After Surgery Update

Hey everyone, This is the after surgery post. I went in there pretty nervous. Once they took my in the operating room waiting to take my turn to go in, I sat there and got scared. I nurse came and talked to me but didn't stay the whole time. During that time alone, God told me to breath through my nose and out through my mouth. I did and it calmed me. Wasn't long after that they took me in and I don't remember a thing until I woke up back in the spot they has me in before they took me in. The doctor came in to talk, but I was still out of it and got nothing he said. I do remember I told him thank you. Then they wheeled me off to the recovery room. I was in there for an hour and several people came in and talked to me. I was glad Jason and Mom was there cause I wanted to sleep and got very little of what was said. Then they let me go home. All day Jason waited on me hand and foot to make sure I was happy. I mostly sleet and he would give me pain pills every 6 hours. That was yesterday. Today wasn't so great. I got a call this morning from someone about some injection shots. Of course I knew nothing about it and got confused. I ended up calling the doctors office and they connected me with the doctor and he told me that I have Imetreosis. Thats what put my ovary in the shape that it was in. He told me that he was going to have to give me these injection shots in my hip twice, thats every three months to help clear it up. This is a gene from my mom. If I dont do it then theres a chance that could lose my other ovary. He also told me he was surprised that I didnt get really sick with it. I feel that God was with me.
Yes, they had to take my ovary, but I think God has plans for me. I plan to better take care of myself from now on.
The rest of the day I have been up and down out of bed. Mostly I was restless from laying around so long and I also spent some time throwing up. I did that about 6 times. I have to admit that I am starting to feel better getting all that crap out of my system.
Well, it is almost 2am. The pain pill is kicking in and I need to go get some sleep. Keep praying for me as I recover and I will try to post again as soon as I can.

Love you all!

  1. I know you meant Indometriosis. Both my sisters had it & had to have hystorectomies. No doubt God has something special for you. Hugs!
