Tuesday open thread
Just realized I hadn’t started one of these since last Thursday. Have at it, ya’ll 
I’ll be back in a few hours. My ultrasound is later this afternoon, and I’m currently parched because I can’t drink (nor eat, for that matter) anything until after the appt. Grrr!
Update – 8:35 PM: Re: the ultrasound, I didn’t have a great visit today. The radiologist who took did ultrasound said she things that the cyst is on the inside of the organ, not the outside as I had hoped it was, and it looks about the size of a Cadbury egg. This may make surgery go from simply removing the cyst to removing the organ itself 
. I have a follow up visit next Friday to talk to my dr., where she will give me the official low down on the ultrasound (I’m especially anxious to know if the radiologist was right in where the cyst is located) and what my options are.

Here’s hoping things go well.
In political plane news, Zip discovered the American flag that used to be on the Obama campaign plane has been replaced by the Obama symbol. Fitting that the re-launch of the plane was overseas.
I do hope all goes well Dear. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers….. as always.

Do we need any more evidence that BO is the son of a god??? This visit more than proves it. – Lorica /sarcasm off
Interesting story from a paper that endorsed the Obamessiah:
Illegal RX, Barack Objects
Oh, but he can have it both ways. When his supporters don’t care that he lies and the media is too star struck to actually ask the man a question about his policies, he can have it both ways. This is just the latest topic to be “Obamasized” with many different points of view about an issue.
About three weeks ago a friend’s wife was very ill and took a week off work. Turned out she had… an internal cyst. I had never heard of such a thing, and it creeped me the hell out.
And now you come along with the same damn thing. Not funny at all.
Get better ASAP. I have a hard enough time maintaining my carefree, happy go lucky attitude without having to worry about you.
How about putting up a tip jar? It’d make me feel as if I were helping out if I could shoot a couple bucks at you.
Steve, comments like that do more for me than any tip jar would. Thank you – sincerely.
I’ve gone through my share of health issues here and there like most people, but they were “fixable” with meds and/or a change in the types of foods I ate. It’s scary to think about the possibility of having an organ removed, even if it is one I hear the body can do without.
I should be thankful, as I (from what I’ve read) have viable options that others may not have had with their health issues.
OMG….ST, our prayers are that your doctors are wise, that you get the best of care, and that you recover completely and quickly. And for what it’s worth, I’m with Steve on the tip jar idea.
ST, I have you in my prayers. During my tough times with lots on my plate, I’m still here almost every day reading whether commenting or not.
You have a beautiful mind and a great heart. Keep up your spirits!

GWR beat me to the words.
Now, where’s the hugs emoticon?
As we say on this side of the Pond: the best of British luck. You don’t have to be British to have it.
Thank you for the well wishes, all.
Keep in mind that, the worrywart that I am, I am envisioning worst-case scenario, but hopefully my dr. will be able to calm my fears next week.
GWR, re: the tip jar: Thank you for the offer, but I will only put the tip jar up again if I need the $$. I’m doing ok right now.
S.T., you know that I know all about scary hospital places! Trust in God, and your doctors, and I know you will be fine. I’m praying for you.
Remember what got me through:
“Never, Never, Never Give Up!!”
NC, you are one of the strongest people I know … I wish I had even a quarter of your strength, stamina, and upbeat attitude! I’m trying to learn, tho
Sorry to hear about the medical issue Sis, no matter how easy or complex the problem is, you always assume the worst and fret and worry. I’m sure your doctors are on top of things though, and you’ll be given answers soon.
Hogs and quiches as usual though! Your peanut gallery here is rooting for you.
