Well I guess the Alamo could have sustained Santa Anna's army if they had the right ammo. lol The doctor managed to take out the two masses and save my ovary. He says I will be fully operational with in 6 months! Yay! and we ride off into the sunset.....
I did have to spend 2 days in the hospital because they had to open me up. For some reason they first thought they could do the whole procedure by pulling out plums size cysts through quarter sized holes. But I believe they came to their senses and remembered the goal - save the ovary. Which they did. They said there may be some damage to the Fallopian tube, but it can be fixable if Dan & I ever want to have kids of our own. So I am happy to know the option is there if we ever wanted to. But right now, I think I am just happy to be a functional woman. Yay!
So Gary and Gilbert didn't seem to mind that I was gone for 2 days. But it IS bugging them something awful that I can't bend over to pet them, pick them up, and play with them like I normally do. Gilbert has been very needy. He cuddled with Dan on the couch for a long time. I felt bad because when I got up to go to the kitchen, he came, too. Poor guy looked so comfy on Dan, but he wanted attention from me too. Gary tried to jump on the bed last night to sleep where he normally sleeps, but how I was sleeping I couldn't adjust quick enough to accommodate him and he ended up sleeping on the floor.
I am supposed to be off work for 6 weeks! I am glad most of my work is on front of the computer. But I am not supposed to drive because the incision is right where the seat belt goes. That is going to be frustrating. I can't lift anything over 10 lbs for 6 weeks. So Gary I could probably pick up, but no Gilbert for a while. I am not sure how I am going to manage to get up and down to our 2nd story apartment. I think I may be stuck up here for a few weeks. It was hard walking up the stairs. Maybe I'll pretend I am a princess stuck in a tower waiting for the prince to rescue me. lol I have business appointments next week, which I should have known better to make. So I will have to bump them or encourage to do more over email. It's not like it's A LOT of business, so I could easily accommodate myself I suppose. ::sigh:: I am going to just have to receive company at home if I want company.
This will be completely worth it after this 6 weeks. Well, I hope so. lol We'll see. I hope Gary and Gilbert will be ok with me not picking them up for a while. Dan will have extra cat duties for a while.
So I am glad I am ok, glad the best worked out, and happy to be here. Yay! I am going to make myself a "high fiber" breakfast. The doc ordered "high fiber" everything for now on. So oatmeal it is this morning. Yummy.
