gyno

1/30 – Start out strong

So, late in the game I've decided to try to spit out a post a day for 30 days.  I already know that this will be difficult considering that there's a lot of stuff going on this month.  But, hey, what the hell, it's worth a shot.

A couple of things for me:

  • 5 days till surgery
  • 35 days till Cirque du Soleil
  • 38 days till my birthday
  • 43 days till the Associates degree
  • 70 days till vacation

Today, I talked to Kiddo about going to the gyno.  She is NOT excited.  Granted, she should be safe for a few more years, but yeah, she dosen't want to go.  Ever.  Am I wrong in explaining the difference between a pap, a colposcopy and cryosurgery?  Maybe.

Mmmm, today I had the Buffalo chicken sandwich from Wendy's.  Lovey says it was really spicy, but he didn't have the blue cheese sauce on his.  Mine wasn't spicy at all.  Sadness.  I like spicy though.  A lot.

Earlier today (or last night), I made a promise to some dead relatives about action I would take if they pulled out all the winning lotto balls for me.  Tomorrow morning I'll know what needs to be done.

Ah, and most importantly for today.  At 8am, I woke up from an Ambien induced sleep, promptly got dressed and hopped on my bicycle.  I rode for approximately 20 minutes to the library where I stood in line for three, count em, THREE hours in order to cast my vote.  Thank goodness for early voting.  These are important times, my friends, and whether you agree with my choice of candidates (That One, the socialist, Marxist, communist, spread the wealth, illegal aunt hiding black guy) or not, I hope you realize the importance of making your voice heard.  EVERY VOTE COUNTS!!  So get out there and vote.  For Obama.  All the cool kids are doing it.  Well, you know, except for Stephen Baldwin who says that, you know, if there was a rally with a bunch of hip-hop people, since that's the demographic, ugh…I can't even repeat the rest of that.

Have a lovely November all.  See you tomorrow.

More info than you want (or need) – ROCO FRIDAY!

I finally got on over to my lady doctor (not my doctor who's a lady – which I have one of those too) and told him about my current issues.  Night sweats, no lovin', no poopin', rough cycles.  I told you it was more info than you wanted.  Anyways, he said that it could be caused by my current method of BC or maybe I have a thyroid issue.  So he says to quit the BC for a couple months and use condoms and see how I feel and that he'd do some bloodwork to see if it's the ole thyroid acting up.

I have two issues with this.  One, use a condom?!?!  Bwahaha, it's been Lovey and I and only Lovey and I for the last almost three years.  I would blow my budget on condoms why?  Besides, I don't like them and I'm slightly allergic.  Two, VAMPIRES!!!  I really hate needles and it's an ordeal every time they come around.  For some reason, the nurse can never find the vein on the first try.  NEVER.  I've gotten to the point that I tell them up front: butterfly me on the top of the hand and get it over with.  I apparently have very small veins and they hide under some fairly dark skin.

So, long story short, the vampire gets me.  First shot although she moves the needle around in my arm and I really don't like that, it makes me naseous.  She says that my veins roll.  I told her it's because they see the needle coming and run like hell.

As it turns out, my samples got contaminated so I have to go back for another test.  So I don't have to go back to the office, they mailed me my "prescription".  I like to know what's being done so I check it out.  There are things that I recognize like CBC and the one for the thyroid test.  I understand the testosterone one too.  After all, I said no lovin'.  But then there were some that I had never seen before and I had full blood workup over the summer and looked all that stuff up too.  Google to the rescue!

Turns out that he's doing some tests to see if I'm perimenopausal.  Yeah, I said it before, but I didn't mention it to him.  And likewise, he didn't mention to me that he was gonna test for that.  So, I'm a little miffed but at the same time glad that I may finally find out why I lose all the water I drink all day in sweat at night.  Anywho, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

It's Friday, bitches!  ROCO!
