I'm alive and kicking, well maybe not kicking but I'm up and about. I'm moving slowly and am bored, very bored.

My doctor told my parents that the cyst and ovary were softball size so it appears "Junior" was growing like a weed for only two weeks ago he was just the size of a tennis ball. The growth was benign and that was by far the best news of all.

I'm very bruised on the right side and the bruising appears and feels like it is very deep. My guess is this must have been the side they worked out of for the left side (the side with the growth) feels great and has little bruising. I've been putting ice packs on my right side to help reduce some of the bruising and swelling and it does seem to be helping.

I took three short walks yesterday, each about 1/2 mile or so. I walked about 3/4 miles this morning and am planning on another walk this afternoon. My mom took me to Wal-mart this morning so I could do some shopping (I can't drive until tomorrow). It felt great to be out of the house albeit brief.

Yesterday was not a good day mainly because of the discomfort from the bruising. Today is a bit better and I know with each passing day I'll feel better and stronger. I just have to figure out how to reduce my boredom levels.

So all in all life is good. Thanks for asking about me.
