Looking for McDreamy for Thanksgiving?

Happy late Turkey Day to everyone.We are celebrating Thanksgiving a day later then normal. I, Shannon decided my life was going to smoothly and had to have some "Excitement". I was a woke on Wednesday morning with a sharp pain in my lower right side. I got up, took some Advil and tried to go back to sleep. At 6:oo, I gave up. I have some issues with adhesion's from a past surgery, so I chalked it up to that. Off to work I went. As I was assisting, I started to feel worse and worse, to the point of tears and bent over at the waist in pain. Dr. Guy was wonderful as were all my co-workers. Sonya...the mom of the office drove me to the ER here in Anchorage. I thought this is great 3 weeks in Alaska,new job and I have no idea what or where Sonya is taking me. Could have been a bush village witch Dr. for all I knew. But,all I wanted was out of pain NOW. So after an IV & several tests, we ruled out kidney stones,appendix and kidney issues. What I did get to have was a cyst that erupted on my ovary. It is 5mm long and considered a "Complex cyst" seems that it will also do it again in the next few days as per the ultra sound.I can't wait. So, we got out of the ER at about 3 pm (good time for an ER visit)Dr. Guy had called several times to make sure I was alive...very sweet. I am now on pain meds with the anticipation of the next "Attack" I have to follow-up with a OB Dr. on Monday in order to get treated for this. Seems it will not just go away. Only get bigger and then be a bigger issue. Yeah! We love being a girl! Tony was awesome as usual. He is always by my side waiting and watching over me. Never leaves my side unless I kick him out.
After we got home we got a call from Dr. Guy's mom. She incested we were coming over for dinner on Thanksgiving. She would not take no for an answer and even said she would send Guy to get us. We agreed to come over for a wile and it was wonderful. They are all so great and caring. We ate and they played WII with Karter. Another 3 more of my co-workers showed up and we all just visited and laughed and I relaxed and did nothing. Senior Dr. Burk slept in his chair right next to me and we just enjoyed watching and listening to everyone. I am so lucking to have found such a great office to be part of. Much different from the last adventure in Fairbanks.
They make me feel like I have always been there. Dr. Guy worried all day and kept tabs on me. I told him I was fine and he said " I just found you and can't lose you" Sweet, but to much drama..lol I am fine. We got home early and watched a movie together. James called at about 9:00,he is in Minnesota with his sister and He will be home in a week.I can't wait to see him!
We are having our Turkey today with Jimmie and I will post the WII tournament pictures tomorrow.
I have so many things that I am Thankful for this year that they are to long to list, but know that all of my family and dear friends are on the top of the list. You are always there for me and I cherish each and everyone of you!
Happy Thanksgiving to you!
Much love!

I've had that pain before. So Sorry! It's a real bugger and you do feel like death would be a much better option. Hang in there.
