What I have been going through this week ....
This week has been a bit scarey for me. I had discovered a lump about a week ago and went to have it looked at immediately by my pcp. The lump is in a very private place so I was seriously nervous. 
Anyway, my pcp agreed that I do in fact have something there and told me to see a surgeon. Up went my stress level immediately. I saw the surgeon on Thursday. Whew!!! He examined the lump and diagnosed the problem. It seems that the constipation we may experience as a result of this surgery caused me to develop a blood clot filled hemmeroid. Since it has not caused me any pain, he said not to be concerned. My body will reabsorb the blood clot in about 3 weeks. I mae him promise me that I wouldn't need to have anything else done down there. He assured me that it would be ok. I left his office feeling like the weight of that building was off my shoulders. I guess I will need to take that fiber tablet more often. 
A fw years ago when I had a reaction to glucophage- the hospital er discovered I have what is called an adenoma. This is a non-specific mass on the adrenal gland. While I was seeing my pcp, he informed me that during my surgery he became concerned about it but didn't want to add to my anxiety at that time. Anyway, I left the surgeons office to go straight to have another CTscan. I am still waiting for the results of that test to come back. 
I am hoping it was just a fluke and that once again I am told that nothing needs to be done.
I don't know if I should love my doctor or just avoid him at this point in time. 
Remember to drink drink drink those fluids and get that fiber in the best way possible.
Smooches,

Thanks Heather. I have been resting, a little too much perhaps. I tried to nap all day, but the evil beings next door were throwing things at the wall. They finally stopped and I slept. I was out too late having some good fun with my son last night. Now i must fire up my lap top and get some work done.
