesyn?!?!?? Because it actually worked?? God forbid there's an OTC product that does what it claims!

And special thanks to Snorlax for interrupting last night's sleep. Not like it doesn't get interrupted anyway. :(

P-U!

I HATE this weather!! I smell like a nursing home! UGH! I ran out of Absorbine Jr last night so this morning I had to use Ben-Gay. And if you've never smelled that one, consider yourself lucky...

UGH!

Well, here we go again! Dam weather! Spring means rain which means pain...

I have GOT to move out of this stupid state. I desperately require a warm, stable climate.

It was just my imagination

running away with me

Yay...sort-of

Well, I'm sleeping again, sort-of. After the DR took me off Amitriptylene, I ran out of Chlonazepam. :( It really bugs me that I have to take pills to help me make it thru the night. First of the month brought my refill and at least I'm falling asleep again, only waking up for the frequent "potty break", but then it's right back to sleep.

SIGH...to have 8 uninterrupted hours of sleep would be so blissful.
