Oh, poo. I have to have surgery and it's the one that keeps me in hospital for 3 days and out of work for a month!→[More:]
I have a cyst the size of a plum, a DERMOID CYST on my ovary. There's a chance (10%) they'll have to remove my ovary! Pah. Plus I'm gonna feel like shit for a month. I'd better get the good drugs. I'll know my surgery dates in a couple of weeks.

Guess I'll be on here a lot.

Here's to good drugs, a speedy recovery, the keeping of your ovary and lots of time on metachat.

and, to top it off, my boss has managed to delete all the events in her calendar!

It is SO MONDAY.

All the best to you. You've always got MetaChat!

Is that the kind that sometimes grows teeth in them?

I'm totally serious.

Well, here's to seeing more of you around here.

Hang in there, kid; it will be such a relief when it's finally over and you can recuperate in peace without having to worry about tests and more tests, and surgeries.

wait... what? Teeth?!!!!

posted by taz 17 July | 06:42

It's a dermoid cyst. I do not know if they grow teeth. I don't want to know if it does.

also they might not find money to renew my contract here. which means they don't like me, because when i was hired it was said 'we've always been able to switch people onto something else if we can't find money.'

I don't really feel like 'hanging in there' right now.

All my best, grace.

Metachat is GREAT when you're on painkillers!

Tough Break. But at least you get to kick back for a bit.

Rough Monday indeed BtGoG. I am sure a month of painkillers and radio mecha will help?

Bosses who delete things and then expect you to get them back should be punched in the back of the head.

I had fun when I was recovering from surgery and was on drugs and MeChat at the same time.

Good luck, BtGoG.

So sorry to hear it, by the grace. Sounds like the great trash truck of life is dumping on you right at this moment. Just keep checking in with us. I hope it all goes as smoothly as possible, that there are no teeth, and that you keep your ovary. The girl parts are so hard to manage!

posted by Miko 17 July | 09:05

That sucks, btgog. You're welcome to one of my ovaries as a replacement.

*sends well wishes*

I'd volunteer my ovaries as well since I'm not using them, but I don't think that'll help.

*big hugs*

All the best, btgog... sorry you have to have surgery... here's to a speedy healing...

posted by Pips 17 July | 13:27

I hope your surgery is soon, quick, and your healing miraculous! And looking forward to hearing from you more often!
