Many Prayers

I write this with a heavy heart but feel we need many prayers in the next coming weeks. When I wrote about my postop appointment I wrote that I needed to rest more. When I went into the postop appointment I had some abdominal pain and was still bleeding from having Lil Harry. I was examined and he found a polyp. He did try to remove it but could not and was told that I would be reevaluated in 4 weeks.

Unfortunately, after only 1 1/2 weeks I have had more pain and bleeding then before. So I went back in today instead of waiting another 2 weeks. The polyp today still could not be removed therefore he put some medication on it to cauterize it and hopefully will go away. Also we discussed my abdominal pain. It has been very painful and so we discussed what our options were which we are going to do all.

1. Ultrasound ~ to see if the scar tissue is growing and to look at my endometriousis.
2. GI appointment ~ to make sure that my bowels are ok and that is not what is making the abdominal pain
3. Urology ~ to make sure my bladder is working ok also. I am actually going to see Dr. Radamacher which is Ellaree's Urologist.
4. Preop appointment with Dr. Sherman ~ reality is finally coming and we have discussed and scheduled a hysterectomy for me. I have always been told that with my endo that I would need to have my children early and then I would have a hysterectomy. I knew in the back of my mind that this would eventually come about but even with it being real I am still trying to wrap my head around everything. It is not a light decision that we have made but one we feel we need to make for our family. Even though we are done having children it is still a very final decision that we are making. I have been doing a lot of praying in the last 4 hours of just having peace over this decision and knowing that this is the right route.

I will have this done Monday, March 14th at Franciscan Skemp Hospital. He will be able to do this laporscopic unless of course he comes across some complications and needs to open me up completely. I will be able to be at home that same evening.
