On My Happy Cloud

After the Doctor

I woke up in a bad mood this morning. I don't really know why though. I had my coffee and got me a newspaper and then got ready for my doctor's appt.

It went ok. My doctor was great. She told me, after questioning me, that I've gone through everything that they normally suggest in my situation but she is going to go ahead and put me on birth control anyway. She's putting me on the kind where you don't have any periods, er, period. Which, I don't know how I really feel about that but after last Monday nights batch of cramps in which a darvocet and flexiril did nothing to relieve the pain, I feel like I'm at my wits end. I'm super frustrated and will do anything she recommends and if that doesn't work, well we can try something else.

After my exam, she said everything looked normal. That I was, over all, in good health. So why the fuck the cramps then? Well, she scheduled me for an ultra-sound next week to rule out cysts or tumors and then after that, I don't know. I guess I could have endometriosis. Who knows? Who cares? What matters is I'm not in bed for three days straight letting this damn thing run my life when it feels like it.

I feel better afterwards now though. Quite pleased.

Plus, to top my day off Ryan bought me the new Queens of the Stone Age album!! I love it. Now, Ryan Adam's new CD comes out Tuesday!!

HOO-RAY!!!

Much love and happiness,
