Cyst News

I was supposed to have my cyst removed this Friday, but the doctor is going to be out of the office that day, so I had to reschedule. Now I'll be waiting until March 5th - only two more weeks, so that's fine.

Although I was kind of looking forward to getting it over with. :)

So, day one of behaving went really well! I stayed to the food I had scheduled for the day, and I rode the exercise bike for 15 minutes. The bike was harder than it has been, because Jim adjusted the tension on it - is that the right word? Anyway, he made it harder. I never touch the knob (it's Jim's bike, I don't want to mess up his settings), but apparently it was on like zero resistance, so he upped it. I did turn it back down a bit (he's in much better shape than I am), but I kept more on it than I've been feeling, and that 15 minutes seemed like it would never end! And when I was done, I was feeling out of breath and tired, which really, I should feel after a workout. So I was pleased with myself.

Today is day two! I have my food all planned for the day, for the most part. Dinner is a question mark, because Jim said he might get us Subway for dinner. If he doesn't, I'll have my last piece of leftover lasagna, so either way, I'll be happy. And I'll have enough calories left for either, so it won't matter which way we go.

I'm not looking forward to that bike tonight, though! :) I am, however, looking forward to watching the last night of the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show! I love dog shows. The working dogs are my favorite, and their group is tonight. Woo!

Rambling

I don't really have much to say today, but I wanted to update anyway. Jim and I had a very nice weekend, and Sunday turned into sort of a cheat day while we ate Lay's Stax and watched football games. :) It's all okay, though, because I got back on track with my calories yesterday, and my uterus is finally doing it's monthly job, so I'm feeling good.

So, my mammogram went well last week. It wasn't bad at all - a small bit of pain while they were squished, but nothing unbearable. When I was done, she went and looked at them and told me she'd see me next year, so I guess I'm fine. I'm sure my doctor will talk to me about the scans when she sees me in February anyway, though.

Thursday morning I have to go get blood drawn for my annual fasting bloodwork. My mother had diabetes, heart attacks and strokes, so there is a lot of stuff to look for in my blood, to make sure I don't follow her down those paths. Fingers crossed.

And then in February I get to go back again to get a cyst cut out of my head! I don't know if I mentioned it in here, but I found a bump on my head in November, I think, and have since found it is a cyst. It's been bothering me - it hurts when I comb my hair, wash my hair and sleep on my right side - so the doctor is going to cut it out. She warned me that she would have to shave a bit of my hair, but I knew that, and it'll grow back and I'll be able to cover the shaved spot, so it's fine. Then she said I wouldn't be able to wash my hair for two days! Uh, that's a bigger deal than you shaving a patch of it off. Hee. So I scheduled the procedure for a Friday, so that my greasy haired days can be on the weekend, when I'm not at work and don't have to leave the house if I don't want to.

Okay, that's all I have for today. I'll be back Friday, if not before, with my weigh-in. :)
