Jinxed

Warning - this may be more than anyone EVER wanted to know....

A little over a week ago I told someone at work that I can't believe I haven't gotten sick. Pretty much everyone at work has had a series of colds, the flu and a couple have had pneumonia. And on the home front, well, you all know Grace and Max have been sick the WHOLE winter. I work with the public and the 3 year olds a church - I am a germ breeding ground!

Saturday on the way home from my mom's I started hurting... Thinking it was just girl stuff I took some medicine when I got home. Sunday morning I sent Mike to get some stronger drugs - which did nothing.

Plug - he did bring home some deep heating Well Patch's - basically a sticky heating pad that offered some relief.

I found some strong drugs in the cupboard from when I had Grace and they dulled the pain - but by Tuesday I wanted to die. I was in so much pain, and I was so natious - I even to a prego test, just to make sure...

I cried Wednesday morning and got in to the doctor. I was 90% sure I knew what it was - and I was right. I had a cyst on my left ovary - and by the time I had an ultrasound it had ruptured. If you have never had a cyst - the pain was worse than child birth. (Now mind you I had some great drugs during child birth - so I'm not sure the two should be compared.) But the great part about a cyst rupturing is that the pain will be over soon - usually only a day or two more.

I'm sure this was way more than anyone wanted or needed to know... but although it wasn't a cold, or the flu - I most defiantly jinxed myself!

This is the first time since having Grace that I honestly didn't feel like being a mom. I've had headaches, but they never last very long. I've had colds in the past couple of years, but nothing major, nothing serious. But this time I just wanted to lay on the couch on a heating pad and not be touched. How grateful I am that I was not alone over the past couple of days!

I'm feeling much better today - still on some good drugs - but I think I want to play mommy again!

Nicole told me you thought you had another cyst. That is aweful! Im glad it ruptured! When I have gall bladder attacks that is worse than being in labor also so I kindof know how you feel when you are in so much pain like that. Glad your feeling better!

I am so sorry girl! I am glad you are so positive about it though! I still remember seeing you go through that pain and it doesn't look like any fun at all!

I'm glad you are feeling better. That sounds awful, worse than child birth now that has to be bad. :)

That sounds horrible...I am so glad it goes fairly quickly...but even a couple of days probably seems like an eternity if you are in that much pain.
