It's Hot
I've really nothing to report other than it's hot.
Today I went to the grocery store. I bought healthy things. I bought fruit and for some reason took great joy in measuring out 1.4 pounds of each item (because that's how much the fibroids weighed!). Two grapefruits, two mangoes, a small cantaloupe and four apples. I also got some frozen strawberry juice bars because I ran out of frozen bananas. Some yogurt. The only moderately bad thing I bought was a bag of corn chips and some fresh salsa. But hey, salsa is just tomatoes, and they're chocked full of antioxidants and vitamin C.
I've been playing with the phone wire too. I made a dreadfully ugly necklace. And a couple of cute chokers a few days ago.
I watched TV.
I had been having some pains in my abdomen, kind of in a line from the corner of the top of my pelvis to the top of my pubic bone. More on the left side than the right. But I've been very good about not doing anything for the past few days and I didn't take anything for the pain and it seems to have subsided.
I'm bored. I want to go back to work, but I know I don't have the strength for it. I certainly would have to go out and buy some other clothes too.
I think I've got PMS, which I will now call Post Ovulation Syndrome, since I can't menstruate. My breasts are sore and I'm carrying around at least five pounds of water in my belly and breasts. I've been drinking huge amounts of water, I think at least three quarts a day, probably more. I also started taking cranberry supplements again, to try to reduce this water weight and I was worried I had a UTI, but I don't have any symptoms except for a little bladder pain when I am very full.
My husband took the camera on his business trip with him. Maybe tomorrow I'll post all the other photos that I took to bring you up to date. There's very little reason to take photos every day now, nothing changes. The scar is still a dark purple line with small ridge of swelling at the top of it. It doesn't hurt much except when I sneeze or cough or the dog jumps up.
Any questions or feedback? Feel free to email me.
