I had my surgery on Tuesday. I am so glad and grateful to be on the other side of all of that now...it seems so crazy that it's done. I am recovering at home and just reflecting on everything and I'm just really relieved, thankful and happy that my husband and I can finally move forward and that this weight has been lifted and we finally have some answers :)
It's nice to not be in the dark anymore, it feels good.
It turns out I have endometriosis (which he was able to go in and remove during my laproscopy), my tubes are perfectly clear and my uterus is slightly heart shaped but not bicornuate. Such good news!!!!! :)
When I came to after the surgery, the nurse gave me a note that my surgeon had written and it seemed like the news was bad because all he wrote was that I have endometriosis and made a drawing of a heart shaped uterus...I was out of it and had no idea what that meant...as soon as I was wheeled in to the recovery area and saw Jay's worried face waiting for me I broke into tears. I told him I didn't think it was good news. He read the note and then we decided to ask the nurses if we could speak to my Doctor to get clarification. He came to see us, and he said the actual diagnosis and then said, "so, get to it! Have a baby or two!" I was in shock...and on morphine...haha...but I was just SO relieved and SO happy.
My mom & Jay made the time spent in the hospital that morning waiting to go in for surgery bearable and even enjoyable and I am so thankful they were with me. THANK YOU <3
I didn't even get sick after the surgery :) It all went so smoothly and we got the best news imaginable for the situation we thought we were in.
It's been a long time since I had that first Doctor's appointment in September 2010 to go over my results...and I've learned many lessons and learned many things about myself since then. I am stronger than I have ever been now and I can truly say I am so thankful to have gone through this experience - all of it. AND I am so thankful for the people that have supported me through this. I am so ready for what lies ahead, and I am so excited and so hopeful about the future.
<3 I made it past May 24, 2011 and I'm a better person for all I went through in between.
So...I guess we better "get to it!" as my Doctor said ;) haha

This blog started out taking about fashion and my sewing pursuits...since my last post in Feb 2011, many things have happened, many things have changed - including (most importantly) ME. I have lost 20.2 lbs and gone on an incredible journey which I want to share with you :) ...but I still love a good shoe ;)
