The past 24 hours has been a bit rough on me…I admit it. Yesterday I went in for my annual with my gynecologist. Yeah…being a woman is so much fun.
Anyway…I wasn’t looking forward to that to begin with…but I had no idea what I was in for.
I’ve gained weight again.
And …as if that wasn’t enough…they found a lump in my breast too. 
It’s not big…but it’s painful. I thought I felt it when I did my self exam last month and was going to ask about it at my appointment…but I didn’t need to because she found it rather quickly.
So, now I’m going in for an ultrasound to see what it is next Tuesday. Hopefully it will give us some answers so at least I know what I’m dealing with. I hate not knowing.
I went into the lab this morning and had 7 vials of blood drawn for testing. They ordered “everything under the sun” according to the lab technician. Well…at least I know that they are actually trying to find out what’s wrong with me. My doctor feels that the weight gain may be due to more than just my hypothyroidism.
Hence why all the tests were ordered.
So now…I wait.
Did I mention that I hate not knowing?
All of that being said…my youngest daughter Corin is sick. I awoke at about 4am this morning to the news that she was ill…all the signs of the stomach flu.
So…I’ve been up since then and dealt with my poor little girl as she cried because her tummy hurt so bad. I called and checked in on her not too long ago…at least she’s finally stopped vomiting.
Watch…I’ll get that next…I always do. Especially when I haven’t gotten enough rest.
Oh well…as my dear friend Eeyore would say. All part of being “Mommy” I suppose.
Speaking of “Mommy”…Mother’s Day is this Sunday. My wonderful hubby bought me an early Mother’s Day gift…the special edition of The Phantom of the Opera!!
So at least I can watch that tonight and take my mind off things a bit before I pass out from exhaustion right?

It must be really hard waiting for the tests , so good luck with them . Enjoy Mothers Day too .
Big Big Hug – I too hate waiting. I’ll keep my arms tight around you in my heart until we hear the results and I’m bringing you a real live hug on Friday.
I hope your tests go well.
I haven’t gotten to the point of setting moving dates yet. A lot of things still have to happen. I’m thinking roughly late July/early August now.
I hate the “hop up on the table” dr visit.. But, I hate waiting, too.. Hope everything turns out ok.
I’m sure things are going to be OK, no matter what; I’ll be with you.
And you knew I was going to get you that DVD– Hey, I’ll admit, I even like it myself.
