Its gone!!

So today I had a follow up appointment with my doctor to check my cyst. After arriving at his office the receptionist told me it might be a while, he had gone to McKay Dee to deliver a baby. So waited with a room full of odd people. Four of them were not speaking English, they had a baby that did not want to be held or put down or eat or anything pretty much. I was guessing he was about ten months and mom was on her second child, I need her fertility! The other couple was two women, guessing they were friends, don't know for sure. One of the women was doing something with her ear, then she had blood running down her neck, gross! Thank goodness the doctor called and was on his way back. The nurse took us all back to different rooms and in order to check my cyst I had to take my bottoms off and sit in my pretty pink napkin, that does not quiet fit around my well endowed bottom for what seemed like forever.

I had drank a lot of water before my appointment and had used the potty before my appointment. Well by the time my doctor came in I really needed to go. So he did the ultrasound and saw this huge black ball on the screen and asked "is that your bladder?" I replied, "probably I really have to go, I had been waiting a while." So I got to run out of my room to the potty in nothing but my shirt and pink napkin. Good thing I was his last appointment! So we went back to finish the ultrasound to find..... nothing! Hooray! My cyst disappeared, now lets hope thats the last of them!

Now I have also been asked by a friend about my diet. I don't really have a set diet because I don't want to or have the money to by a bunch of stuff that I can't feed my family or money to join a group. I did find a book I really like called Eat This, Not That! Supermarket guide. It has great tips and recipes in it. Along with about every food you can think of that you can buy at the supermarket. It compares food in a single group like Ice Cream and tell you which ones are better for you and why and the ones that are not good for you and why. I love it! It has helped a lot when grocery shopping and choosing better choices for our family. There is also two other books with the same name one is a family survival guide, the other I am not sure but the book is yellow. The other two books I have looked at and they also have restaurant information, it will tell you better choices between meals at several different restaurants. Anyway, using this book and taking a prescribed med from my doctor has helped me lose weight. I hope this is helpful! :)

Yippee, Im glad the cyst has disappeared! I hope that brings some relief in such a crappy situation. I have read through one of the books in the Eat This series and it was quite interesting, I had no idea they had one for the supermarket. I should probably look into that! It was great to see all of you on Saturday, we should get together lots this summer for BBQ's and such!
