M
Yay! So glad to hear you're working on your children's book! Well, I think my promise is going to be to work on my balance. I need to do better at balancing house work, my projects around the house, time with my family, my laziness, etc. Not sure how to really do that other than being more aware of it, but I'll figure it out. ~M~

Outta time
I didn't have time to finish my story so I will continue my Cyst story tomorrow. All is good. Good night and I will see you tomorrow.
LOFL
LOFL - I just made that up for your story S, that is F'ing hilarious (not laughing at your pain, just the story). That's the S I know, telling your story like a pro. Must admit, I've never really wanted to know THAT much info about a vag cyst, but I definitely learned something new. Not wishing for any kind of infection here, but man, your story puts all my little crappy promise blogs to shame... Well I'm glad you're back and feeling better!!! My next promise....do some research on adding an enclosed porch or a deck or something of the sort to our house. Not sure hubby would go for it, but it at least deserves some research. ~M~

Bartholin Cyst Part 1
Tuesday AM - Ok, so it starts with slight swelling... you know, down there. Defined by Wikipedia as : A Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop. A Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation, or physical blockage (mucus or other impediment) to the Bartholin's ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva). If infection sets in, the result is a Bartholin's abscess. Yup, it is just about as fun as it sounds.
Sooooo.... I made a call to my doc and I'm all "Hey, I'm getting a Bartholin cyst and I need some antibiotics." The nurse calls in some meds and ASSURES me to call if it gets worse.
GUESS WHAT... it got worse.
Wednesday 6:30 PM - Me: "Yo nurse, call me first thing in the morning. I am hurting like a hooker after a double shift! I'd say it's a no go on the meds!!"
do dee do dee doooo.... 7:30 PM - worse, 10:00 PM -try to sleep, 7 AM - start trying to call the doctor. This was a little game I like to call, Make S GUESS what time you open up because you don't say it on your RECORDING!" (note: this game is only REALLY fun when you have severe pain in the vaginal area, thighs and lower belly, as well as a good solid 3 hours night sleep).
Thursday 8:30 AM - I get a hold of the nurse and explain that the antibiotics are NOT working and I needed to come in and get the abscess drained. She ever so nicely responds, "The doctor will be in in a few. I will consult with her and get back to you. You know how it is with people on vacation and babies being born."
Fun side note: Pickle enters at 8:35 AM crying with an ear infection. I call his doc and get an appointment at 1:00 PM and call my 11 AM appointment to cancel AND call a babysitter for Princess because OF COURSE, the hubby is headed outta town at 10 AM.
Ok, back on track here; the nurse calls back and informs me they are short on doctors and I had to go to the emergency room (located down stairs from my doc). I wasn't really happy about this but a girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
I enter the emergency room and they take me right back. A nurse comes in, takes a look at 'it' and says, "Ok, I've never drained one of those. I mean, I think I can. I'm sure I probably can but I'll call your doc and they will have to come down." I'll admit, that made my blood pressure rise a little.
Next, a male doc comes in. He takes a look and asks some reasonable questions including the statement, "Dr.Beth must not know you are here." ummmm correction guy, I did call her first. Then he asks if I have a ride home from the ER. I explain about Pickles ear infection and husband going out of town so therefore I have to decline the pain meds because I wouldn't be able to drive. He then decides to go on and on ... and OOOONNNN about how painful the draining process is and how I'm such a brave soul for sticking this out without pain meds. Keep in mind, I have had these before. I'd say 6 or so and have NEVER had pain meds. By the time he was done, I felt like I was going in for open heart surgery without anesthesia. My blood pressure continued to elevate. He leaves my area and stands behind the curtain and schools a group of residents on how my VAG is infected.
Finally, a doc from my office comes in, drains the cyst, gives me pain med prescription, smacks me on the ass and sends me on my way to the tune of $150.00 upfront and more money due later.
I know what you are all wondering. What is the condition of your vaginal area at this point? Well, let me tell you, she went up inside me, cut a hole, drained the infection and inserted a catheter to continue to drain the infection.With all that, I feel quite a bit better with the pressure gone.
I then rush to my 11 o'clock appointment, run past the babysitter to get Pickle for his doctor appointment, run to the pharmacy to pick up all of our meds, go back to the babysitter, get Princess, run past a fast food joint for lunch/dinner and make it home around 4 PM. I am throbbing at this point. I then indulged in some pain meds. Ohhh thank GOSH!!!
The END. bahahahahahahah yeah right. Part 2 coming tomorrow!

M for the next few days
For the next few days, my promise is to work on the filing and shredding that absolutely needs done. It will definitely take me a few days. Also, I will get "all dolled up"...We're interviewing at work so that gives me a reason to HAVE to look nice, and I'm sure my hubby will appreciate it. ~M~

Bartholin Cyst
Definition: The Bartholin's glands are located on each side of the vaginal opening. These glands secrete fluid that helps lubricate the vagina. Sometimes the openings of these glands become obstructed, causing fluid to back up into the gland. The result is relatively painless swelling called a Bartholin cyst. At times, the fluid within the cyst may become infected, resulting in pus surrounded by inflamed tissue (abscess).
Yeah it's a fun as it sounds! I can't really write right now cause the hubby is staring over my shoulder. I really need to write sooner in the day! I promise to tommorrow.

Yay! So glad you're back (and alive, I was beginning to wonder). :) Same old promise for me, I'm getting VERY tired of hearing myself promise this ... More work to come on the baby room. But this time I'm going to try my new 30 minute approach. Where I run in the room, practically with my eyes closed, and throw almost everything away. And then run out and not second guess myself. If I continue on the way I've been doing it, I'll be sorting out every battery and key and dumb little thing I haven't seen in 7 years until this baby is like 10!! ~M~
