Morning- complaining inside

Wonderw1fe

I told my dad last night. That was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life. He was ok, I guess. He wasn't surprised. I guess we both knew something was wrong.

Thus far the worst part of this is trying to go to sleep at night. I take the Percocet more to knock myself out than to manage any pain. Otherwise I stare at the ceiling going over every worse-case scenario in my mind, no matter how much I try to stop myself.

Ugh. This post is too depressing. Let's laugh at Angelea from ANTM.

I think that a lot of the time the period where you are waiting to find out results is worse than knowing what the problem is - because at least if you know, you can start on a treatment plan instead of visualizing all the possibilities.   I'm glad things went well with your dad.

Here's another ANTM gif - I have no idea what is going on here though

How about some terrible jokes?

Do you know what they say about camping?

It's intense. In tents. Intense. Get it? GET IT?!

You will be fine Ww. You did something you have to do. I stick by that you need some you time. If that's watching bad day time tv to find out who is the father of Y'akaqawaddlesauce great. If it's a spa day take it. If it's tripping children - go for it. You need some smiling and relaxation.

**O-Face**

If you trip children...tape it.  I want to see that.

You're a strong lady Ww, but even strong ladies deserve a time of weakness, and good for you for telling your dad.

Well, at least telling your dad is over with.  One less thing to worry about, right?  I'm glad he took it okay. 

How are you doing, overall?

I'm glad you told your dad. I know the waiting period is the worst part, and once you have a diagnosis, you'll have a plan to follow.

I hope that things improve. Take some time for yourself.

I won a free massage at a local spa, I wish I could send it to you.

Glad things went well with your dad.

Here's another bad joke:

Gynecologist gets home from a long day at work. His wife greets him at the door wearing sexy lingerie. Gyn shakes his head, holds up his hand and says "If I see one more today..."

Physically, I'm doing ok. The pain is still there, but on a 1-10 scale, it's only about a 2. I've had period cramps worse. Mentally... I guess I'm having the typical reaction, you know?

i'm glad you took it well, and i am glad wonderdad took it well.

This sounds very normal. I think your brain has to go on overdrive when you hear scary news.

How is your husband?

WonderH is living up to his name, and then some. I can't really put into words how fantastic he is. But you guys know that.

I can't really talk about him w/out falling apart, you know?

Glad to hear you told your Dad and that he took it well.

I didn't expect anything less.:)

You and the hub need to do something this weekend just the two of you. Something silly and fun, and will take your mind off of all of this for a while.You need to be in the present and this moment today, because no one can predict their future. None of us can.

You can tell WonderH (if he ever misbehaves) that this is because of all of that flax seed crap he was forcing on you.

Honestly, though, waiting is always the worst. Just remember that no matter what the results you have a team on your side (friends, family, medical) who are with you to help you fight whatever type of demon you need to.

I am glad you got over that hurdle.

You mentioned counseling and I think that is great. It would give you an outlet for your thoughts and feelings that is not WonderHusband. Working on your coping skills and managing your thought processes could really be helpful.

I am keeping you in my thoughts and wishing all the best for you.
