No one cares!
Get over it!
Oh boo hoo!
Want some cheese to go with that whine?
No that isn't what I've been told but its what I do feel about the whole long cycle.
Yesterday I was at the Glad To Be Alive party that my husband's cousins throw each year. As each year passes more of us join the ranks of near death, omg surgery episodes, battles with cancer, and life long illness. But I think that can be said for most families when one stops to think about it.
I think I ate too much salty food yesterday at the party because I got on the scale this morning and found out I gained 3.4 pounds. Yeah that much. I bloat easily. Fun part is going to be explaining to the nurse at the RE office on Tuesday when she weighs me in. I just had a conversation with her on Friday, when she called to thank me for the cookies, about my well being. I bragged about my weight loss. I guess I spoke too soon.
I'm still getting sharp pelvic pain late in the day. Yesterday the pain stopped me mid conversation and I felt the blood drain out of my face. So I know something isn't right in China (Army Wives reference to season 1 I think when the wives were discussing sex and their lady bits names). Maybe another cyst is preventing my flow? CD 80 is just crazy.
J is driving me batty today. His surgery is scheduled for Tuesday. So since I'd like to keep my sanity for a while longer I asked him if he want to go to the shotgun range today with his friend J. He left just minutes ago. Ah...peace and quiet at last. I might not have to divorce him after all. Seriously he is grating on my nerves. He is acting like the only man to ever have to go through a surgical procedure. I realize that he has never had surgery before and he is nervous. Of course you folks know that I understand his nervousness quite well since I just had surgery last month. But I didn't try to drive him batty. Right now I wish we lived near his mom so that she could either baby him to his approval or tell him to suck it up. My mom would just tell me to suck up the pain and I usually do which gets me into more trouble than not with my medical issues.
So Tuesday is the day I'll find out more of what is going on in the life of me, a simple Army wife for the RE appointment and J's outlook for a recovery. Well okay with any luck I'll find out more if I ask the right questions and bug the medical professionals for the answers. But if you would, keep my husband in your thoughts and prayers for a good surgical outcome.
Gosh 80 days, that is awful! I hope your doctor has a plan of action when you go in. hoping everything goes well with J on his surgery. Just remember how you felt on your first surgery, lol even though we are professionals now :-)
ReplyDeleteMy first surgery was when I was 12 and I was just glad to get the offending things removed from my body. I didn't like the stitches because they weren't staples but copper stitches and the skin on my feet grew around them by the time the 6 weeks of recovery was up. J has spoken with several other men about this surgery and he knows its simple. He just wants to be babied and I'm tired of it.
DeleteGood luck to J on his surgery. I hope the RE can give some insight into why your cycle is not back. Maybe he can give you something to get it started?
ReplyDeleteI'm dreading the pill. Well that is my guess of what will be next. Migraines ahead.
DeleteHoping his surgery goes well. And I hope that things get sorted out for you :( I hope it's not another cyst, that would be awful!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I'll pass on your hope to him. Things will eventually resume to a more normal agenda with my cycles.
DeleteSo sorry your cycle is so darn long! That is crazy annoying. I will be thinking about your hubby and hope all goes well. Good luck to both of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Alyssa.
