she sighed and sat down at the counter
marta: whatever that idiot said does not matter what matters is whats going on? it wasn't a miscarriage? then what is causing this pain?
maya: you said it felt like live labor?
maricela: masses on my ovaries are causing the extreme sharp cramps i been having them for a while but they just got worse and go away i thought it was i dont know they weren't there when i first got checked out after i gave birth to javi but i got meds that are suppose to shrink them if they dont then they'll check if its cancerous i can have them removed to
giovani: money ain't a problem why not have them checked already why wait to see if they shrink or something? and you been going to the doctor? like?
maricela: money can buy a lot but i still got a shitty doctor i got a referral to another already im waiting to be set up
marta: did you ask what could cause this? or like?
maricela; no but i used to get punched a lot in the stomach as a kid when i wouldn't eat my dinner also cancer ran in the family
maya: what do you mean by ran in the family you mean runs in the family you have a family?
maricela; i have my own but i killed the blood line that lead up to me but i dont know honestly i asked the doctor if i could just have it removed fuck it and he made me feel guilty
