Its coming out

My cyst is coming out this week. YAYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!! I can start to get back to normal. Pre-op is tomorrow. I had another US done today and the little bugger grew a bit. Not much but it grew. The tech was funny when she went to my left ovary. She said, "Its puny compared to your right one." It made me laugh. My surgery is friday, I think. Not sure on the time or anything but hey its coming out. I can't even function normally anymore. I can't go shopping, I can't get a job because if I do anything it starts to hurt and in goes the pain meds. I think they are just going to cut me open not do the laproscopy. But I will find it out tomorrow. I AM SO HAPPY. I am on the way back to being normal with a few war wounds I can show off to my kids, when I have some. I am not scared or anything more relieved because this bugger hurts when there is a BM or my bladder fills up.

*does the happy dance*

I have been in so much pain that I know that in say 3 months I wont have to deal with pain. This pain has been going on since mid-Jan. Thought it was a bladder infection so I did the cranberry thing before I went in. Went in said bladder infection(really wasn't). Went in again still in pain said kidney stones, didn't see any on an x-ray (funny how you can't see anything that isn't there). Went in again said it was kidney stones but did a ct to see if any where there and BAM found the cyst, no Kidney stones.. The little bugger was blaming the pain on other organs that didn't do anything wrong. My drugs are kicking in. Yay for Morphine's Big Brother. That also helps with the happy dance. All I want is to be back to normal again. Now I get my chance.

The pain did gradually increase, then somedays (the days I do nothing and don't hold my pee too long) I have no pain. Other days I have pain like I can't walk.

How is that a cyst can pain for a couple of months and then the pain stop but the cyst is still there?  Is it moving around?
