It is Friday, and I have to go to the hospital for pre op tests today. I will be having a hysterectomy on Mon, June 25. I work at the hospital, and I know most of the people who will be taking care of me on a personal level. I am friends with my anesthesiologist, and my surgeon is awesome! My nurses are friends of mine that I have worked with for years. Most of all, I know that the Lord is with me, and will be guiding my surgeons' hands. The outcome is good!
My surgeon will be using a new technique with me. She will be doing a laproscope to see the area, and flexible scopes to perform the procedure. Her hands will be on handles, and there are tiny robots at the ends of the scopes that will do the actual cutting and cauterizing. It is still fairly new, but I am in great hands. (ALL of them!) By doing it this way, the recovery time is shortened, and there are fewer incisions. Hopefully, less chance of infection.
I am looking forward to getting this done, as I have had multiple problems for years (endometriosis, cysts, fibroids--now) I had been told I would never have children because of the issues I had. I was told that I would have a hyst by the time I was 30. My daughter was born when I was 29, and I thank God for her! My little blessing and reminder that when man says something cannot be done, God shows him Who is really in charge!
I will try to keep up with everyone, even if I don't write much for a while!
I love you all, God Bless!
Love, Faith
