I'm Here...

Sorry for my absence. Haven't been on the computer too much. I am doing pretty good since my ablation procedure on Friday. My sweet and loving husband greeted me as I was wheeled up from recovery and relayed from Dr. Schwartz that "Everything went fine. He said you have a really big uterus honey." Aw shucks! How can a woman not appreciate men noticing her large uterus. (Insert image of me rolling my eyes please). What was I supposed to say "Thank you?" I told my husband that no matter how much drying you do to your favorite sweater once it's stretched out, you just can't shrink it up to it's original size no matter how hard you try.

I went for my post-op appointment today. Dr. Schwartz is pretty confident the ablation either won't work at all or will only work for a very short time. I have horrible andimyosis (not sure if I spelled that correctly) and that is what is causing my problems. It's the internal version of endometriosis. He did the hysteroscopy and "checked things out before hand". Then lasered everything away and then "looked at is all again". So we'll see. He did say that he would do it again if necessary since "I have such a big uterus". He said that it is the size of someone who is 8-12 weeks pregnant. No wonder my abs aren't so flat. A hysterectomy is in my future. I'm just trying to put it off until the girls are a bit older. It's quite a recovery and such, so it would be better if they are a little older. We'll see how things go on that end...ha ha ha, no pun intended.

I did have the hot anesthesiologist that I had when I had my c-section with the girls. He was heckling me through the curtain while I was getting undressed when I first got in. He remembered me and was anxious to hear about the girls. He is so hot and very funny too. I also had a yummy post-op nurse. He was wearing a pink scrub in honor of breast cancer/prostate cancer awareness. Gotta enjoy a guy who can wear pink. He was super nice and had a great sense of humor. A good nurse and great doctors make all the difference in the world. I had wonderful luck with both so I am thankful and so grateful.

Thanks to my sister Becky for handling the school drop-off/pick-up for Kori on Friday. Really appreciate you getting up at the "butt crack of dawn" to help out. Thanks for letting her sleep over Friday night too. I'm sure it was the highlight of her weekend. Big thanks to my parents too for their help, as usual. They are probably sick of me and my girls, but they never complain. I am thankful for my friends and family. I wouldn't make it through life without that kind of support.

Jason did a good job keeping things running. The girls were kind to him and slept in until 10am on Saturday and 10:30 on Sunday...lucky dog! He didn't have much extra to do, but I'm sure if you asked him he was run ragged by it all...NOT! He even managed to play in a golf tournament yesterday. My mom came and helped out so that he could hit the links.

Well I think I'll go figure out what to do with my over-sized uterus. A big tote bag? A shopping cart? Fire safe? Hmmmm....
