What the doctor ordered...

"...Do you like Scotch?" the doctor asked me as I lay flat out on the operating table.
"Why yes! I do..." I answered through my oxygen mask.
He grinned and announced "Well..here's about 120 Scotch's in one hit..." 3..2..1.. Blackout.
Ahhhhh....General Anaesthetic. Gotta love modern medicine.
My surgery was a success. I am officially sans fallopian. I really don't miss them at all.
"What A Mess" was apparently uttered a few thousand times during surgery. My doctor told me afterward that he was going to send his assistant to the corner if that phrase passed his lips one more time. My ovaries were covered in cysts, my tubes were fused to my ovaries & lots of adhesions. A curette completed the procedure & ample amounts of Morphine over the next 3 days made me sorta glad to be alive.
I spent 6 days in hospital & am now home, milking this for all it's worth. In the past 2 days my Mum has vacuumed & mopped my house & sorted all my laundry. Hubby has fluffed my pillows & gently helped me out of chairs/bed/lounge & I have had a stream of visitors bearing flowers, magazines & lunch. Who needs fallopian tubes with friends such as these?
Four key topics have romped through my head since my last update.

1. Owww. It hurts to cough, laugh, breathe.
2. I discovered Sex & The City on hospital TV repeats. How could I have missed this?
3. How is Danae? What's happening on her HPT/Cat live coverage?
4. Did that newsreader really just say that Tom Cruise proposed to Katie Holmes?

Well...heaps of other stuff too, but I'd best save that material for my next post.

Hi, Simone,

First, I want to wish you a speedy recovery from your surgery. I'm so sorry that you had to have your fallopian tubes removed and that you have had such troubles having a baby, and I hope that IVF will be a great success for you.

Second, thanks for leaving your comment on my blog; the part about the white Kleenex made me laugh! Your comment led me to discover your blog, which I have enjoyed reading.

Take care, and best wishes.

Jill

Simone, Glad that the surgery went well and may it be the first of many medical things to go well for you. Definitely continue to milk the recovery for all you can from Mom & husband.

And yes, I'm so sorry you had to come back to a world where Tom & Katie are getting married.

I wish you a speedy recovery Simone! I am glad that you are surrounded by family and friends at this time. How long before you're back on your feet?

I am attempting to schedule a laparascopy in August. I also have cysts, may need to have a tube removed, fibroids, possible endo, etc. . . It sound like I too may be a real "mess" in there.

Take care!

Glad you're home and well.
And TomKat will soon be a married fusion of creepiness.

Unless they run naked with chickens--In which case, God Bless 'Em.
