Day from hell
Today I got some of the worst news I’ve ever been forced to live with. I went for an ultrasound of my uterus and ovaries and I found out I have polycystic ovary disease. As I’m looking at the screen, the technician is explaining to me what shes seening, and one move of the wand and she says "Here’s our problem. Heres a cyst, and here is another cyst on top of that one." I turned my head away from the screen in hopes her nor my boyfriend would see tears rolling down my face, but as soon as the lights got turned on, it was pretty evident. The tech, carol, told me everything would be okay and that Jake (my boyfriend) would take me out for ice cream, which made me more upset. So I have to live with this obnoxious live stopping pain until I can talk to the doctor on monday. We went out for breakfast and I had a spinach omelet and I didnt even eat it. I picked at my home fries though, cause I know I wont be eating carbs anymore. I came home and went to bed and just woke up. I’m making myself a pot of yum soup with chard, carrot, celery, beans and turkey meat balls. It smells good in here. Hopefully it will take away some of the depression that im going to have this problem intermittently until menopause. mlehhh… I want a beer
Worst of all I have plans go to to the bar with my brother tonight, and I dont know whether I should tell him tonight or wait. I dont want to riun his night too

Just happened upon this blog, and I’m so sorry. In regards to telling your brother….yes, you should tell him. The larger your support group, the better. And if I were your brother, I would be much more upset if you did NOT tell me!! Whatever your faith or beliefs, there is power in prayer, so I will pray for you, ok?

I just stumbled in here too. I hope all goes well with your next appointment. My wife is dealing with something similar at the moment. There are some options out there so I would not be too quick to get down. I would also tell your brother so he can understand and give you a shoulder that is what family is for. Keep your head up.
