Yay! Surgery is Over!

Hello! Yes, I had surgery. Monday I went in to see the specialist who prodded my belly and said it was probably just a ruptured cyst (hence, the pain) and said I could spend the week on pain medications then come back to check in unless the pain got worse, in which case they would do surgery. I opted for the week on pain med's to get through it. 45 minutes later, I went back in such severe pain they sent me straight to the same-day surgery unit at the hospital where the nurses loaded me with pain medication. :) Yeah, it felt pretty good. That was at about 4 o'clock. At 8 o'clock, I was put under general anesthesia and taken into surgery finally. Oh yeah, Mark came to the hospital just before I went into surgery! Isn't that so sweet?! I have wonderful family. And a special thanks to my sister and my mom for helping me sooooo much on moday. I know I was a handful! haha they are both so good to me.

As it turns out, it was a very large cyst (NOT A TUMOR! YAY!) but it had wrapped around my ovary twice!!! Thus cutting off my blood supply to that ovary and causing me all that pain. The reason it looked like a tumor was because the cyst was actually full of blood clots. So the docs slit it open, suctioned everything out and irrigated it, then sewed me up and sent me away. Overall, it took about an hour. I have 3 tiny incisions on my stomach that they actually put one stitch in each and then superglued together! Cool, eh?! 

So today I've been home recovering. I watched the new episode of "House" and House finally kissed Cuddy! Hooray! (We all knew it was coming, I didn't spoil anything) I'm gonna laugh to see what happens next... And... Jeffrey came by tonight after all my other wonderful visitors had left, that made me quite happy :) haha so thats all for now. All my love!
