Hi all! I'm sure most of you haven't really noticed my absence and that's okay. Lol! I recently went had to go in to the ER for horrible abdominal pain. My boyfriend just about had to drag my butt in there after about a week of excruciating pain... We originally thought maybe I had some kidney stones or something, but my syptoms didn't really line up with that unfortunately. So they did a CT scan and blood work and all that fun stuff, and found a rather large mass on my left kidney... Obviously the doctor at the ER couldn't tell me much about it, since more tests are needed to determine if the mass is benign or malignant. I talked to my primary doctor yesterday and set up an appointment for Monday to get an ultrasound. In the meantime I am in a lot of pain, still working since I can't afford not to, and trying my best not to think about the possibility that the mass is malignant... Also I refuse to say, and try not to think about the C word...

Anyway, with any luck it will be benign and maybe it's just pulling on my kidney causing the pain, or I keep hoping maybe the ER doctor was wrong and the mass is a big stone... I don't know... :-/ Anyway, a few prayers would be great.

I don't plan on selling any animals right now, and I am very thankful to those who have helped me with training over the past few weeks. I may try to down size next week depending on the results.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers!!

if you need help with anything please let me know!! I know what it's like to be MIA for medical reasons.

Prayers Flair

Im so sorry to hear this!

Hope the Dr visit today was in your favour ♥

So I guess they couldn't get a good enough look at it... So the next step is an MRI, and that will be done next Monday... I also start school again next Monday and am working on my masters in education... 7 classes, plus this... Not how I wanted to start out the new school year. However, the pain hasn't been as bad the past few days. So that makes me hopeful for a good outcome.

Thank you everyone for the well wishes! It is truely appericiated!

Praying for you! Things like this are so scary, but keep focusing on the positives as little as they are! Please keep us posted on how you're doing!
