All's Well!

But 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.

Grk. Mom callling.

Heeeey, glad to hear you're doing alright. You've been in my thoughts. I wish you a swift recovery. :)

I googled endometriosis. I did not expect to immediately get photographs of the condition, but it was educational!

I'm glad you are all right.

I wanted to call you but could not -- my phone died and took your cell phone number with it. All I have is your home phone number, alas.

take care of yourself.

Glad to know that you're doing better and I sure hope this helps some of the problems you've been having. I had one the size of a cantelope removed a few years ago...was a huge help to my symptoms. *hugs* Hope you're home and well soon!

Eggh. Let's hope that does the trick!
