Dr. today

We made it through this afternoon, it appears that the ER Dr who told us about the cyst was off a bit, instead of a 10 centimeter cyst she has a 10 milimeter cyst, slight difference there. But the GYN thinks the cyst is being caused by her endomitriosis, so we were faced with lots of options, do nothing and see if it goes away (as most ovarian cysts do), try birth control pills to control the symptoms and see if it goes away (there is a chance that would work, but no guarantee), try this new medication that will basically shut down her estrogen production and throw her into menopause, or surgery. We chose to go the forced menopause route because the Dr flat out said it was the option her would chose for his own wife, which was my first question about the choices. I'm not sure how I really feel about this, but I am hopeful that it is going to work as well as he says it will.

I still haven't done any knitting, I've spent most of the day trying not to cry, I'm happy that Dyan is going to be OK, that there isn't some massive thing growing inside her like we thought, but I am still just to depressed to move. I want to knit, I just don't have the energy, how sad is that.

On an up note, our littlest one, Sean had his name on TV this week for being a "Positive Person" at school, that means one of the staff "caught" him doing something nice for someone else. That was cool, we had fun playing with the camera trying to take a picture of his name on TV, we finally got it after 4 tries. ;o)

And my grandpa came to visit, and he was playing with the camera, and he took a picture of D and I standing by the tree, which finally has more decorations that just the garland, but still everything on it one of us made.

Blessed be
