Sigh.

Currently in the waiting room at Urgent Care. For me, because my spouse is a nag and scared for me. I am, too, but am more afraid of needles and sick to my stomach about it. Like, I might throw up. It is traumatizing just being here. I know it's irrational, and am unable to do a thing about it.

I told the guy I might seriously need a sedative if they need to stick me.

Update: I've been sent to the ER. Fucking hell.

It's not spontaneous dento-hydroplosion.

Home now. Sorry for the apparent vague-booking. It wasn't intended as such; I neither seek nor need attention. Being able to post it helps though, however minutely that is. The following has gone in various forms to a few people via text today.

Have had pain in my groin, left side, the last couple weeks. Constant. Finally told my husband, who Flipped. The Fuck. Out. and nagged to hell and back. Should've just kept my damn mouth shut. Anyway, went to Urgent Care this morning, then to the ER.

Lots of mortifying (pelvic exam, transvaginal ultrasound) and traumatizing (IV for the first time in my life) things later, I have a cyst on my left ovary causing the pain, which will likely resolve itself. Possible endometrial hyperplasia as well, so will need to see the gyno this week to rule out endometrial cancer, which is apparently super treatable. Also probably diabetic, type 2, thanks a metric shit-ton, genetics. Will need to set up a fucking regular doc for that this week as well. At least the ER doc was awesome. Am also anemic. Apparently anemia helps explain why I'm so fucking tired all the time. And the anemia is explained by ridiculous periods and heavy blood clots during them, which is explained by the really thick uterine/endometrial wall - with a lot of blood flow to it. Christ in a sidecar.

Got me a prescription for iron supplements for the anemia, and metformin to see if it brings down the glucose. I am not looking forward to the two battling it out in my damn colon.

Hoping y'all had a better Saturday than this! ♡
