I am home...
Posted in Prayer Requests
Ladies, everything went VERY smoothly. The following update may be TMI but I am amazed at how God has gotten me through this so well.
* Surgery is suppose to be about a two hour procedure. I was out in 1.5 hours.
* My ovaries were much too "beautiful" (to quote the doctor) to even consider removing them.
* Voiding came very quickly and everything adjusted back to normal quickly
* No blood clots
* No fever
* No upset tummy
* lots of sleep
* pain pills are good
* eating normally within 36 hours after surgery
* came home yesterday late afternoon and ate and went to bed.
* I was originally scheduled to go home today but did very well and got the early go-ahead
Dan got a new battery for my cell-phone so it is good to go now. Thanks for all of your prayers through this time. I still have much recovery ahead but I feel it will go quickly and I will be obedient in all the instructions the doctor gave to insure it.
PS. Dan is not a techie so he was not able to update here. He is SO afraid of the blog screen! LOL

What a relief. *hugs* I am so glad you get to keep your ovaries. I understand that is sooo connected to mothering feelings. I know you will continue to have discomfort as you heal, but I hope it is mild and the recovery short. I am thankful it went well. God bless you.
Love, Carol
