My neighbors surprised me today with a bouquet of flowers! They're absolutely the best, and I'm always happy to see them. So this was just a bright point in my day! I was working with a friend of the family and helping her set up her new Kindle, and I heard the softest little raps … Continue reading My Neighbors Brought Me Flowers!
Well, I had my tubes tied. Actually, the entire fallopian tubes were removed, which turned out to be a good thing because one had a cyst in it blocking the tube. The first week or so I felt like a truck hit me, and I was struggling, not going to lie, but a full week … Continue reading In Which I Was Assaulted By a Toilet
I'll be down and out for a bit. I had my tubal ligation this week, and I wrote posts in advance, but I can't promise you posts for next week just yet. Here's to hoping it went well!
Since I'm having surgery soon, when my doctor offered a chance to have help filling out a medical power of attorney, I jumped on it. It sounds really intimidating, but it wasn't bad at all. I think the entire appointment took half an hour, and a lot of that is because I already knew what … Continue reading Medical Power of Attorney
Tomorrow I have a consult for getting my tubes tied. With EDS, any surgery can be a huge risk, and while we've known for years, my husband and I, that we don't want kids, we had avoided doing the surgery because of the risk. I have an IUD, it works well, and for years abortion … Continue reading Consult for Surgery
It's NOT cancer. *confetti* The first biopsy didn't have enough 'good' tissue for a clear biopsy and came out inconclusive. This one is perfectly clear. NOT cancer. So not only is the surgery done, and I'm recovering well, but I know that it wasn't even cancer so I don't have to stress about anything they … Continue reading Biopsy Returned!
This last week has been nothing but surgery recovery. I basically slept continuously Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, just waking up for medications and to drink or eat something. Those days are kind of a fog. I lost part of my stitches on Tuesday, which is not a surprise, and it's something I warned the surgeon … Continue reading Recovering Well!
Today is the day I go and have the probably-not-cancer tumor removed, so there's no post. Wish me luck!
Had my surgery consult on Friday, along with a CT scan. Turns out the hospital that did the MRI didn't send them the actual MRI, just the reading. So I have to call and ask them to mail that as a disc or something to me. But it looks like loss of sensation, no loss … Continue reading Surgery Consult
My mom made it through her surgery and is home! She has a foot long incision down her hip that's glued shut with tape over it, but she said her pain went from an 8 to a 2 just from the relief of having the new joint. Huzzah! I was ridiculously worried about her to … Continue reading Home Safe!
