Sorting Through....... in Majimaze Musing!

Hi there any readers left! I have decided it is the right time to pen another entry. I apologise for my absence. The last 5 months have been full on for me and the amount of changes I have had to make have been enormous. Always another challenge! And yet another one in a few days! Having to rethink my way of conducting my life and my thinking left me ‘discombobulated and discontent!’ So much so that I couldn’t sit down quietly and write about it.
However, now seems right. I told you in my last entry about my back injury and having to be almost immobile for 12 weeks. Well, I did that and I was successful in getting my mobility back to a reasonable degree with either a walking frame or a walking stick. However, I am NOT painfree and an MRI revealed 3 vertebrae squeezing out through widespread arthritis of my spine and hips.
Yes, I sort of guessed that! Not an easy fix.
It was what the MRI also revealed which threw me in a tail-spin! A large 18cm by 12cm ovarian cyst with approx 3 kg of fluid in it. What?
Yes, I was speechless and shocked ! And when they gave me an ultrasound scan all I could see was a big black blob nearly covering the screen with a tiny other blob which is my bladder! Ulp!!is the only response I could give.
It has taken me a further 2 months and 3 appointments to even come to terms with it!
Yes it has to come out and yes this is my next challenge. Wednesday this week I am having it removed.Whichever way I looked at it I could see no alternative! They cannot aspirate it as a strong risk of leaking so a full on abdominal operation is required.
I am naturally surgical averse, however, this is an alien my body has conceived and has to go! I am 74 years old. My heart is fine and my lungs and my general health excellent however, I am still scared stiff! AND I am still in strong pain! Also I am very cross!
Anyway, it has to be done as carrying 3kg extra and the sheer size is not helping, so am gritting my teeth and going in! The sooner I get it out the sooner I can get back to continuing my rehabilitation of my back.
The orthopaedic specialist wants to see me in another 6 months, so that gives me ample time to see how much I can do for myself! And NO MORE nasty surprises PLEASE!! I may have to have back surgery ,however, not thinking about it right now as my peabrain is overloaded!
The reason I have not been able to write is that I have grown to hate talking about myself!
Anyway, Have to go now as visitors arriving. Wish me luck and lotsa prayers please.
God Bless and Love,
Majimazexxxx
