He made his arrival this morning.
Waking me up at the ridiculous hour of 3am.
Because Jack is considerate like that.
I figured that since I was up anyway, maybe I should try a little walk on the treadmill. Nothing too brisk or strenuous, just some of that morning movement I’ve been trying to get myself into the habit of doing.
Let me just tell you, whoever it was that said cardio was good for cramps;
LIED
I lasted all of 20 minutes. And then I spent an hour sitting down in the shower. Only getting out when the water began to run cold.
It was pathetic.
And kind of amazing all at once.
Of course, Jack’s arrival was even more ill timed than just being my 3am wake up call.
Because it turns out – I had an ultrasound scheduled today to check up on those less than friendly little cysts of mine.
I also had my annual on the books.
Figured I would kill two birds with one stone when I made that appointment 3 weeks ago.
Besides, Jack wasn’t supposed to arrive until sometime this weekend, and I am never early.
Never ever.
So I didn’t even think twice about the appointment date.
Guess I should have listened to the healer when she told me this weekend that he would be arriving sooner than I was expecting.
I swear – sometimes that woman freaks me out.
So, the annual was rescheduled for next month, but the ultrasound appointment was kept.
Making for a lovely vagisound experience.
Those cysts of mine have grown. One on the right now at 2 cm. And still the 3 on the left, all a little larger (but not by much) than the last time we looked. Still… I’ve been feeling so much better the last few months. And really, as far as growth goes – they're growing at turtle speed compared to how my endometriomas have grown in the past. So for now, I’m choosing not to worry about them. I’ve got a consultation with Dr. Cook on Monday, and we’ll discuss them then.
In the meantime, I’m entertaining Jack. Just me, him, the DVR, and my heating pad curled up in bed.
But hey – I’ve managed to keep the good drugs away from the party.
And that’s saying something.
