I Made it through surgery

Yes it is true. I survived my surgery. Was it pleasant well as pleasant as surgery can be. I am happy to say that the cyst was on the outside of my ovary instead of inside. Which means I still have both my ovary's and they look. Good. Forgive me if this is a little loopy here and there. I won't be on long.

The hardest part is laying around. My back is sore and so I keep shifting and get up to move the body parts around. I need a bath and will try to take one tomorrow. Can't wait for that. Ugh!!! The insiztion is sore but not bad. I am able to finish peeing for the first time in years. I can't believe that. He said the cyst was siting on my blatter and leaning on my intestines. Explains alot. I won't go into in now since the codine is starting to kick in. Want to make some sense. Will keep you posted. Have a great night. God bless. Cath

Well its off to Surgery

I saw the doctor today and we discussed my grapefruit sized cyst. He suggested that I try to remove just one ovary instead of both. Even though I am 51 yrs old, my ovaries still produce a little of the much needed hormones. Better to have the natural one instead of the fake one hey. My right ovary will be checked out and if it doesn't look good, it goes too! My left ovary will be taken out on the 12th if I can get some medicare from the state. See my husband is still unemployed, he is working part time for a friend but it is not enough to take care of all those wonderful medical expenses. I will still get the surgery but I have to jump through all the hoops with the state and hospital first.

Anyway, God is so good. The doctor I am seeing is a Christian dr. and he is only charging me 30% $450 instead of the normal $1,700 to do the surgery. The hospital will charge me well you know, and arm and a leg and then some. Why I get charged $20 per pill is beyond me.

Once everything is taken care of (paper work) then I get my surgery which I need of course. I feel this thing in there every day. Some days it hurts alot. So it's gotta go now. Please pray for me gals that I can get all the financial help possible, that God will open all the doors so we don't sink further in the financial hole than we are already. Jobs here are sparse at best and I can't really get one right now. I still want to finish school which will open up more doors and help pay bills better than minimum wage will.

Thanks for thinking and praying for me and of course all your kind words and encouragement. I will keep you posted on my progress. Have a wonderful, creative night. God bless. Cathy
