Praying for complete healing of your hoo-hah. It’s unconscionable that the medical receptionist diagnosed your problem over the phone and then hung up on you! While I’m at it, I’ll pray for healing of our “healers,” who need a whopping dose of compassion. As always, your Jesus Loves You video gave me a chuckle. Thank you!

They say patience is a virtue. That is certainly what we don't have in this world anymore, especially in regards to anything medical. Maybe God gives thorns to people to increase their patience.

Oh goodness, Pug! What a painful experience!

Thanks be to God that He has relieved you somewhat, praying he will continue this healing!

I've never heard of this sort of cyst, but I wonder what would happen if you sopped a bunch of hydrogen peroxide on it a few times a day? Now that it's opened up a bit. Just a thought, I'm just guessing here, and it's the kind of goofy thing I would do, but I have no idea why!

Thank you for sharing your thorn in the flesh experience that lasted decades for you. You are truly a woman of faith and you did indeed touch the hem of Jesus's garments.

That passage in 2 Cor. 12 is one of my favorites. It might seem like a strange one for a favorite, but for those born with birth defects that interfere with living a "normal" life, it is great encouragement.

I tend to focus upon "...for my strength is made perfect in weakness", because I have been physically weak from birth (endocrine disorder). Paul also writes about weakness and more in 1 Cor. 1, and the purpose for it all.

BOASTING ONLY IN THE LORD

1Cor. 1:26-29 - Brothers and sisters, consider your calling: Not many were wise from a human perspective, not many powerful, not many of noble birth. Instead, God has chosen what is foolish in the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen what is weak in the world to shame the strong. God has chosen what is insignificant and despised in the world—what is viewed as nothing—to bring to nothing what is viewed as something, so that no one may boast in his presence.

I'm not Paul either, but I answer to foolish, weak, insignificant, and despised. And this passage too is encouraging.

Oh gosh, what a terribly annoying development that became. Still, if you had gone to a gyn they probably would have had a magic cure. Yes, being post menopausal is reallllllllllly enjoyable.

Okay I do not miss the periods but mostly the monsterous moods. I used to get really pissed off about little stuff, it was nuts. Every night asking forgiveness and every morning forgiving others for my horribleness.

I have never heard of a bartholins cyst but it sounds annoying. I am grateful that it did not cause you pain. Now you have leaking. I hope it does not get infected.

I just had my flat balloons microwaved- ugh no I mean mammogrammed. then I got a letter yesterday that they stated my flat balloons are "asymetrical" and they want to do some sonogramming of my right balloon. I have not made the appointment. I am sure my insurance will cover it bc in the letter it said some insurance might not cover it, I am pretty sure they are gonna pay for this, trust me. Otherwise, I just will not go and everyone can panic.

Other than that, Yes, I am enjoying the happy days every day being abused and ghosted by my youngest daughter and her stupid shitty husband that has family history of this kind of abuse.

For two years now I have not seen my grand kids. I sent them an email about thinking about vaccines and getting one at a time when at the peds. Welp. I am poison.. I did blow up after my son in law sent us a reply email with a long detailed laundry list of all of the bad things I have done.

So I am in one big fat thorn.
