Hi guys. It’s the middle of the night, I know, but I’m up and in a fair amount of pain still. I slept until 2:30pm--which is extremely unlike me and a sign of my body’s need to heal--and I thought I was feeling a lot better for a few hours. Then I started moving around. And no, nothing stupid, just normal stuff like showering and emptying the dishwasher. Yeah, bad idea. Pain came back worse than it was yesterday, and a Percocet only relieved it for about an hour. (It’s not extreme pain, but a consistent 5 or 6 on the pain scale in my lower back and lower abdomen that gets worse with any movement.) I can take one every four hours and am watching the clock for when I’m allowed to take the next one. I will call my OB/GYN in the morning to make a follow-up appointment, but I’m feeling pretty down and a little scared about the whole thing. I’ve had PCOS my entire adult life, but I’d never had a rupture until two years ago. I really hope my doctor can help me to find a solution. I really don’t want to keep dealing with these, and I’m scared it could be something more serious.

Oh, Pix, I'm so sorry you're in pain. It is scary, and of course upsetting to have to go through. I hope you're able to get some sleep and relief tonight and that your doctors have a good course of action for you tomorrow. In the meanwhile, take it easy!

Thanks, Liese. Getting support here means a lot.

For sure. I'm glad the elk bugling in my yard woke me up! Well, through Seabiscuit.

But yeah, being in pain in the night is no fun but at least you're not whistling into a vacuum. You're not alone.

I'm sorry, Pix. I hope your Ob-Gyn can find a way to stop this from happening again.

Pix, I am so sorry. I hope you were able to get some sleep.

Pix,

man, I hope you get relief soon. As someone who once had to take vicodin AND advil for cramps, I can believe that you don't have anything more serious going on - despite all the pain.

Those little fucker female organs are a bitch.

Health ~ma going out to Dana's grandma. I'll leave the smiting of the doctors to others more eloquent.

Has anyone heard from Matt the Bruins Fan? I have been thinking about him a lot and don't know if he has internet yet.

Today is doctor day for me. A bunch of cardiac type checks. EKG, Echo, US, blood stuff. The only annoying part is no coffee or breakfast or anything until probably after noon. I would have slept in, but it didn't happen.

Matt posted in Natter yesterday.

Thanks, Tom. I'll drop him a note.
