Been a while...

I know it has been a while since I updated my blog. A lot has happened in the past 2 months.
First, my sweet Merlyn passed away. He was only 3 years old. he had tumors in his lungs and he passed away before the scheduled surgery.
Sadly, Memorial Day, my sister Heather, lost her beloved David who was only 35 years old. My heart bleeds for her. I was never fortunate enough to meet David, but I know they loved each other very much and that made him a wonderful man!
Mike has been having more issues with his arthritis which seems to be acting up more and more.
He called in for his prescription to be filled, and the Dr called him and asked if he has been taking Ibuprofen. When he said yes, She told to him STOP IMMEDIATELY. The reaction between the two medications can cause a heart attack. He was appalled because the SAME doctor has prescribed the Ibuprofen herself! GRRR  Stupid drs.
Well, as a lot of ppl know, I have PCOS (Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrom)  Essentially, instead of an egg dropping, it becomes a cyst and stays on the ovary. When they rupture, it feels like I am being stabbed with a doubled edges serrated knife and twisted. Not fun on any level.
I have had other pains and other issues. (ie. having my monthly for 6-9 months at a time) And the painful feeling of gnomes using my insides as a jungle gym.
FINALLY my Dr said he wanted to send me for a mammogram (at the age of 31 that freaked me out) but that was clear (THANK THE GODS!!!)
He also sent me in for a Larposcopy, a hysterscopy and a D&C at the same time. He was looking for fibroids and to see if I have endometriosis. Supposed to be a quick surgery back to work in a day or two. The pain in my shoulder from the gas they used to extend my stomach had me out for a week.
Turns out I DO have endometriosis, BUT he found a mass on my cervix.
He pulled a sample for a biopsy. I get the results on June 21st. No matter what I have to go to Buffalo to a specialist to have it removed it possible.
The reason there is even a scare for me that this may not be benign is my mother was spayed at the age of 38 because it was the C word. As well as my grandmother was 41 when she had hers for the same reason. I am determined to do everything the opposite of my mother so this HAS to be negative.

On the job front, I have a summer job until the casino calls me back. I am working at a campground in Franklinville and I am actually having a lot of fun there. I get to meet different people every weekend as well as our seasonal campers.

Only a couple days until the Solstice. I can not wait!
