Ok so I am slightly...

rachelea

...a hypocondriac. I know this, I always have been, not really sure why, maybe it has to be genetics since my grandma was a chronic worrier. Anyway, I just finished in the shower after work and there is this weird purplish mark, kind of a sideways question mark, across my abdomen. Its pretty big, probably over 6 inches in length, 3 inches high. It isn't dark or anything, not really a bruise, kind of faint but definitely not normal. FI says it looks like I scraped up against something, but it doesn't hurt and there's no broken skin and I don't remember doing anything remotely capable ot making a mark like that. Soooo I'll be keeping an eye on it...and of course all kinds of things are going through my mind, any of you ladies have the HARDEST time casting all your cares on him? It is so hard to keep my mind from worrying instead of trusting, argh.

Yeah, I'm a major hypocondriac, haha I wouldn't worry about it. You may have rubbed up against something without realizing, even though it doesn't hurt. Just keep an eye on it, I'll bet its gone in a few days

And no googling!! Don't google, it's bad for you mental health

stay away from the med-webs!  Stay away!!!  

Anyway... I have no clue what the mark would be.  Sometimes bruises take a while to darken, and the abdomen CAN injure easily if you accidentally scrape up against something or hold a box too tightly against you, or lean too hard against something.  Sometimes we don't realize just how much damage we do to ourselves... like slouching in chairs, which is bad for the back... anyway... :-) 

HAPPY FRIDAY, YALL!!!! :-)

I went to the doctor monday about something and she couldn't give me a definite on what was wrong. So I understand your worries. We are getting down to the wire for the wedding and having anything be physically wrong is going to be a bit of a worry. It's hard to trust God but that's all we can really do because worrying won't get us anywhere (i'm talking to myself too haha) I will be praying for you!

FI and I were JUST DISCUSSING my worrying problems last night during our Bible study, lol.  I definitely have trouble with casting my cares on Him.  And since I work in a hospital, I'm like paranoid about touching anything, haha.  I'm not as much of a hypochondriac these days as I used to be, but I understand where you're coming from.

I agree with Joy- google is not good! I remember googling stuff and then getting all worried for nothing. I bruise really easily too and I always have bruises when I didn't even remember hitting anything. I'm sure you will be fine, but I know it's hard to not worry. I will pray!
