perfumes, spices, and toxins....and cysts.

I'm so happy we have our field show complete!
Even though there's a lot of work to be done still, I feel good knowing we can finally march and play the whole thing now.

Anyway.
SOME NEW INFORMATION regarding my "condition" has come into my hands !
But it's a little whack.
So the nurse called my mom today.
And she said that THERE ARE CYSTS IN MY OVARIES.
And at first I was like "NO. FCK. WHY'D THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN TO ME?"
But then apparently it's really common for people to have them, LOL.
She said that usually ovarial cysts either go away on their own or don't really cause harm.
However, in my case she said it's a little bit different because she thinks the cysts are either a partial cause of my uber long period, or they're hurting my ovaries.
So she said she wants me to take some x-rays and take the INTERNAL ULTRASOUND.
That nasty one where they stick a stick up your privates :[
And on top of that, I have to get "blood labs" which is basically a series of blood tests.
For some people, like my dad, it's like "whatever, blood tests don't even hurt".
But I've never in my whole entire life gotten a blood test, LOL.
I know. I'm fifteen and whenever I go to the doctors I always end up avoiding blood tests and I just get finger pricks instead.
HAHA, MANNN.
So anyway.
OH YES.
So this is where the whack part comes.
The nurse and doctor said they're pretty sure that despite the test results they're going to have to REMOVE THE CYSTS.
(Uh, okay so what's the point of taking the tests to begin with?!)
But yeah. Unfortunately they neglected to disclose to me what "removing the cysts" entails.
Like I'm not sure if I can just drink some magic potion and be done with it, or if they're going to have to effing cut them out through surgery.
My mom thinks it's the latter. ):
BUT ANYWAY.
It's better to fix things late than never.
Better safe than sorry, and all that.
And I guess I'd rather go through some physically scary stuff and be able to be SUPERSTRONG next marching season than have something wrong internally forever, and suck next season too.
Okay then.
NIGHT.

p.s. Dude, the shaved heads for CHINO are freaking awesome. MAJOR PROPS to Frank. I think it's cool that he just happens to know how to shave heads. Haha.
But yeah. Props also to all the people who went through with it; THAT'S dedication!
