Ok I have always been an open, honest person. I can only be me so that is what you are going to get with this update.
July 31- I arrived at the hospital accompanied by my dearest friend in the world at 6 am. Signed in and was called back rather quickly. Finished the remaining prep and paperwork. My fiancee arrived just moments before they whisked me back to surgery..(he had a bit of trouble because of the downpour of rain and thankfully was not hurt).
I only remember going down the hall and entering room where the surgery was to be done. They moved me from the gurney to the operating table and I was asleep soon after.
I woke up in the recovery room, asked for pain medication and went right back to sleep.
I arrived in my room. My fiancee, best friend, mom and my best friend's husband were there as well as nurses getting me settled. I honestly felt surrounded by love. Found out that they were able to do the hysterectomy as planned. It was only a partial, so no lifelong meds :)
I woke up off and on experiencing some pain and they quickly administered the medication to keep me comfortable. My fiancee stayed with me throughout the night and was concerned that I wanted so little to drink.
Aug 1- I ended up sleeping just under 24 hours straight. Granted it was medicine induced. The pain was surprisingly minor and even though I was aware that I had just had surgery I felt better than I had felt in years. I could feel a difference and that made me so very thankful.
The doctor released me to come home and I arrived home a little after 11 am. By the time I arrived home I was PAINFULLY aware that things would not return to normal anytime soon. Princess time and my guys have enforced that!
My fiancee and son moved the TV from the living room into the bedroom and my son crawled under our home to re-route the cable since I did not have it in there previously.
Aug 2- I had the first chance to look at my post-op body. Oh how cruel. I am now missing my babybox however my body LOOKS like I am about 4 months along carrying a baby. NOT happy!
Aug 3- Ok so now we are at day 3. I am still feeling some pain but it is decreasing with each passing day. I feel better today by a lot! Oh and I forgot to mention NO CANCER!!! I am very thankful for that.
There you go. That is the story of my journey thus far and gives you a complete picture. Thanks to all who care enough to read this.
