Laparoscopy

I had laparoscopy yesterday. Everything went really well. They only had to make two little incisions. The lower one is right near my c-section scar, so I can't even feel it. I think it's because they went through all old scar tissue, so there is no feeling. The other one is through my belly button. I'm pretty tender and there is a dark bruise the size of a silver dollar.

They removed about 20 cysts off each ovary and a large growth in my uterus. I'll know more when they are biopsied. Also, my uterus was flattened, whatever that means. I was a bit drugged up when the doctor came in to talk to my mom. :) I'll ask more when I go to my follow up next Wednesday. My mom did say the doctor was very happy with the whole thing.

Feeling pretty good today. I slept the last 24 hours with help of the pain meds. I think I'm ready to join the land of the living again.

That doesn't sound like fun to have to go through but I am glad the end result is good. Keep us posted when you find out the results of the biopsy. We'll be praying for a speedy recovery and more good news from the doctor. Love ya!
