The surgery
I finally went through my surgery last Thursday. Almost 2 years of waiting. It went longer than they anticipated as my uterus was larger than they thought. I had many smaller fibroids that had calcified which complicated the removal and I lost 1.5L of blood. I am a bit pale and I tire easily. I got to go home on Friday around dinner time.
In a way I am really glad to have this over with. I will be able to start planning things and doing things and actively trying to get my health back again. No dancing, biking, running or exerting for a few months. But come the new year I will be busting loose! lol Right now though I must remember to treat myself gently and heal. I need to have patience and remember that being bored by sitting on the couch is a luxury rather than a punishment.
