Day 8

May 21, 2008 by Amy Leave a Comment

The Hilarie news notwithstanding, today was NOT a great day. My antibiotic made me sick all day. I had to take Emma to get her filling today and I even had to get the assistant to get me a Dr. Pepper and Pringle’s because I felt so sick. I think they were afraid I was going to pass out.

Speaking of her filling, Emma did SO GREAT. The laughing gas however did NOT have a calming affect. She was bouncing her legs on the chair and literally jumping up and down while we were leaving. For some reason, I’m not surprised. She did really well with the dentist though. She was really still and didn’t cry one bit. I don’t think she knew what to do with her numb lip though. She kept telling me it felt funny.

I spent most of the rest of the afternoon and evening lying down. I didn’t even go to bible study or church. The nausea would come in waves and I’d simply have to lie down and it would settle. I made sure to eat a granola bar just now though and plan to head straight to bed so I don’t have to deal with it through the night hopefully. The good news is the lump seems to have gone down some. Keep praying it makes it go away!

AI Finale

Wow, that was one jam-packed finale. It was the best finale by far to date. I don’t know if I can even begin to comment on all the performances. A few highlights though…Archey should definitely have sung Apologize instead of the Chris Brown song for his modern song. So excited when Bryan Adams was announced. What was with Archey and Cookey without pants in the Guitar Hero commercials? The Jack Black thing was WAAAYY too long.

I thought Archey did well last night but by this afternoon, I kept trying to picture whose name I wanted Ryan to call and it was definitely Cookey’s so yay! I’m really excited about the outcome. Nice to see a solid contemporary rocker win. Can’t wait to see them in concert!

Watery Eyes

This is a good one.

I walked in to find Lexi wiping at her eyes and she says:

My eye has a leak.

More WOAH OTH News

OK, last week I was so excited several reps had contacted me directly about info for my One Tree Hill Blog site. Well..let me tell you what happened to.day. The same rep for the movie The List who had given us 5 DVDs to giveaway asked me today if I would be interested in INTERVIEWING HILARIE BURTON about the movie. My response was um…YEAH!!!!

I called Heather and literally screamed on the phone! What in the world am I going to ask her? Yeah, the movie questions are pretty easy..what’s the movie about? What’s your character like? etc but of course I want to know if I can ask questions about One Tree Hill and if I can in fact do that, I’m assuming I only get a couple and what in the world do I ask significant enough in 2 or 3 questions? I’m sure I could talk all night about One Tree Hill, especially with Hilarie but how do I pare it down to a few questions if in fact I can ask any at all? And I know nothing about interviewing anybody about anything! I think I might remember practicing interviewing Abe Lincoln in middle school or something?!

Wow, I’m flabbergasted I was even asked but so excited I might get the chance to do it. She responded and said I’m on “the list” and she’d keep me in the loop. I really hope this pans out because it would be SO COOL!

*freak out done, composing myself*

Late night Treat

Because they looked like THIS right before I drove into our driveway on the way home tonight…

I made a U-turn and got a White Mocha from here 2 minutes before closing:

AI Finale

I thought the finale was fantastic tonight. Mom was underwhelmed by DC. I thought he did great but I really think Archey pulled through tonight. I thought I’d be a little bit bored when he sang Imagine again but WOW he was perfect. I actually preferred DC’s coronation song. It’s actually something I wouldn’t mind listening to another few times. Archey’s on the other hand was a bit boring although he sang it well. I think I have to give the night to Archey though. If he wins, I hope someone has a mop nearby because he is going to be a puddle on the floor!

Bartholin’s Gland Cyst

May 20, 2008 by Amy 5 Comments

Boys, go away, you don’t care about this. And for that matter, if you don’t like graphic medical talk, you go away too.

But I have to say, reading about someone’s medical journey can be interesting too.

Plus, I wholeheartedly believe knowledge is power and so many people are searching the Internet these days for medical info so I’m going to add this on here for Google’s sake. (Do I get extra points in my Google rank if I actually use Google’s name several times??) Furthermore, you wouldn’t believe the amount of 13 year olds searching on forums about lumps in their vaginas which really turn out to be their cervix. Not helpful.

Anyway.

Saturday I started feeling sore “down there”. Sort of felt like I had been cycling for too long. Except I haven’t done anything even close to exercise for months now. I brushed it off seeing how clumsy I am and thought maybe I had bruised myself somehow. And no, there’s no way it was some freak sexual maneuver…Scott’s been gone for 7 days now.

By Sunday, it was hurting bad enough I got curious enough and found a gumball size lump to the right of outer labia. It was sore to the touch and hurt when I sat down, bent down or when I wiped. Otherwise it didn’t hurt.

Well, by Monday it had grown to about the size of a cherry tomato and it was hurting all the time. Not so much that I was taking any pain pills but I knew it wasn’t right and I had never had anything like that. And well, when you go searching on the Internet about lumps, the Cancer word tends to come up and freak you out. I made an appointment to see my GYN for this afternoon.

It didn’t take him long to determine I had one of my search results…a Bartholin’s Gland Cyst. Basically you have a duct that produces lubrication and it can get clogged up. And when it does that, it may or may not get infected. My doctor told me there was no good way to tell if it was infected or not so they like to go ahead and drain it but they’d go ahead and put me on antibiotics to see if that helped. If it hadn’t helped in 2-3 days, they’d put gel on it to numb it, give me a shot of Novocaine, cut the cyst open, drain it then stick in a catheter that I had to wear for about a week or until it fell out.

FABULOUS.

And guess when my appointment is? Roughly 7 hours before Scott returns from his 10 trip out of the country. And I’m going to have a catheter for 7 days. He’s going to love this one.
