Be brave, all of TCS will be thinking of you, praying for you and sending many good vibes your way!
You are going to do just fine - absolutely fine. I just have a feeling that everything is going to go smoothly without any complications, without any hassles or concerns, and that you will be back home tonight enjoying being fussed over and pampered. I think that operating room is going to be pretty crowded with all of the good vibes joining you in there!Originally Posted by kittylover4ever

LOL, I have to laugh, when you started out your paragraph with, "I didn't want to scare you but" I didn't read this till this morning. Your right. I keep thinking the worst, but through all the other tests my gyno did, he doesn't think it's anything life threatening. I have always had in the back of my mind that someday this may all end up as a hysto, and if it does, it does.Originally Posted by jcat
I don't want to scare you, but I had severe abdominal pain in the summer of 2002. I collapsed while out shopping, and ended up in the hospital. The diagnosis was a myoma (benign muscular tumor) on my uterus. I was told that it could be removed using endoscopic surgery. Unfortunately, the surgeons determined that I had massive adhesions, probably due to an undiagnosed infection, and severe endometriosis, closed me up, and did a "normal" hysterectomy three days later. So I ended up in the hospital for a week and a half, and at home for another two weeks. I couldn't lift anything for about 6 weeks, and walked very slowly, but after 6 months I was totally back to normal. As the average age for menopause in my family is 56 - 60, not having to worry about cramps, etc., has been a real blessing, as far as I'm concerned. I wasn't a good patient - two hours after surgery, I got up (with my husband's help - he's an RN at the hospital, so I was given a lot of leeway whenever he visited), went outside, and enjoyed a cappucino and a cigarette.
Why am I telling you this? Because I was really afraid that the tests would show that I had cancer. I was so relieved that I didn't, that my attitude towards all the related discomforts was - grin and bear it! I imagine that you're fearing the worst. Don't! There are so many possible explanations for the pain you're suffering. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that your pain is being caused by something minor, and "easily" correctable. Good luck tomorrow!

Susie, you're in my prayers and thoughts today, my friend! And if it does end up as a hysto, well, there are some wonderful perks that come along with that!Originally Posted by kitty[url="http://www.adsrve.com/linkredirect.php?h=10,-1,thecatsite.com,0"

Thanks again for the love and support...........you guys will be some of the first to know how it went........(well, Jerry and Mom get first dibs!
Heh, when I had mine done in March '03, that was the first time I had ever had stitches, stayed in the hospital, anything serious, so trust me, I do understand!Originally Posted by kitty[url="http://www.adsrve.com/linkredirect.php?h=10,-1,thecatsite.com,0"
lover4ever]Your[/url] right Cindy....I"d just have to live through the operation and hospital stay first......not that that itself would kill me, but my nerves would probably get me!! LOL I've decided what comes, comes. I will handle it to the best of my ability!
