[24yrold_chicky :]

today is sat morning...my lap was thurs night...prob came out and was alert by 8pm...drifted out of sleep and back in...annoyed cos they had a Family guy/american dad marathon and i'd see like 30secs of it...slept for like 1hr intervals and caught bits of the soccer...ate crackers... went to go to the toilet at about 5am...SHOULDER PAIN THEN!! ARGH! then had some gas...getting up and back into bed has been horrible... luckily i am stomaching food ok...having soft stuff and some biscuits as really don't want to go do no2 atm...

today saturday it is easier to get up...less shoulder pain...sitting on computer (mum would say my posture is excellent atm!)...doctor said cyst was outside the ovary..in some area called the .."something ligament..." argh can't remember..but he showed me pics... my fallopian tube was abit swollen cos the cyst had pressed against it...

i have already had the blood test to rule out cancer and he said it looks benign but sent it to lab anyway. it was fluid filled and he said it had a really thin wall.

anyway...im getting sick of sleeping all the time...im craving bad junk food... Jester Pies has its new 'no pastry' pies! yum!

anyway tuesday have my stitches out.... thanks to u all who read my boring general banter... its good to have a place to talk about this stuff...

i've decided after this to go every 6mth for a pelvic ultrasound..as even the doctor couldn't answer me when i said- what if i wait 1yr and i see a 8cm cyst like this one-is that possible?and he didn't say no...

will post again tuesday about the gyn visit :p

Welcome to the RS!  Drink plenty of liquids and get tons of rest!!!  Too bad if it is boring, you must rest:-)  Hot tea really helps with the gas pains in the shoulders.  Sounds like you are doing well.  Now, go back to resting.
