Update Since My Surgery

It's a little over a week since my surgery and I'm really starting to feel better. My surgery was successful and they were able to remove most of the endometriosis out of my body. My doctor wasn't sure what to expect when she went in there, but what she did find was that the endometriosis was pretty scattered throughout my body. Some people can have it just centralized in their ovaries or you can have endometriosis in other parts of the body. It's kinda like when you splatter paint and little bits go everywhere, well that's how it is for me. I had some all the way up in my esophagus which is really weird.

After my surgery I was pretty sore, which is to be expected. What I didn't expect was that my Mom, who came up to take care of me, came down with the flu. The flu of all things. I tried to take care of her but it was too hard since I had just had surgery so we went to stay at my Aunt's house. Then 3 days later I came down with the flu. Yuck!!! It is not fun recovering from surgery and the flu. I pretty much slept for 3 days straight! Thankfully, I was able to take an extra day off from work since I had the flu. My Mom ended up staying an extra day too which helped tremendously.

Next month I'm going to start taking the Lepro shot to try and eliminate the rest of my endometriosis. I will take the shot once a month for 3 months. Please be in prayer that the shot works, and eliminates the rest of my endometriosis.

Tonight Finn, the little 3 year old that I nanny for, is spending the night with me. This is such an adventure for him. It's all he could talk about this week. When am I going to get to spend the night at Miss Becca's house??? That's just precious! We went to eat at this little Italian restaurant called Campisi's. It's soo good. They have the best pizza ever. Well while we were eating the lady next to us told me that she had been watching Finn and he had the best manners. That was such a sweet thing to say. It just goes to show you that when you really push good table manners while your children are young it will pay off later. I'm soo proud of him!!

Oh my goodness, I'm glad things went well. Can you tell yet if the shot is working?
