Positive Thoughts & Prayers

I've had a really terrible, stressful week and I could really use some positve thoughts and prayers (for those who pray) sent my way.

During a visit to my doctor I started to feel dizzy and hot and I ended up fainting right there in the office! When I woke up I had really bad cramps in my abdomen. After an examination, the doctor decided to do an ultrasound and found a gigantic cyst surrounding my left ovary. My doctor said it's almost 12cm, about the size of a grapefruit. I was like 

 

No, seriously. A freaking GRAPEFRUIT?!?!?!?!!!?


 

Which is really NOT cool. I seriously could not look at any citrus fruits all week. Actually, I could barely eat all week. (Which by the way, is not such a bad diet)

But for real, A grapefruit is almost as big as most peoples faces! See?

(That's not me btw- but that is JUST LIKE the grapefruit wannabe hanging out inside of me!!)

I am really upset though. I had to have an MRI this week and they didn't find any normal tissue remaining on my left ovary. So it looks like that little er is coming out.

 

But, I can still have kids with one ovary they say. So, it's all good, right?

 

Soooooooooo..... I'll be having surgery soon. Yay. That's going to be awesome.

Thank you, all of you AWESOME, AMAZING, TALENTED, GENEROUS, writers here on AFF. You have saved my life this past week! Every time I see I have a new story update I get so excited because it means that I get to escape my world for a few minutes and live in yours. Maybe I'm just in the right circles, but I've never once read a mean or truly negative comment. I can't believe what a cool and supportive community this is. Thank you for sharing your stories!

Oh, darling! I hope you get better soon! And yes, you can live without both ovaries and your womb (according a movie I saw about a doctor who unfairly did it to women). I'd just be concerned about getting pregnant later on in life :)
