• Post-Surgery Update

  
  

  I went in for my follow-up visit yesterday for my abdominal surgery.  The surgeon got the test results back from the lab on the mass that he’d removed.  Now if you remember, I stated after my surgery that he told me that I did NOT have endometriosis…well, he fibbed.  The results showed that I most certainly did have it!  He said that he didn’t tell me because he wanted to make sure that the test results showed what he suspected and didn’t want to get ahead of himself…which is fine.  I’d stated many times that I thought that endometriosis was what it was…but I’d hoped I was wrong. 

  
  

  Now I’m just glad that he has removed it and has sealed what needed to be sealed so that I can live a normal life again.  He told me that I’m doing wonderfully and should be totally recuperated within a month…that is incredible news!

  
  

  I’m feeling better as each day passes…less swelling…less discomfort…and more energy.  I can’t wait until I’m healthy enough to go run and play with the kids again!!

  
  

  This is like receiving a whole new lease on life for me…now I will be able to excercise again…and lose the weight that I’d put on while not being able to do so for so long!  I’m excited…can you tell?

  
  

  Jason, of course, said, “I told you so”…nice eh? LOL…he did though and without him I would have never had made it through all of this…nor would I have even considered going to another doctor.  Yeah…he’s a keeper…good thing I married him huh?

  
  

  I am also SO grateful to our friend Evelyn who held my hand (and Jason’s) through all of this.  She is a wonderful woman and I will never forget her kindness and love.  It’s a great feeling to have a friend like that.

  
  

  Well…I need to get back to work, but I wanted to give you all a little update on my health situation. 

  
  

  Have a great day!!
