I wanted to take a few moments to update my situation. I had a complete/radical? hysterectomy Thursday, 1/4. The surgery was done using the da Vinci robot which assisted the gynelogic oncologist to make four incision in my abdomen in order to remove my fallopian tubes, ovaries, uterus and cervix. The mass growing in my uterus was much larger than expected so it was removed throguh my vagina by making two incisions. While it is expected to be benign, the mass is being tested now. The surgery took 3+ hours but I have no memory of going to the operating room. After about 30 hours in the hospital I came home last night and went to bed. I've needed very little pain meds but those incisions in my abdomen are a bit tender. I have a huge pillow protecting the area when I cough. Our two cats think the pillow is placed their for them to lay and watch me. There is some blood when I urinate but that seems negligible and painless. I intend to go very slowly and let myself heal. Thanks so much for your concern, prayers and advice to someone you have yet to get to know. Now I'm going back to bed for a while.
