Please cheer me up - rubbish day

[Toothlessismyspiritanimal]

I'm currently sat in Urgent Care waiting to see a doctor about a gigantic bartholins cyst in my groin (it's bigger than a golf ball) and I'm feeling very sorry for myself.

Had a crap day at work, felt generally unwell with this cyst and had a horrendously frustrating but very important meeting that made me want to scream. Then got home and passed out, called 111 who told me to come here for antibiotics and potential drainage of aforementioned cyst. Whoop!

Please mumsnetters - cheer me up and stop me feeling sorry for myself

Sorry you feel down OP. Hopefully they will ace your cyst . I've just poked myself really hard in the eye trying out my new elemis cleanser balm so am squinting as I type and my eyeball is killing me tearing pissing down my cheek atm. Stingly!

That's a bugger. Hope it's sorted quickly and well.

I moved house, which was chaos, and then cracked a rib being6d lazy and leaning over something instead of going the proper way round. It's proving testing.

I bought a new shower curtain today only to find out it's a tablecloth! Thanks ikea for hanging it up with hooks! Hope your feeling better soon!

Ouch, OP. I had a golf ball-sized bartholin cyst years ago, so I definitely feel your pain. Hope they get it sorted at the hospital .

I’ve had a shocking day, too. Had to cancel a meeting I really didn’t want to cancel and leave work early as I unexpectedly got my period BIG style (as in, gushing down my legs and on to my shoes-style ). It was mortifying.

Oh no! Sounds like I'm not the only one having a bad day. Also been told not to eat or drink anything so I'm a little worried as to why.....

Imagine The Titanic with a lisp.
It's unthinkable.

I bought the world's worst thesaurus yesterday.
Not only is it terrible, it's terrible.

Jokes about sugar are rare.

Grow - that is hilarious! Will it fit your table?

Dan - oh wow, those jokes are shocking. Still giggled though

@Grow - so funny!

DanFmDorking Made me gigglesnort, ta

Grow Oops... Just hang it up, no one will notice

It will fit but it's not very practical as it's white with patterns on and not wipe clean! No good for the kids 😂 I would return but I also forgot my purse and phone so my friend paid and has the receipt!I actually had to look on the website to see what I had actually bought! It's just been one of those days

Just so no one else gets fooled 😂

Aw, bless you. I once had to get a catheter on my period. Oh the shame. I apologised to the nurse. She said, bah who cares?

Just been seen. I now need to be seen by the gynaecologist, and it will more than likely need to be drained. I am shitting myself.

Sending or if you prefer OP. Get the bastard thing drained. Good luck!

Still waiting. Tired, hungry and fed up.

You will feel much better when it is drained 💐

Half tempted to go home and try again tomorrow. I can see me still being here at next shift change. Even offered to go home and come back when it's more convenient

And now they've decided not to drain as they don't have the staff. So I've been here 7 hours and I am going home with antibiotics.

Go home and sit in a warm, salty bath to ease discomfort and see if it will discharge itself

Weenurse - if I somehow managed to fall on a pin, do you think that would help....?

Not recommended, but a hot bath or compress to the area. You don’t want to squeeze and spread the bacteria under the skin and get a cellulitis, that would be agony.

And please update if it pops.... Please?

Ahh thanks weenurse - I'm a sporner at heart so this is a double edged sword for me . I shall not squeeze

Captainpantbeard - absolutely. Apparently it's not a bartholins cyst but an abscess. Not entirely sure of the difference, but it bloody hurts!
