My life in a nutshell right now

Hello! So after much persistant bugging and nagging from my sister (whom I love), I have decided to blog. At the moment, I don't have anything better to do. I've been lying home on my back all day because I can't move. I spent six hours in the ER last night and after a CT scan and 2 ultrasounds, the doctors concluded that I have a tumor on my left ovary. It's not cancerous and really not even dangerous, but it has been causing some internal bleeding and thus has been extremely painful (hence, my trip to the ER). What's really funny is that I was in the ER 3 weeks earlier due to my peanut allergies. 
So my tumor is called a teratoma tumor (means: grotesque). Basically, its a bunch of unorganized stem-cells that gather together and form into different body parts. So for all I know, I could have a hand or an eyeball or even teeth growing inside of me! Haha It's pretty crazy. They're going to have to surgically remove it but its a minor surgery done mostly with cameras and lasers. So the incision will be minor and recovery only takes one day (thank goodness, cuz I have classes I really need to go to!) So that's my life right now... A little crazy but it'll get better quick. And then maybe I'll have normal stuff to talk about...maybe. haha!
Till I write again!
