On the mend...

Dearest friends.... I am dropping in to let you all know that I did have my surgery yesterday. I have been sent the most lovely get well wishes, notes, cards, prayers, and I know that many of you have been wondering how I have done.

I did very well... after 9 months of dealing with severe pelvic pain, my doctor found the source of the problem. My surgery was to last only 1 hour. However when my doctor got inside, he found it worse than expected. I was in surgery for over 3 hours. It was found that I had severe endometriosis and scar tissue, my ovary was 4x larger than normal and my tube was damaged. He believes that I had a tubal pregnancy early this year and some of the damage was due to that event.
At this time... I am happy to say, the surgery is behind me, my doctor told Keith that I will be good as new (minus an ovary and tube) as soon as my insides heal. He also told my husband that I was "one tough cookie" and it was apparent that I had endured a lot of pain. I was never given pain medication as all my tests had been negative, so I just endured. (Barely here the last couple of months...)
All of you have been so kind... wishing me well and praying. You all deserved to know. I felt all of your prayers and love and good wishes yesterday as I lay awaiting my surgery.
Top of my list is just to... rest, relax and heal! I'm letting my husband take good care of me! and to be honest I am using his undivided attention to my FULL advantage ;)
Besides... from a really sore throat from my extended intubation yesterday, a big bloated tummy from the laprascopy and some minor pain, I am in really good shape. I AM enjoying my pain medication immensely! LOL!
Please... keep me in your prayers that my pathology reports come back all clear.
In the meantime... top on my list is:

Thank you all so very, very much for keeping me in your thoughts and prayers! God is so very good and He was so good to me yesterday! I am so very thankful and so very blessed!
Until next time.... I'm going to be resting for awhile but keeping my heart to God. You all will have to keep your hands to work in my stead. I know I'm in good hands :) My love, Vonna
