I saw the gyn yesterday to discuss my u/s results in more detail and discuss whats next. First off let me say this dr was much better than the LPN i had been seeing. So the dr shows me the actual u/s report and goes over in it detail, basically saying everything is normal for a woman my age , that the cyst at this point are functional and normal and of a very small size. So when I asked her then why am I having daily stomach cramps she said that she didnt know but that the small cysts would not be causing that much pain and on a daily basis. This is completely different than what the LPN told me a few weeks ago. The worst thing was when I asked the gyn about the cramps she said what cramps? what back pain? I had to tell her about it all again and she said no where in my chart did it discuss those problems. basically that lpn didnt do a darn thing and just made me deal with pain that I could have been seeing the PCP for and getting help for. So basically for the last two weeks I was told that the cysts were causing the pain and to wait it out. So I did that. the only reason I never went to the ER for the pain was because I was told by the LPN that the pain was from the cysts. So all of the last two weeks when I was doubled over in pain or in bed from the pain, I should have either been calling my pcp or going to get seen somewhere. but I didnt because of that other damn dr, or rather LPN. SO thank God I have a cat scan for friday to find out what is causing all of this pain. It has been very bad and now I am super worried because for weeks I thought it was cysts and now I dont know what the heck it is. So now I wait and worry. I could just wait and not worry , but this pain is nothing to sneeze at so I am very worried. My mom thinks its kidney stones but I’m not so sure. we’ll see what happens. I am upset about how I was getting treated or rather at the lack of treatment I was getting. nothing to do about it at this point.

In other news, no wait there is no other news. Working very hard on coordinating the Easter Egg Hunt for church, which has been hard not feeling well, but I’m good at pushing myself even when I feel bad. Actually sometimes I think I do way too much when I feel bad but it cant get much worse so theres no point in laying in bed feeling bad when theres things to be done. speaking of which, gotta run , babysitting today….
