I had my surgery yesterday afternoon and everything went well from what I've been told. It's official, I have endometriosis. They removed 4 legions and left one that was on one of my ovaries and not worth the risk to remove. I have a blockage in one of my fallopian tubes and my uterus is inflamed. There is no other bad news though. My insides are gorgeous or incredibly photogenic as my surgeon explained. Karen, Jess, and Vicki all saw numerous pictures that provoked deserved oohs and ahhs. Bright pinks and blues and very healthy organs. There is no reason I shouldnt be able to have 100 babies. I cant wait to see them myself. I am the only one who hasnt spoken to my surgeon and I was patiently awaiting her call today. I was asleep before the anasthesia, or so it seems according to my memory which could also be slight amnesia from the happy drugs they gave me beforehand. I was in recovery for about two hours not knowing anything and not being allowed to see anyone. That time was spent very confused and thirsty for answers. Since arriving at home, I have been surrounded by around the clock loving and caring people. I'm not sleeping well. Maybe five hours of interrupted sleep last night. I think the oxycontin is causing me to be ever so alert...strange response. My incisions are sore and I need help sitting up and leaning back. I wont be leaving the house until next monday. Surprisingly, this whole is experience is much more relaxing than I had anticipated. I was terribly scared I would go stir crazy but things are looking good. Things could have been so different and I have never been so grateful.
