Lucky in Lumps
Okay everyone, here we are again. Anyone who has listened to girls night in, or who has checked out the blogs over there, knows that I had surgery a few weeks ago to remove a lump in my neck. According to my doctor it was a benign tumor. I know now, however, that he was wrong. The pathology was wrong. He removed my lump of luck. Oh yes, he removed all of my luck.
Let’s review. The surgery was supposed to take an hour and I would have an incision about an inch long. Fast forward, the surgery took three hours and I have an incision about two inches long. My sister’s boyfriend’s car has broken down so I am alone with a toddler trying to make it until her bedtime so I can have pain meds. I have a runny nose.
A few days go by and I have a full blown sinus infection. The doctor sticks a telescope UP MY NOSE. Not just up my nose, but I can feel it go into my nasal cavity and molest my brain. It is not pleasant. Infection gets worse despite the 2000 milligrams of antibiotics I am taking.
Then I get rear ended. I am pulling off the freeway and stop at the stop sign (go figure) and the person behind me decides that stopping is so last season and instead hits me. I pull over and bend down to look at the damage and apparently stopping is still last season. The person just drives away and leaves me kneeling there. Sigh.
Then my boss decided that I need to create a work at home assignment for a co-worker who is terminally ill. I get 15 minutes notice and then get harassed all day because I did not give her enough to do. I am uncomfortable around this woman anyway because I feel as though she dislikes me, my mom died of cancer as well and it just makes it hard for me to see someone else dying.
Then the birthday party debacle begins. I figure that out and then my sweet daughter who is usually quite nice turns into a candy fiend on easter and then a raving lunatic.
Yesterday, I got the first black eye I have ever had. Said sweet girl was swinging a computer cable around and when I went to grab it, one end smacked me right in the cheekbone. Now I am sporting a shiner, a mouse, a smudge, a black eye.
Could I have my lucky lump back now?
You poor thing! I knew something was up catching a few tweets here and there…but never did I realize the extent of your troubles lately!! However, I think it must be pointed out that you’ve had more than your share of good luck….and possibly the universe is just trying to even things out a bit!

Sorry to hear things haven’t been going so well, except of course for that lump being removed AND benign. Let’s not lose sight of that. As for your co-worker troubles, you know I’ve been there too, except the guy was my friend, so I didn’t have that aspect to deal with.
I’m counting down to your birthday. Here’s hoping things start improving!
