Well, that explains it.

Firstly, I can't even believe I have zero desire to drink. I should wanting to be pounding wine like it's my job. But, Grace and Mercy are now permanent roommates.

And it doesn't look like they will be moving out anytime soon.

Thyroid ultrasound resulted in not one, not two, but jackpot, THREE "lesions" (aka masses, cysts, crap that should NOT be there). BiBopsy of those bad boys Friday.

Pelvic Ultrasound really went all in. Evidentally, my uterus is so full of giant fibroids (DR actually said "zillions) that it is likened to a 5 month pregnancy.
One is the size of a cantaloupe, a grapefruit and few lemons and zillions of large grapes. And those were just the ones they were able to actually see.

Lucky me, I have a fruit bowl.

Hysterectomy here I come.

Well, that would finally explain the unrelenting fatigue, hormonal imbalances, anxiety, depression and muscle aches, back pain, dizziness, nausea, gastro problems, etc.

All of this found on a total fluke when I threw my hands up to the sky and said "Jesus, take the wheel".

Drinking is the last thing on my mind right now.
Because I have a massive Sacred Temple overhaul starting March.

I wonder if they will mind bedazzling my cervix.

Bedazzling is definitely called for here. Hugs to you AO. So glad you don't have to deal with the fallout of drinking in addition to this.

Hi AO,
I had a hysterectomy last year for cancer and I came out fine. You do need to take it really quietly, eat well and let others take the load for a bit. I am sending you big cyber hugs and positive vibes tonight. It will be ok, I know a lot of people that had cysts and fibroids and a hysterectomy has given them a new lease on life. Major hugs to you. Xxxxx

Wow, that is alot of fibroids! I wish you well with the surgery/treatment, and prayers on the biopsy for the thyroid.

Hopefully, come April, you will feel better than ever!

With your amazing sense of humor and positive outlook, you've got this. Lots of hugs and prayers for you.

P.S. I will never look at the produce section the same way.

Hey Alpha girl. I love your sense of humour.

I've also experienced the grapefruit fibroids, and a colony of little one's. Yep a fruit bowl, and very uncomfortable, not to mention hurting. I thought I was pregnant (gasped) The ultra sound showed what was living in my uterus, I could see them on the screen..eeeeeeek.

I wanted it all removed, I was so grossed out, thinking about those uninvited things living in my body. But my Dr. said, "NO!" "Why fix something that's not broken." I thought ok buster, try walking around with this in between your legs and see how you like it lol.

Anyway, my uterus is still there, menopause helped fix that problem. So hopefully you won't have to face a hysterectomy.

Thank god for your sobriety and the fact you are listening to your bodies warning calls. As far as the bedazzling well I've heard of vajazzling so why not cevazzling. I feel a stellar blog coming!

Big hugs to you and god speed a quick dazzling recovery!
