Too Much Information

OK, so I'll be the first to say that I have questioned whether I should post this or not, but, I thought what the heck this is what I have been going through for the last almost 3 weeks.

So, let's back up to May I went to the Dr. & had my fun yearly appointment, about a week later, my Dr called me & told me that I had some bad cells on my cervix.  I made an appointment with another Dr.
Dr. Clifford is a family Dr, so he had me make an appointment with a gyno.  I went to Dr Jones, and I was so impressed immediately I knew that I was in great hands & that what ever needed to be done; he would know.

So, to make a long story short, he was very thorough, after a pelvic exam, a ultra sound & a biopsy.  I needed to have a hysterectomy.  Now, remember that I told you that this post is too much info!  Remember that!  My cervix was low & like falling out, I had bad cells on my cervix & a cyst also on it. 

On July13th, I went in & for the FUN surgery.  I have never had a major surgery & have never been put completely under & had the tube down my throat.  While I was in the recovery room, waking up, I was so sick & of course I threw up every where, like it wasn't bad enough. 

I spent the night in the hospital, the next morning Dr Jones came in & said that everything went fine. The size of a normal uterus is 5 centimeters, and mine was 11 centimeters. It was huge & it HAD to come out. 

It has been 2 1/2 weeks, now & this has been very hard!  I have hurt bad & I have slept for at least 2 hours every afternoon.  I have no energy, & I have just been very frustrated.  We have one month from today until school starts, & where has our summer gone.  Dr Jones told me last week, while I was in at my 2 week appointment that this is a major surgery that I had & that it will take 6 weeks until I can really get feeling better.  So, I just need to be patient with my self.

I know that I will end up feeling much better, now that I have had this done.  I just wasn't planning on this being how I would spend the rest of my summer.  So, that is what is happening in my life.  Clayn & the kids have been amazing through it all.  For the first week, my dad came & got me & I stayed in BRC for a week.  It was very good, and so needed to stay with my mom & dad.

Life will only get better from here on out, I just need to be a little bit more patient with my self!
