Today started out just like every other day….Kaz woke me up, I wanted to sleep longer so I said “10 more minutes”! When he woke me up, I immediately had to use the bathroom just like every other morning! I hate getting up in the middle of the night, so I usually hold the bathroom as long as I can until I get up. Nothing was different this morning…Since I do that, my stomach always hurts but then the hurt goes away. This morning, it didn’t. It actually hurt so bad in the lower part of my stomach I couldn’t even stand up. I was bent over in pain.
I layed in bed holding my stomach and told Kaz that I needed to go to the doctor. Kaz asked if it was gas pains, I said no but in my mind I kept thinking “Am I making a big deal out of this? What if it is gas pains then I will feel like an idiot”…but the pain was so intense surly it wasn’t gas.
At the doctors office, several test were run and then an ultrasound. My doctor couldn’t believe what she saw on the ultrasound. There was so much fluid around and in my cervix…She said a cyst had burst. BUT get this…She said they rarely see this much fluid because cyst this big usually causes so much pain that women go to the emergency room and have to have them surgically removed. She said it was the size of a lemon! A LEMON!
Are you serious? I’ve heard of women having cyst the size of grapefruits but never thought it would happen to me let alone actually burst! Wow! So I started laughing after the shock, and looked at Kaz and said, “See I told you it wasn’t gas!” Lol!
I’ve always had problems with cyst…I have actually come to hate them but there’s nothing I can do about them! They are just a part of me:)
So needless to say, a lemon has a totally different meaning to me….I’m doing good. I’m not in any more pain just a real uncomfortable feeling but that’s normal!
What’s your Tuesday been like?

Whoa! Hope you're feeling better! A Lemon?! That's nuts! Take care of yourself. :)
Girl, I am so very sorry! I know how bad those can be. I had 2 at one time when I was 16, one that burst and it was the worst pain ever! I then had another that was 10 cm when I got here to Italy. Lets just say the Italian hospital is not fun, especially for a week, and not knowing what they were saying half the time!
Boo to cyst!
I hope your week gets better! Take care of youself!
It is finally warming up here but still not as nice as it is in SC!
Yikes! Glad it burst on it's own!!
I'm not sure if I'll be able to eat Lemonburst yogurt again...
OH MY GOODNESS!!!! Glad you are OK! That is a tad crazy!
I am so sorry. I have the cysts, too, but I have never had one burst. They are the pits, though! Hope you get to feeling totally better!
Oh my gosh! Well I guess it's better you found out about it this way rather than having worse pain and surgery for it. That must have been quite a shock!
Glad you're on the mend friend! Missed you today. Let me know if you need anything.
Holy cow girl! You were so tough, especially since most women have to go to the ER before they burst! You're SUPER WOMAN! I hope you feel better soon!
Well that stinks! I am glad to hear that you are okay now. The funny thing is my mom just called me about an hour ago to tell me shes got to go to get an ultrasound tomorrow because she has a bunch of cysts!But the size of a lemon.....Geeeesse haha!

Ouch! I had the same thing last year, mine was the size of a softball! Hope you feel better soon!!
Wow, I do the "10 more minutes" almost every day. So sorry to hear about your cyst bursting and your pain. Hope it feels normal soon!

Bless your heart! I can't imagine what that pain must have been like. Sure hope you are feeling better and don't have to deal with that again!
Wow Amy! That is just crazy! I hope that you have a great rest of the week after this "lemon" of a day!
OUCH! Prayers for you. I've known so many people here recently that have had cysts, but none that big! You are a trooper!

Wow, my Tuesday was relatively uneventful especially compared to yours. I'm so glad you're feeling better now. Take care!
Yikes! A lemon! Happy to hear you're okay.
That's crazy amy! a lemon? that is not small for something that is not supposed to be there in those intricate parts! wild. I am glad you are ok and didn't end up in surgery! praise the Lord.
Yikes! hate to hear of your bad morning! hope everything is okay. My sister had an ovarian cyst removed the size of a grapefruit when she was 15.
I'm so glad that you are ok!!! I can't believe that it was the size of a lemon!!! A few of my friends have had cysts before like that, but never that size!! Take it easy girl! :) Have a great rest of the week.
Oh my!!! Praying for you!
Holy Cow Amy! That is insane! I hope this is the last lemon you ever burst!
WOW- does not sound fun to me- pray you are doing better.
Ai caramba! How are you feeling today? Praying for you to feel better soon! ;-)
OMG! if my bf asked me if it was gas pains I would have smacked him! haha but I hope you're feeling much better now :)

OH my goodness! How crazy that you weren't in pain from the cyst before it burst! I'm so glad that you're feeling ok now! I can't imagine how not fun that was!!
