Mystery Lump

Ever since my early teens I have had back trouble. It stems mainly I believe from when a lifted and carried a washing machine across my backyard on a dare. I hurt my back pretty bad, and even urinated some blood…It wasn’t pretty. However I still have the back pains, and so today I was rubbing my back, trying to work out the pain, or pop something back into place.

However while rubbing my back I felt a mysterious lump there. I don’t rub my back often, so not sure how long it has been there. I am however certain it’s not supposed to be there. This isn’t based on any medical knowledge…just one of those things you KNOW in your gut.

Not a clue what it is, but it has left me a wee bit worried. I definately intend on going to see a doctors about it, if I can remember to get an appointment, AND get someone to take me down to the docs office. Since I don’t drive, it makes things like appointments very difficult. On top of that, being in a small town like I am makes it also very difficult to get into see the doctor. There is also a good chance the doctor won’t know what it is, and just tell me it’s nothing to worry about.

I’m sure it isn’t a tumor….but it could be I suppose right? They can appear on your back right? Good chance it could just be some fatty deposit, and the odds of me having some kind of tumor are like…what? Astronomical? Even still, it’s not impossible..and the people who do end up having tumors have the same odds as I do. So, it definately can happen.

Just hope it isn’t a tumor…In the immortal words of Arnold Schwarzenegger.. “Eets not a TUMOR!!!! Ok?? EETS NOT A TUMOR!”…

Knock on wood.

Grandmas home!

Good news, my Granny was released from the hospital today. She’s feeling a little better, although slightly weakened, but that’s to be expected I suppose. However the important thing is that she’s OK and she’s home 🙂 I must admit I was slightly worried….ok, maybe a little more than slightly…lol

My Granny

My Grandma ended up going to the hospital today. Although from what I gather its not serious, I am still worried about her! You see, my Grandma isn’t as young as she once was, nor is she as young as she likes to think she is. In fact, she is for the most part living on borrowed time. So, despite the fact that her “Condition” isn’t too serious, the fact that shes spending a few days in the hospital in it’s self isn’t good!

I’m not exactly sure what’s wrong with her, I have just been assured its not too serious. From what I have been told, her “Electrolytes” are low? Now, I don’t know what those things are, but apparently them being low is a bad thing, and can cause all kinds of weird and strange things to happen to your body. This is apparently what happened to my dear ol’ Granny. Doctors have told my family that she should be quite fine. They want to keep her a few days to monitor her and to hook her to an IV, just to be “Sure”.

I do hope she is ok. I am fully aware that women on her side of the family don’t live too long. Hell, the men don’t either. In fact, she’s the longest living family member in the history of the family! So, I am aware that her time is drawing near. That doesn’t mean I will accept it gracefully when it does happen though. You see, my grandma maybe a lot of things. She’s mean, she’s insultive, she can be sometimes cold or insensitive. However in the end, what it boils down to is this; She’s my Grandma. Although she and I argue and fight a lot. I love her with all my heart, and worry about her constantly. Even when we are fighting I love her.
