Pinata of Pathology

Hello? Is this thing on?

Bullet point update and data dump...

1. Had a minor infection in on incision. Antibiotics fixed it. Surgeon did not care...which is what I expected.

2. Finally saw endo about adrenal adenoma. It's been there since 2013 and no one told me. Possibly it has grown a bit. It probably isn't doing anything but they ran blood work. Am Cortisol is 5,  so right there at the bottom of the normal barrel. Also I'm told I am likely deficient in DHEA, but I shouldn't do anything about it because of the hepatic adenomas.

3. Current plan is to push for MRI to see what the hepatic adenomas are doing because if they are shrinking, I'd prefer to skip the surgical menopause. I've learned quite a bit about menopause now and hooooooly shit...nope, don't want any part of that mess if I can help it. I'll try a uterine ablation first.

4. I tried to develop a coffee habit. It's supposed to be good for the liver, but my liver is not interested. For me, coffee triggers a lot of liver pain. So no more coffee.

5. Energy is low. I'm having a hard time waking up in the morning and I've had to take some 'bed rest' days which do actually help. I don't know what the problem is. Adrenal, liver...what? But it's atypical. I felt better in January. February has been a slog of wishing I was Rip Van Winkle. So. Tired.

6. Met a patient with around 30 tumors like me and they are doing embolization on all of them. Interesting.
