One Thing After Another

I didn't fit in a work-out on Saturday. We were SUPER busy.

And now I feel SUPER guilty because I couldn't work-out yesterday, and I can't work-out today, and probably not tomorrow either. I had to go to the ER yesterday afternoon. I had a severe pain come out of nowhere on my lower right pelvic area...it was so debilitating I couldn't walk. After blood work, a urine sample, a pelvic exam, and a sono it was determined that I have a small (1.6cm) cyst on my right ovary. I have a history of cysts and this one is really small and not showing any signs of causing problems (it's not twisted, it's not filled with blood, etc.). So I'm not understanding why it's causing so much pain. The doctor told me that there could have been a second cyst that ruptured...they don't always see that on a sono after the fact. That would make much more sense. She said *if* it was a ruptured cyst, the pain is usually much better within a day or two.

I'm not really sure where to go from here. I don't know if I should call my midwife tomorrow or wait a couple of days. The pain is much more manageable today so I'm leaning towards giving it another day or two. Cysts are a normal part of the female cycle, but they can cause problems if they do not burst after an egg is released. I'm in the middle of my cycle so it is completely expected that I would have a cyst of this size right now...totally normal. I don't really feel like there is a whole lot my doctor will do except tell me to wait and see what the cyst does after I start another period.

And what does this mean for working out? That's the most frustrating part. How long will I be out of the game? It's a wait and see kinda thing...and I'm not good at "wait and see". Bleh.

Weigh in tonight. I'll be back...
