Surgery update

I had my hysteroscopy on Wednesday and I have one word for it: PAINFUL. Before he started I told the doctor that I felt like the fibroid was shrinking. He kind of shrugged it off and went on with the procedure (joking with Brent and the nurse the whole time while I felt like I was going to die). Afterward he told me that my uterus is huge. Normal size is around 40-60 grams, really big is 200 grams, mine is around 600 grams. Yay me.

I guess that's why it's so easy for me to stick my stomach out and look very pregnant. I've been known (and I'm not proud of this) to pretend to be pregnant when the only close spot in a parking lot was a pregnant lady spot. My kids were mortified. Sorry pregnant people, it was a very low moment in my life and I've repented and promise to never do it again. In my defense, I am carrying around a very large fibroid tumor that gives me back aches and makes my hips go out on me.

My hysterectomy is scheduled for October 26th. That gives me almost 2 weeks after the surgery before I have to be at church for our first primary presentation practice. He's doing the surgery laparoscopically so it should be an easy recovery. Let's hope all goes smoothly!
