Well, it has been an eternity since I have posted but I have been busy and quite the slacker, better yet a little like a slug. I went in to see my doc because I had pain from what I thought was an ovarian cyst. I saw Dr. Novas who I swear is a Nazi. She told me the cyst was very small, shouldn't be causing that much pain, wrote a new birth control script and rushed me out the door. Two weeks later the pain was out of control. I went in on a friday to see Dr. Dohr and she scheduled surgery for the following Monday. She had hoped it was just scar tissue from previous surgeries and cysts but she found loads of Endometriosis. Most of it was where my pain was, imagine that...I have went to so many docs over the years and none have been as good as her. I am so grateful she took that step to really see what was going on.
My follow up apt was a few weeks ago and I must say the options I was given were pretty sucky. I could either take Lupron and go into menopause (thanks but no thanks), have the depo shot and have the Endo come back again anyways because it does cause breakthrough bleeding or have the hysterectomy. I can't take the pill because you have an increase risk for stroke after 30 when you have migraines. Soooo, after two weeks of discussions and really doing some soul searching I have decided I am done with children and am going to have the surgery. I am very nervous because I know recovery is no cake walk but I look forward to that day when I no longer have daily pain and persistent migraines (we are talking 3 to 4 three day migraines a month).
So that is what has been going on the our house, not much at all:)
P.S. One week after my surgery Landon's bus got into an accident. Luckily he was OK, I ended up putting myself in more pain because I was hysterical running up there when I shouldn't have been wanting to see my baby. Damn teenagers around here need a good beating!!!!!
