P.S. Seriously, did we incur a gypsy curse at some point this year? Because really, this is getting to be a little much.

When I had the ruptured ovarian cyst, the doctor prescribed either Tylenol 3 or percoset, and I stayed home for two days popping pills. I did go to an urgent care place, but it was associated with a hospital, so they sent me over to get an ultrasound. I then had a follow-up ultrasound to make sure it was being properly reabsorbed.

Short answer: They should give you the good drugs. That shit is way beyond ibuprofen. However, if it's actually ruptured, it wouldn't do any harm to wait until morning (IF you don't have a fever), except for the pain. Do you have anything stronger around?

More ~ma for Kristin!

Look, Casper kitten is starting to look like an honest to goodness cat! [link]

Thanks for the info, Ginger. I don't have anything stronger around, unfortunately. I'm running a bath now, which I hope will help. The ibuprofen has taken the edge off, but I'm still not feeling great. I really need to go to work tomorrow if at all possible, so I'm going try to stick it out if I can.

When a friend blew a cyst, she was prescribed the heavy stuff by the ER even though advil alone makes her not care and loopier than crochet. So. Call your dr. in the morning.

It isn't a contest. You hurt, you hurt. I still can't believe how much I put up with due to the imminent root canal (and my mom still nags at me about the putting-up-with bullshit), and if one of my friends were doing that? Screw it. Drugs and sleep.

Fuck. The pain isn't getting better. I tried taking a bath, and it's just gotten worse. I think I may need to go into the ER, and I really don't want to.

Edit: And now it's eased up a little. This is ridiculous.

omg Pix!!!! {{{{{ }}}}} What the hell universe??? Back off the Pasadena people already, will ya!

Just popping in to say, after one of the longer tech processes I've had in a long time, we have finally tech'd to the end of the show. It's gonna be ROCKING! Now, hopefully, I will be able to get some sleep soon... please! (maybe Thursday night I can go home at show time...maybe). IMHO, it's one of the better show's I've worked on. It sounds great! And I like it (vs ALNM last year with Drew, which sounded GREAT, but didn't interest me in the least).

OK, back into the breech. We gotta make it rain for the finale... with 15 people in wireless mic's and wireless monitors. Ya. Joy.

{{{Kristin}}} I hope you're ok. ER sucks but pain sucks more.

Lovely lunch with SailAweigh today and a trip with Owen to a really cool toy store. Owen wore his cape (a dish towel clipped on) all day today. We learned not a whole lot of new information at the developmental pediatrician at the University of Wisconsin's Child Development Clinic. But we do have a medical professional's opinion of Owen being on the autism spectrum. Where exactly, is still yet to be determined. He's too young for neuro-psych testing.

As long as I get the capital GREAT.

The pain seems to have calmed itself enough that I may be okay for the night. I'm going to give it another 30 minutes or so and then make a decision. Blah.
