Hello dear friend!

My week was already full and then I got notice yesterday about surgery next week so it went from planning to be insane to uber insane! I feel like I need to do everything in the next few days, and I still have a full plate. Plus I feel yucky so that doesn't help. (sigh)

Glad you are home safely from the storm. No snow here but more next week? I love snow and the winter time but this is nuts and I am very ready for warm days and some flowers/tress blooming and offering some calm weather days! Of course I will be inside for a while so maybe it can wait a few weeks... =)

I am having a "full" surgery, uterus, cervix, left ovary (maybe right one too, they will decide when they get in there BUT I am going to tell them to take it if they can, it's the more cystic one but I have left side pain so they are removing the L one for sure) and all the scar tissue that has built up from my C-Section 16.5 years ago! I also am having robotic surgery so just one incision in my navel and little scarring from what they tell me. They did say no driving for 2-3 weeks which will be the toughest part since I am a single mom and my son is not driving yet (week 4 of drivers ed this week!) so it's a little tricky there. I wish I coukd be up and around as fast as you were... can I borrow your husband?? =)

I am not worried about small stuff, I have my to-do list to accomplish before hand but I am not one to make house work a priority (ahem). Relying on others is not something I do well or have much access too, so that may be interesting for a while. I have great health insurance here and my dr's and the hospital are close by so I am in good hands. I had 2 choices of dr's and hospitals, I chose the one closer (for a host of reasons) but mostly because they have a women's center/floor and I have a private room and a private nurse and 24/7 visiting hours (assuming anyone wants to see me post op, haha) -- I will be overnight and possible admitted for pain management, so it was better than being 30 minutes away at the other location. My physician does most of his surgeries robotically so I feel I have good care and access to what I need after the fact.

Thank you for sharing you had this procedure, I feel better talking to women who have had this done. Seems like everyone feels better so I hope that is my case as well. =)

Stay warm and dry, and I'll try and be on here as much as I can once I have surgery... at least to check in of nothing else. =)
