Yes, I'm here, barely!

I say barely because I feel like I'm not all mentally here. (On percocet). Close second to the Morphine button in my hand after surgery.
I finally had surgery December 2, supposed to be a same day scope, turned out to be a 3-day, cut me open surgery. But yeah, they did find something. They took out my right ovary and tube which was wrapped with vericose veins, tied the right off, coterized the uterus and found endometrial tissue above the uterus to biopsy. Basically I was cut in half, filled with gas, gutted, and sown back up. I also apparently have anemia, my hematicrit was so low they almost gave me a blood transfusion. I hate to sound so negative, but it hurts!! Worse than the c-section 11 1/2 years ago. I've cried myself to sleep every night on the couch, (I can't get in or out of my bed yet), since I've got home.
On the flip side, I am so grateful for my husband, kids, and family and friends who have picked up the slack of housework, carpooling, babysitting, dinners, phone calls, and prayers. And the D.P. Jaime was very tasty! I love you all so much!! I can't think of a better time of year actually to have down time. What a season to reflect and realize how much I do have. The only thing I want for Christmas now is to feel good, even if just for one more day.
