just a quick note that i am going to hospital tomorrow, so all you lurkers, send me good vibes and karma etc

i'll post when i am home, which should be about a week

argy i'll try and remember to email you that pic tonight too

Shelley, I'll definitely be thinking of you, sending good vibes and prayers your way. I hope the surgery goes well!

Best o' luck, Ame! As for good vibes, should i sing ya a few verses of "Good Vibrations"?

uh best not, that only keep ya in the hospital longer!

Ah nuts, I've been away from my comp for a week.

Missed out on wishing you well.

Hope it went OK. I'll see you soon.

ok, i am home.

several complications, which i will explain, some bits are gross, so if you have a week stomach, don't read on..lol

well, my 3-4 day visit turned into a week.

my 2.5 hour surgery turned into 6 hours.

from the 5.4 (or so) litres of blood you have in your body, i lost 3.8.

because my uterus was the size of a women 20 weeks pregnant, cause it was full of cysts and fibroids and stuff, it had squishied up all my other bits, and alot of it had fused together. and they spent ages making sure i could keep important things, like my bowels :P

my endometriotis was x 4 wrse than they expected, so i loset everything but my right ovary..

why keep that you ask?, if you keep at least one ovary if not both, you don't have to take hormones, until mother nature expects you to.

i spent 3 days in ICU, and then the rest in a normal surgical ward.

ICU was good, i had this button i could press that would self administer morphine . but you couldn't press it anymore than once every 5 mins..lol so you couldn't OD. and they took it away afterthey told me i wasn't using it as much as they expected, so threfore mustn't have needed it

but i'm home now, sitting on my ass doing nothing for several weeks

wonder how long it will take to get bored out of my brain..

I'm happy to hear you're home, and that you're recovering well. Morphine addiction is highly over rated, so I'm glad you took it easy with that stuff.

Battle On. Courage can change the world.

Imagine my mouth hanging open through a bit of the more graphic parts of the story and you've got a pretty accurate idea of my reaction.

Really though, I'm glad that you are safe and home...especially the loss of blood and the intertwined body parts sound particularly scary. So I'm glad you made it out okay. Not being doped up is a plus too, of course.

as shawn said.... grossing me out btw

no more riding the cotton horse

LMAO

You want me to come and visit you one day for a bit of company?

I hope you're doing ok! If you get bored, just imagine yourself on a sunny beach with a nice shiny cabana boy. That always makes my day more interesting ;-)
