Just life

Life is going pretty well for me these days.  Today was a balmy 78 out, so the wildchild and I went for a walk on the beach.  It was lovely!  The hills all around our area are a lovely shade of green now and it was just great.  

Couple of weeks ago I had a little scare.  Seems when you've gone through cancer, any little pain you get makes you worry.  I like to call it canceritis because even if I stub my toe....yep, I think there is cancer in my toe.  Anyway, couple of weeks ago, I had some pain in my abdomen.  After a week, I figured I better go in and see my doc.  I had an ultrasound and then...well, then they didn't call me for 5 days.  And it was the weekend and so I sort of forgot because by then the pain was gone.  But then they called and the nurse that called told me false info.  AND then I panicked!  She told me I had a 10 cm cyst and referred me to a gyn.  I called them for an appointment and they said I was a priority so then I REALLY freaked out. They gave me an appointment for the next day.

Bossman came with me to the appointment.  I got there at 2:45.  They didn't call me in until 4:40.

I was sooooo mad!  I had already gone twice to find out what the problem was and just when I got up to reschedule the appointment, the nurse came to the door and called me in.  The only reason I waited so long is because I really thought it was going to be some bad bad news.

Turns out, the nurse told me false info.  The cyst is only 4 cm and very common.  Everything else looked fine and she had a feeling that the cyst was probably gone.  So, I'll be having another ultrasound next week to make sure, but she was so confident that everything was fine that once again, I can breathe easier.  I just hate stupid things like that.  I really hate being afraid all the time.  I try not to go there, I try to realize that I just have to take things as they come, but honestly, it's really, really hard.

In other news,

Bossman and I are getting along really well lately.  Ever since the kids moved out and the boy went back to school, we have been doing really well.  Just this evening, I was jumping in the shower and Bossman was helping me undress.  I grabbed my shoes to put them away and he wasn't happy that I pulled away from him, so he pulled me over his lap and gave me a few whacks with the back scratcher.  Good god, that hurts like hell!  But it was only a few and then he sent me to my shower.  You know what?  I grinned like a goon through the whole shower!  Later on, we were watching a movie and one thing led to another and well, sex in the living room recliner was amazing!  

The boy is coming home on Wednesday.  I haven't seen him since the holidays, so I'm looking forward to seeing him.  Also, I redid his whole room, paint, carpet, new bed....the works!  I hope he likes it!

Well, that's what's going on here!  Hope things are good in your world!
Toodles!

  1. Gosh that would have been a shock with the results the nurse gave you. Been there with the cancer scare and know what you mean by everything makes you think the worst. Glad your cyst was smaller then you were originally told. Good luck with your next scan, hope it has gone.
    Lovey having the house to yourselves and being spontaneous.

  3. Would you feel better if you went back and took the backscratcher to the nurse? I'd feel better.

    I got threatened with the backscratcher today but he used other things. I'm glad the kids are mostly out of the house. It does seem to help.
