Well, I decided that it was time that I attempt to sit at the computer and blog. I have a feeling I am going to regret it tomorrow since I ended up sitting on this hard chair, looking at everyone else's blogs, for much longer than I'd planned...but boy does it feel good to be out of bed! My recovery is going very well. As you can see in the picture below, I've just been hanging out with lots of pillows guarding my stomach and the dogs staying by my side at all times.
My surgery was pretty uneventful. It went quickly and smoothly. My doctor found hardly any endometriosis or scar tissue, which is good. Then of course she performed the hysterectomy. I woke up from surgery having a lot more pain than I thought I would have...and my stay at the hospital wasn't too comfortable...but since I've been home I've been good. I'm still taking painkillers & sleeping A LOT. I've had a lot of help, which I am so thankful for. Kylee spent a few days in Snowflake and came home last night. I sure did miss her! I'm already having a hard time not being able to hold her, but I'm just going to have to deal with that!
Lincoln has been waiting on me and spoiling me, going so far as to read my friends' blogs to me, until I got out of bed tonight to read them myself. :) I have not had ONE second of doubt or regret since having this surgery. When I saw the pictures from my surgery and saw the big empty space where my ovaries & uterus used to be...I was BEYOND HAPPY! I am so glad that those things are GONE FOREVER! As insensitive as that might sound, I was so ready for them to go. I am SO, SO, SO excited to have the opportunity to live a pain-free life very soon. I can tell that I will feel great, since the pain I'm having now is just from my surgery & different from the pain that I used to have. I have already started hormone replacement therapy and so far it has gone extremely well. I've had a few mild hot flashes, but that's about it! Let's hope that it stays that way! Now I've just got to take things slow and work on making a full recovery! Thanks again for everyone's thoughts & prayers. We really appreciate all of you!!!

That is too funny your Husband read your friends blogs to you - what a good man ! I am SO happy to hear you're doing well the the surgery went perfectly. I don't think you sound insensitive at all when you say you're happy you had the surgery. I think anyone in your position would have done the same thing. I am proud of you and I feel like you made the right choice as well. I am EXCITED for you to feel GREAT very soon : )
