The funny thing about cysts....



... Is that they can grow back!

You never think about it really. You have a cyst, it gets drained. Boom, done. That's it. But that's not it at all.

No it's going to rear its ugly head again one way or another. In case you couldn't tell I'm talking about Gretchen. She has been putting on some weight as I have explained it. Not too much lately but enough to be noticeable to me again.In the pictures below you can see right after I had it drained on June 3, 2016 and then today August 2, 2016. almost 2 months exactly and its growing back. Um excuse me we did not approve of the refilling. This has gotta go!


I know I know, I should PROBABLY call he ENT and get another ultrasound. And I should probably talk to my husband about getting it removed but here's the thing. The idea of having surgery on my neck. Scares the beejesus out of me.

There I said it. I'm about 90% sure that they are going to need to take some of my thyroid. Cool I get it. But then I will have to take a pill everyday. I'm not that organized. I mean I can do it of course I can. But , uh what if they you know slip. Then I could have jacked up vocal cords. I mean I'm sure Bret wouldn't mind if I couldn't tak for a while, but these are the things I think about. I go to the worst case situation  FIRST and then go down from there.

Anyway since the last post about Gretchen and then the biopsy update I figured I'd give this one too. She is really becoming a pain in the neck... Ah... See what I did there?

Oh Gretchen, its just about time that we cut ties, I mean you have been there for all the big times in my life. But for real girl. Lets get this over with. You have got to go now!

Of course I will document the latest with Gretchen, I mean we all love to hate her!

As always....

I havent peed...

... Without an audience in months! And the reason I tell you that is because I haven't had time alone long enough to finish this blog since before I wrote the last one. I know that sounds crazy. I write this on my phone in the few minutes in the morning before the boys wake up. Or in the bathroom at work. #classy! There is not much at all to catch up on. Mainly because I don't feel as though my day to day is all that
I had a whole get rich quick scheme in mind when I started to do this. I thought I will write a blog. It can't be that hard. Boy was I ever wrong. It's pretty hard to dedicate yourself to something like this. Especially when you don't see a reason for anyone ( even your husband, who you force) to read it. I'm completely honestly not that interesting. But I thought. I know I will start a blog and I'll be sassy, and funny and people will love me. They will forgive my run on sentences, and misspelled words. And I will possibly make some money doing this. Ha jokes on me. Because that only works if you work at it. Nothing comes free. Hot damn does that saying hold so true with this little hobby of mine.

I guess biggest news is..... Drum roll please. The biopsy results came back benign! That's right o just have a hitch hicker in my neck. I don't have cancer which is amazing. I have to go back in a year for another scan and to make sure that it doesn't turn the other cheek and become a jerk. That bein. Said The cyst has started to fill again. Amazing I know. But what does that mean? It means that I eventually need to make another appointment with my ENT to get it looked at and either drained, or removed. Who knows. But again good news is that it's just a hitch hicker.

What else? What else? Have you ever felt like ther is so much you want to say but then nothing comes to mind? That's me , at this very second. This has been sitting and waiting to be posted for probably 4 weeks. And I have opened it and looked at it. The little curser has blinked at me like " hey finish me" but I just haven't felt like there was a way to end this post. So right now I am sitting with my best guy. We are watching the good dinasour. He is eating a cookie , and I am typing away.  It's funny how quickly a toddler will change his mind. Now he is outside splashing in a puddle. Not a worry in the world. And he's having a blast! I want to be like him when I grow up. So happy and full of love.



I will try to be more regular, and hopefully I will find a way to dedicate myself to this better. It's not gonna be what I want it to be without me. So it's time to figure it all out I guess.


Until next time...
