Return of the Fibroids

Remember when my uterus was so tough and full of muscles that I had to have it ripped out? Turns out, even that was not enough. Some of the fibroids clung on, and have developed into a new muscle baby. This muscle baby seems to be holding on to an ovary, and sometimes makes the ovary do back flips. Let me tell you, that is painful!
The pain started a few months ago, but I thought that I had gas and was a wimp.
The next time it hurt, I went to urgent care. They said that I had a UTI, and gave me antibiotics. 

A few days later, I went to my beloved gyno, and she said that I had an infection from my surgery 9 months ago, and gave me different drugs. Her ultrasound saw something, though, so I got a CT scan. The CT scan also saw something. I had blood tests, and everything points to "probably not cancer."
This past week,  the pain got bad enough that I went to the emergency room.  They gave me drugs and sent me away, saying that a real doctor had to deal with my muscle baby.
Yesterday, I met with this real doctor, and he will take out the muscle baby on May 21st. Unless the pain gets bad enough and I have to go to the ER again. In that case, the ER will call the real doctor and he'll take it out.
I'm in minor pain now, and wondering how I can finish the semester either in pain or on vicoden. Neither options sound good, so hopefully the pain will decrease this week.  I had planned to go to a conference, so most of my classes were already covered; I can stay home and rest this week.
