Thanks Everybody!

Just a quick update to thank you all for the thoughts - everything went well considering...

Went in Thursday morning, was operated by 11am. The catheter was removed Friday morning and within 30 minutes I was walking to the bathroom.

My uterus and two ovaries were removed because they realised, once opened up, that it was endometriosis and not just simple cysts.

I'm doing well overall; it's a slow process… I’ve been off medication since Friday and only take Tylenol. The pain is tolerable. I'll have to be patient, and that is NOT my strong suit! I'm lucky to have a GREAT nurse in Hubby – I’m thankful for that!

My 21 staples were removed on Tuesday and the incision is looking pretty good.

I want to thank you again for all the positive thoughts and prayers!

It’s appreciated!

So glad you are back and doing well. I've checked over here every day (or almost) since the surgery hoping to see some update.

Give yourself plenty of time to recuperate and don't try to do too much too fast.
