The ultrasound was… interesting… and painful. I know that sounds weird. But it was, of course, my right lobe. Guess where your right lobe is located…. Under your ribs. Yeah, that was fun. NOT. BUT it’s over and there was nothing of note to be said about it other than I have a fatty liver and it’s hard to see even with contrast if there are issues. So, until there is a HUGE issue that can be seen on a CT I’m good to go. That’s really comforting, eh? Sigh. I feel like I’m falling apart from the inside out.
Oh, and contrast for ultrasounds is bubbles… so I’m fluffy and bubbly now! Bwahahaha! Hey, if you can’t laugh at yourself who can, right?
What I did find out from the scans that I didn’t put two and two together on until just recently is that the raised cortisol in my blood may just have a reason. I know they mentioned this to me way back when I was in Vegas that there was this issue with cortisol levels being higher than normal… and then I put it together with the “Minor nodular hyperplasia of the left adrenal gland” this may explain a bit more in my life… but really not… I think it’s just that I love food – ha! Cushing’s Syndrome is something to look up and see if you think what I think… that this is a minor play in my life and my long term health – possibly. BUT this would take an endocrinologist to confirm and honestly it’s not worth looking that up and fighting the language barrier to figure out if this is the case because the best solution is to remove that nodular hyperplasia on the adrenal gland. Nope, not up for surgery/radiation/medications (or modified diet – hahaha!) any time soon, thanks. I will just take it as a “this is the reason you are fat and have a fat hump on your back 😄”
I don’t think it will kill me anytime soon if it hasn’t already.
And so, the bottom line my lovelies is I’m fine. Just fine.
