I bent over and it gave.  A situation so painful that trying to get to my room I puked.  I couldn&#8217;t get in and out of my shower or up and down off the toilet.  I required a walker for the better part of a week.   I couldn&#8217;t roll myself over or get in and out of bed with anything other than extreme pain.  I couldn&#8217;t cook, I couldn&#8217;t get to the kitchen, and I couldn&#8217;t pull on my pants.  It really really sucked.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"606\" height=\"636\" src=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-from-2023-12-29-10-10-06.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-998\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-from-2023-12-29-10-10-06.png 606w, https:\/\/www.merwanjeeframjee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Screenshot-from-2023-12-29-10-10-06-286x300.png 286w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 606px) 100vw, 606px\" \/><figcaption>PINKY!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But before my back went out&#8230;.I had a uterine cyst swell up to incredible proportions (I guess, my abdomen was a chunky monkey and utterly gross)  &#8212; well it burst.  It burst and at first I&#8217;m like&#8230;god damn, what is with this abdominal pain?   Then it began to bleed.  And fucking hell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I had put away some overnight pads that I almost never use, they&#8217;re like big diapers, so I had to wear those around the clock: FOR DAYS.  I bled so much I was dreaming about it.  Dreaming I was in the hospital because of blood loss, woke up and thinking&#8230;.yeah, I can see that.  It literally was pouring out of me at times like water.  God only knows how much blood I lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was so bad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So from wearing thick pads full of blood I developed pressure sores, which are a bitch.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"anyway-i-m-alive\">Anyway, I&#8217;m alive.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I finally mostly stopped bleeding.  I still have some and a secondary infection with fever because of course I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The storm came in and I was looking outside when it flashed brilliantly and I hurt my eyes and they feel full of sand and grit and hurt.  I keep putting in drops.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can walk better now but still sometimes need a cane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GOOD FUCKING GOD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well goodbye 2023, you ended on a high note.   The southern girl in me says, &#8220;yeah but it could have been worse.  Husband could have given you a black eye!&#8221;  *sigh*  Here is to a good 2024, fucking hell.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So to recap:  Cyst burst and I started bleeding like mad \/ developed infection and pressure sores \/\/ had my back go out and was confined to bed for the better part of a week and had to use a walker to get to the toilet \/\/ ended up looking out the window at the wrong time during a FREAK electrical storm and burned my eyes.
