Semi-Charmed Life

Someday I’ll be Saturday Night

So much going on these days. Japan is getting royally fucked by mother nature while countries in the middle east are experiencing some type of simultaneous revolution, some more violent than others.

As for myself, I recently moved out of Sheepshead Bay to Bensonhurst and the move has been good for the most part. My ribs have been recovering nicely, which is great. X-rays came back negative for fracture.

Unfortunately though, while bed-ridden and sick last Friday I was contacted by my doctor regarding the ultrasounds that were done on my abdomen. The ultrasounds were to make sure my rib injury didn't mess up any organs inside. I guess my ribs were okay, but the sonograms revealed something growing on my liver. A cyst, the doctor said. The doctor does not think it is cancerous, but he took some urine and blood samples from me as well as ordering some MRIs to be done to further examine the cyst.

I was pretty shaken up initially as my mind raced through all sorts of horrible things this could possibly mean for me. In situations like this, Google is not a reassuring friend.

I'm past the initial worrying phase now though. Worrying does not make the problem go away. My MRI is scheduled for this coming Saturday so I'm hoping for the best. In the meantime, I've been busying myself by catching up with episodes of Modern Family, which is one of the best television shows out right now.
