About the surgery

It is Saturday today, two days after the operation. It has been pretty hard so far.

So let me tell you about Thursday, I went in with Kimani at 9am for my 1030 surgery and everything was going as scheduled. It is funny that I never asked how long the surgery would be, but I was surprised I was in recovery at about 2pm. That was one long surgery.

So the doctors told us that I pretty much have endometriosis all over my pelvis. They opened up my left ovary and drained the cyst that was about 6-7 cm, but thankfully they did not take it out. In addition, they opened up the right ovary and drained a second cyst that was there of a smaller size. Though I still have both of my ovaries I have to go through intensive treatment for the next six months. Their plan is to shut down my ovaries for six months and give my body a break and hope that the endometriosis dies completely. After that they will wait for my ovaries to come back to working order and hopefully we will be able to conceive again then.
