I am recovering well from taring my iliotibial band in my left leg. I can limp around again and am off the narcotics now. (Morgan....you're amazing.) They found a mass in my uterus that is most likely responsible for my abdominal pain, back pain and hemorrhaging. It is not a cancerous mass, so I opted to wait to have surgery until Aug. 26th after school starts. They will be removing my uterus and cervix but leaving my ovaries. They will laser off any endometriosis that they find and repair my bladder. They may possibly remove my appendix as well since they are going through my abdomen.....might as well. (Don't want to pull a Lee or a Melinda later in life!)
I'm exited for less pain and no more embarrassing bleeding moments! Although this surgery will do nothing for my breast and neck swelling and pain, that's okay. They have ruled out all cancers and it will just be something that I have to deal with three weeks out of every month until I go through metapause. Not too fun, but I will have tons of empathy for all the new moms in our family when they get mastitis.
So, after eleven pregnancies and years of crazy times.......we are taking out the internal nursury! Thanks for all your love and prayers. We are exited to see all of you at the reunion.
