Hello, readers! I hope you enjoyed my little rant yesterday. And now I'm back with some more! I'm sort of kidding, but OMG I'm ready for this month to be done! I wanted to share with you all a recent scare I had. I mentioned how the girls have been so sick. A few nights ago Sydney was coughing so hard in the middle of the night and I dragged myself up to go help her. As I was stumbling into her room, I had this itch under my armpit and I reached up to scratch...and I felt a lump. Right there, a lump. And I immediately panicked. Panicked to the max. A LUMP. I am still young, I have two little children, and I immediately thought of all the worst extremes. It was not a good night.
The next morning I called the doctor and they got me right in for a check. I was hoping they would say, "Oh no, it's nothing." But they didn't say that. They had me go right down to get an ultrasound. I am sitting in this waiting room, surrounded by pamphlets and posters about breast cancer and I was trying really hard not to freak out. I just wanted to go home and hug my babies. They got me right in and they were so nice. In the midst of everything I was really proud to be a nurse because those nurses were amazing. So they did my ultrasound...and it was nothing. Probably just a swollen lymph node from me being sick. I was so relieved I just cried right there! I prayed and thanked God and was just so happy. And then I went home and hugged my babies!
And that was just Monday! Today, as you're reading this, I am having oral surgery. Certainly not as big of a deal as a scary lump, but still, it's a hassel and a pain. I am really not looking forward to it but my jaw has been in lots of pain lately so I am hoping that it will be gone after the surgery. I am just looking forward to coming home after the surgery and snuggling with my girls and resting. Hopefully after this the month will slow down and get better. And seriously, where are those girl scout cookies?
(By the way, did you hear that the new Girl Scout cookie is called Savannah Smiles? That makes me smile.)
