First of all, let me thank you for all the prayers, thoughts and wishes in Tenna's thread! I'm glad that I'm finally back home! Being greeted by my beloved girls was wonderful, even though it breaks my heart to turn down Luna's wish to sleep on my belly... I wish I could make her understand why that's not possible at the moment.
I'm still very tired, and - sort of - depressed; I don't know why. Maybe it's because I'm so much in pain since yesterday! The first days after the surgery were much better, and I'm afraid I walked too much on Thursday (when I heard the news that it was NO cancer, I was so happy that I had enough energy to walk into the park around the hospital, and I even walked stairs... BIG MISTAKE, for now I'm paying the price for it, and can hardly move. Last night, they even had to give me painkillers, which make me feel very tired today.
On the Friday morning, I was kind of shocked when the senior physician told me that I was one of the rare cases where these tumors were detected in such an early state that they haven't become cancerous (and I hope they did not overlook any cancer cells!!!). She actually said I'm the lottery winner at her station, because usually it's already too late for the patients when they have noticed something's wrong. So she told me life obviously has still some plans for me, and that I should be grateful that my gynekologist found this last week, and sent me to hospital.
I know I should do a happy dance now, but right now, I'm still kind of shocked how close it was...It's such a scary thought!
Another thing that made me upset was that I learnt I have two myomas in my uterus, and a bad case of endometriosis. The removed a lot of that endometriosis stuff from the outside of my bladder and my inner pelvis. I really wish they had removed my uterus as well. Not only that I'm tired of all the bleeding and the pain, but if the myomas grow, I'll need another surgery sooner or later, and I also feel that my bladder problems would get better without that endometriosis ****. At times, I need to go to the bathroom 4 times in an hour, and that's utterly annoying and doesn't allow you to live a normal life!!
Will write more the next days, when I'm feeling better. Just thought I'd let you know that I'm back home!
BTW, has anyone here heard from Pawla? How her surgery went and how she is doing?
