Ramblings...

You may have noticed that I deleted the last two posts. My reason for doing so was to prevent this blog from becoming a bitch-fest. I'd rather whinge about slightly less petty things here.

I have a bloody cold! Abe and Wynona had it last week, Abe's turned into bronchitis (hopefully I don't get that!) and Wynona ended up with an inner ear infection, so that's where I caught it. So tomorrow, after my post-op appointment, I may pop into the new walk-in clinic down the road from the hospital and get a check-up to make sure mine isn't turning into bronchitis or anything that can be treated with antibiotics.

And while I'm still thinking about it, my post-op appointment is to hear the results of my exploratory laparoscopy. When I was at the hospital the other week, one of the doctors let slip that the results came back normal, except I have a cystic appendix (I'm Googling that as I type!). Normal is good in the sense that I don't have poly-cystic ovary syndrome or endometriosis, but bad in the sense that there isn't something that can be fixed. It may mean birth control, whether it be in pill form or an IUD or implant, it may also mean pain killers forever and a day. Stupid body!

The Google search for a cystic appendix was not at all helpful, so I turned to Yahoo! Answers and asked the people there what it was. Hopefully I get an answer soon!

As for my back...x-rays on Friday, which hopefully will come with a diagnosis sheet so I know what's wrong.

I'll update again tomorrow when I find out my options as far as the post-op appointment and the cold go...

Ciao!
