Surgery Tomorrow Morning!!!!!!

Aug 28, 2008 09:48PM - 3 comments

Well, bowel prep through tears can be a country song. It is a funny thing. You already feel so sick and have so many things that are going on and even through tears of waiting for surgery, you have to abuse your body more with bowel prep. Actually, I am trying to remain positive. I have been in a lot of pain for nearly a year now. My quality of life has been altered greatly and I cannot even explain it. When I heard I had 30 days til surgery, I was having nightmares and everything. The waiting has been out of control, but here it is and I just want to be through. I just want to be home. I had my pre surgery appointment. Apparently, when I spoke with the GYN Oncologist, he said he would be doing a removal of my 7cm ovarian tumor that encompasses the right ovary and the fallopian tube. He would do a diagnostic and check out what else endometrial tissue he could remove. At my appointment, he said I would be going home that day, so I was at least happy about that. Now, when I had my pre surgery appointment, they prepared me for admission. l am nervous and confused. I asked question after question and the nurse who was appointed to my case said, "of course you will be staying at least one night, you are having a diagnostic laproscopy. So, I will be going with that. We shall see what will come of the whole thing. I will update everyone on my experience and what they find. When I found out I had a tumor on my ovary and realized how large it was and that it was the reason I was so sick for over a year and in so much pain, I cannot imagine that it takes so long and such a road of deduction with all sorts of doctors to figure out what is wrong. I hope my posts help someone else.
See you soon, as soon as I am done; on the other side.
