geez Regina. Please be well. I am concerned for you. Putting off

critical care may not be the best idea. Can this be done lap? If that

cyst bursts it could cause a bad infection Regina. Not to burden you

darling, but you know, your dear Tim will help you limp to your son's

grad if nec, and nothing will be lost, but so much gained by seeig

after your health in a timly manner.

Please do not take risks if you don't need to.

hang in there. AND REMEMBER, NOTHING IS LEAVING THE PLANET!!!!!!!!!

love,

Regina,

Just my personal thoughts here but I would think you will feel better after

having the surgery done. Sounds like you feel awful now. Think about it

dear. Yes, you'll be a little tired afterwards....you are tired now. You'll

wake up from it and there will be no more bleeding. I'm concerned about your

iron levels with the way it is now. You will have some aches afterwards but

what about now? Trust me, you won't lose sleep over the hysterectomy.

When I had my hysterectomy, it was much easier than I thought. Of course,

it's major surgery and that's not a picnic. I was in the hospital 3 days.

Went in on a Monday and was back to school the next Monday. I walked like

I'd been riding a horse and was pretty pale for awhile. It was a good excuse

to ask the young guys to carry my books...lol. Actually, my backpack was on

wheels. I only needed help putting it in my Bronco. Then I was back at work

in two weeks. I probably pushed that a little fast.

My concern is that you are only going to feel worse if you don't just go

through with it. You can still make your son's graduation after the

hysterectomy.

Only my best thoughts sent your way,

Dawn

Thanks Dawn and I know I'll be feeling a hell of a lot better once I do have the

surgery. I also did the math and if they rush me in on an emergent basis now, I

will be able to make my son's graduation. However, three weeks after having had

the wls, my daughter had a Thanksgiving show at her preschool, she was a

pilgrim (cute as a button I might add). Anyway, I was sore and feeling a bit

miserable, but wouldn't miss my little May Flower. Well, two days later I came

down with some sort of flu bug with temps going as high as 105 and had to be

rehospitalized with pneumonia. Preschools are breeding grounds for all kinds of

crap and I got most of it. : ) is graduating from elementary school, 4th

grade, and I'm still getting notes at least three times a week from one class or

the other about strep throat running rampant and we've just had three cases of

scarlet fever. Just from past experience, I don't want to be around over 100

kids and their siblings in a closed school auditorium hacking and coughing all

over me when I'm just a few weeks post-op. Don't want history repeating itself.

Makes me cringe just thinking about it. If I catch something while I'm there, I

still have two weeks before my surgery to recuperate. Don't ever want to be that

sick again post-op.

As far as the hysterectomy goes, I'm fine with it. I'm done having children and

my uterus doesn't define who I am. (one of my friends actually started to cry

about how she would feel she wouldn't be a " woman' anymore), basically my big

mouth and silly attitude about most things define who I am. My psychology

professor is having a field day with me this semester. I'm taking it easy as

much as possible and the kids and my husband are pitching in right now. Doc told

my hubby that I can't do anything strenuous before the surgery or it may lead to

a problem and I will have to be rushed in. So we're all dealing and coping and

praying that I make it to 's graduation and that I finish out my summer

session at school. Have two more weeks of four days a week, two hours a day. I

think I can, I think I can......

Thank you so much for your concern and thoughts. I could use all the help I can

get right now.

Regina
