my new ovarian cyst. I named her Terri, she is a bitch.Views: 220

I spoke to the doctor about my new ovarian cyst. He said to get an ultrasound in two months. He said it looks like nothing and that it will probably go away on its own.

I’m not sure I want to wait two months.

He did say that I should not limit my activity and that I could still climb and climb hard. And ride my bike faster than bike messengers. And do more push ups than the boys. And sit on my ass and drink beer.

Waiting sucks.

Samantha, you rock. Keep that attitude up…I’ll bitch-slap that Terri for you and remind her that we have better things to do.

Ovarian cysts are REALLY common…most women have no clue the have them, and I’m pretty sure they can raise ca-125 levels.

If I’m EVER anywhere near Philly I want to get together to rock climb, do more push-ups than the boys, and definitely drink beer with you.

Tanya- That would be AWESOME!

You make me tired!

You go gals.

Waiting is the pits. The rock climbing sounds good. I’m okay going up. The problem comes when it’s time to go down. I don’t do down. I gave up climbing mountains even though I live in Colorado. Got tired of pitching a tent at the top. You guys have fun! You can come here and rock climb. Stay with me. I’ll feed you, wave as you head out. :)
