So I am at home resting & recuperating now. Surgery went without a hitch on Friday. It took a bit longer than they expected because of the amount of endometriosis that was present, but Dr. D was able to preserve an ovary which should prevent me from having to take any hormone replacement until regular menopause. I stayed overnight at the hospital and my dear friend Angela brought be some Dairy Queen which almost made the stay worthwhile! :)
Matt brought be home about 11AM on Saturday, and I spent most of the day resting in bed (the Tempurpedic at our house is waaaaaaaay more comfortable than the hospital beds). I took off the patch they gave me at the hospital to help with nausea...which was a mistake. Once Matt got a prescription for the patch called into a pharmacy, my world got much better.
The healing process will be slow, but it is nice to get to do it in my preferred environment, surrounded by people who love me...Mateo has been practicing giving gentle loves to Mama for the past few days. It's nice to get to spend so much time with him.
The pictures are from last weekend's trip to Boise...Ellie celebrated her 3rd birthday a few days early with the book club aunties...and then we got to go to a park to play with Cole & Ellie. I'm telling you, I think Mateo is going to grow up as a soccer fanatic!! Mateo loves babies...here he is giving gentle loves to Brandon (Hillary's son). Finally, cousin Matt, the seminarian, has been a big help the past few days with Mateo. He even fits in "Mateo's House"...we enjoy having him around!!
Hugs from Silverton, Sarah
