I called my doctor, and she sent me to urgent care because she can't fit me in today. So here I am. Apparently there's a minimum of a two hour wait. I don't know if I can deal with this pain for two more hours. Damn. The pain comes and goes, but it's pretty bad when it comes. I felt awful the whole way here. Thanks for advice and hand holding, all.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

I'm sending you Mom's signature healing thoughts, i.e. thinking of you in a blue light, Kristin.

“Not dead yet!”
I don't know if I can deal with this pain for two more hours.
Babe, I'm sure I'm stating the obvious here, but if you're not sure you can deal with the pain for two more hours, then you made the right decision in calling your doc and heading to an urgent care.
Please, hang in there until you can see someone.

If it is a cyst, I found that walking helped, for some reason. It is very painful, and I wish someone could send you drugs over the internets.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It hurt HELLA bad the one time I had a kidney infection. Ugh. I'd say take some scrip painkiller if you have any, but that might mask something the docs need to see.
I've found that shrieking in pain sometimes helps move up wait time. The Stoics were, as a school, kinda full of shit.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Soon-ma for Kristin and a diagnosis. And treatment would be excellent, too.
Why is it always the car? Every one of those milestone conversations: "Where do babies come from? What makes girls different? Why is there hair?," etc., was held in the car. It's been postulated that the kid has the driver hostage, she can't run away, there's nothing to deflect or distract with, plus the whole impossibility of eye contact. Still. I'd envisioned those rosy, sensitive, carefully-planned conversations taking place in the porch swing, or at the kitchen table. Nope. Always the car.

Oh dear, Kristin. Quick pain relief ~ma. Lots of it.

I bet it's the car because you don't have to make eye contact. It might be easier to ask the hard stuff that way.
