All's Well!
Sep. 23rd, 2007 07:46 pmBut no internet connection in the hotel save through my mom's computer, which I'm hijacking for a moment.
The operation went well, and I'm not even going to have much of a scar when this is over. Final tally: two lacrosse-ball sized fibroids removed plus a slightly smaller one -- this AFTER 3 months of lupron to shrink them -- plus, while she was at it the doctor toasted all my endometriosis which has driven me nuts since I was a kid. She was able to leave enough of the uterus intact that I probably wouldn't even have to have a caesarian if I gave birth. Which is good, 'cause this hurts!
The first few nights in the hospital were pretty painful, but I'm back in a hotel room now and should be going home in another day or so. I can get up and down out of bed now without help and I'm walking pretty well today.
