GROSS PICS, AS PROMISED!

[clex_monkie89]

Below the cut are pictures taken with my brand new BlackBerry Bold of the pictures we have of my cyst after they took it out. The pictures are INSANELY gross and the flash from my phone makes them look a tiny bit scarier.

THIS WAS TAKEN OUT OF ME, HOLY CRAP.

Ignore how it kind of looks like a heart when you tilt your head.


That white thing? Is a full 12-inch ruler. YEAH. THEY TOOK THAT OUT OF ME.


Seriously. SO GLAD it was non-cancerous.

Whoa. Dude. *boggles at the size* Glad to hear it was non-cancerous and you're doing okay!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

I continue to be utterly boggled at the size AND luck myself.

[celtic-cookie.livejournal.com]

HOLY CHRIST!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

SRSLY

[deadlychameleon.livejournal.com]

Holy crap, honey, I'm glad you're doing better, and I'm only going to ask this once, but how did you not notice this?

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Because I've been the same weight, give or take ten pounds, for the last five years, and when I tried to lose it and nothing happened I just got disappointed and assumed I wasn't dieting enough or whatever. I didn't realize every pound I lost went out of ME and into the cyst.

[missyjack.livejournal.com]

O.O

FUCKING HELL.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

I KNOW, RIGHT?

[drvsilla.livejournal.com]

That is amazing. I literally boggled. Am so glad it's out and gone, and best, benign.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

It is so utterly insane.

[cynical-terror.livejournal.com]

oh my god! I'm so glad you are okay! Where was the cyst?

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Technically it was on my right ovary. And by "technically" I mean it started there and grew so big that the top of my scar is about a half-inch, inch below the bottom of the bra-line. And the bottom it down at my pelvis, at the bikini line.

[rivers-bend.livejournal.com]

My god. I'm so glad it was benign and that now it's gone!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Me too, that was, like. So insanely scary.

[janglyjewels.livejournal.com]

Good Lord!! Whoa! I am so glad you are ok.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

HUGE, right?

[winterweathered.livejournal.com]

Your body must look and feel so different. That's incredible!

[winterweathered.livejournal.com]

Also - how much did it weigh again? And how much do YOU weigh now? I only saw you briefly in Orlando but I don't remember you looking big enough to have THAT in your belly!

[tabaqui]

JAYZUS.
How in hell did you *function* with that inside of you? That's just....mindboggling.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

It's amazing the kinds of things you don't notice until afterwards. Bad heartburn that becomes acid reflux so bad meds don't always work, constant "pulled muscles" in your stomach and back, insane cramps on your period, etc, etc.

[ninamonkey.livejournal.com]

Wow...I've seen and heard about ovarian cysts this large, but I'm really glad you're okay and it's non-cancerous. Good heavens, dear heart.

Something like that can do all kinds of nonsense with everyone of your bodily systems (mind, emotions, etc).

*Hugs*

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Yeah, when I was in the ER they couldn't say it was non-cancerous, just that they had to call in the OBGYN/Oncologist, and I've watched enough House to know Oncologist means cancer. I freaked out so bad they had to pump me full of Ativan.

[lemmealone.livejournal.com]

HOLY CRAP. That might actually be the coolest thing I have ever seen. You should keep it in a jar on your coffeetable.

...A really big jar.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

XD

BEST. ICON. EVER.

[denyce.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* Wow just WOW! So happy you're okay, seriously!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Thanks, bb!

[laser-radiation.livejournal.com]

0.o
Holy shit, that things's HUGE!

55 pounds, you said? I feel like I should be grossed out, but I can't look away from it.

I'm so glad you're okay.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

ISN'T IT INSANE?

[annella.livejournal.com]

OHHHH MY GOD THAT WAS INSIDE YOU. MY MIND IS OFFICIALLY BLOWN. :O

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY. MY BODY, IT GOES ALL BIG HOURGLASS-LIKE AGAIN! IT HASN'T BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEEEEEEEEARS.

[lp05.livejournal.com]

holy crap...im glad you're okay.
i might have cysts on my ovaraies too..im getting it checked out next week.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Good luck!

[huggenkiss.livejournal.com]

Man, you said the size and weight but actually seeing it - WOW!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

I know, right? It's one thing to hear it and picture it in your head, but to see what that REALLY looks like is insane.

[slytherinblack.livejournal.com]

Holy crap. Um. *rubs it for luck?* That is truly impressive. Sounds like you're gonna be feeling a lot better now. O_o

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

It's SO WEIRD, because I can't really feel the difference yet with the surgery soreness except when I, like, climb on my bed.

[velithya]

JESUS FREAKING CHRIST. I JUST. THAT THING. IS HUGE.

BB I am SO GLAD that it is OUT of you and you can get on with your life and being much healthier *hugs* I think you are totes going to have the best scar to show off at Wincon out of everyone ;P

also it definitely looks like a heart ♥

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

IT'S A FREAKIN' FIRST GRADER.

I am going to have such a massive, cool scar to show off the everyone. And I should JUST be able to do everything again, and not have to worry about lifting limits or anything like that.

[chaosmanor.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that is fucking huge. Congratulations on not having to carry that around, and best wishes for a rapid and awesome recovery.

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

It's really scary retro-actively how huge that is. Thank you!

[tsukinofaerii.livejournal.com]

D: HOLY FUCKING HELL. (clinging forever and ever)

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

*CLINGS BACK*

[jeyhawk.livejournal.com]

WOW! I'm completely amazed by how gross and HUGE that is. It must be such a relief to have it out (once the surgery pain goes away).

I hope you have a speedy recovery. :0)

Seriously, I can't stop looking at it (medical things interest me). Ouch!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

It's so WEIRD to think that was IN me, and for who knows how long. It's sure good ti have it out though, even if I can't feel much of a real difference yet.

[essenceofmeanin.livejournal.com]

OH MY GOD. DUDE. i'm so glad you're okay!

[clex_monkie89.livejournal.com]

Isn't it NUTS?
