Better now...

Yesterday I made it the whole day without ANY pain relievers! It was/is so nice to be feeling better! I didn't expect the surgery to effect me as badly as it did. I figured I'd be up and back on my feet in no time. I had a blessing before and the thing that stuck out is that my surgeon would be able to fix my problems and that I'd get the needed rest my body has been needing after all the problems I've been thru, so I guess not getting on my feet as fast made me rest more than I would have.

Oh, and I got a new job. Still at the same company, but instead of doing credit, collections, and accounts recievalbes, I am now an assistant to the general manager. I will still be doing the above mentioned duties, but now, I will get to get out with Tommy (the G.M.) and visit existing customers, and try to get new customers, to help increase our sales, I will be learning the new computer system that will be going in next month and training not only the Reno division, but Sacramento, and possibly a couple others, which means travel, and I will be in charge of things like company picnics and Christmas parties. I am really excited about it. Only down-side is that for now, I didn't get a raise. Probably in 90 days...But I am a hard worker and will do whatever I am asked and then some, so I'm sure I'll some kind of raise.

Kids are busy with school, and Jason is busy working. He applied with Washoe Co. Sheriff's office yesterday. Say a pray for him, would you? Thanks friends!

Things are good...

The pathology reports came back, and I do not have cancer! What a relief! I guess other than really bad endrometriosis, I have nothing wrong. I am so grateful. My blessing prior to the surgery told me I would be fine, and it is true.

I go in for my post-op check with the doctor next Wednesday, and I'll get to discuss more with him then. For now, I am just working on getting past the pain I am still having, and the fact that the air they filled me with during my surgery makes me look four months pregnant. Vicoden is my friend right now...and lots of prayers.

Funny how I have to go thru this surgery and the pain and the possiblity of not having my health to bring me closer to Heavenly Father, but I have really felt his love so much for me the past few days.

Just kill me now...

I had my surgery on Thursday, September 6. Today is Monday, September 10. I am still in serious pain, and I took my last Percocet at mid-night. The doctor has called in a refill, but until I can get to the store, I wish I could die.

I have 2 small incisions; one in my belly button, and one lower, on my pubic bone. I had a very large amount of endromitriosis, which he cleaned all out, and found a small stange looking lesion in my utueris he sent for a biopsy. I didn't have to have a period this month since he sucked all the stuff out, but he didn't remove anything at this point. He wants to see how I do in the next few months all natural, and what the biopsy says, and go from there. I wish he would have removed everything on Thursday, because I don't want to have to go thru this pain again. Plus, I really don't want to have to have another period....yuck!

My sister, Elaine, came up and stayed the weekend. She basically kept the kids out of my hair so I could rest as much as possible, and fixed dinner. It was nice. Today is her birthday! Happy Birthday Elaine!!!! XOXO.

Today is really the first day I have been out of bed for more than an hour, and that may have something to do with all the pain. But I had to get back to work. I wish I could have stayed in the hospital for a few more days, just drugged up on Demoral. I had to have a shot of that when I was coming out of my sleep induced surgery, and it was great, no pain, no worries. Great stuff.

My 16th neice was born Saturday morning. Labor was induced on my sister-in-law Friday morning at 7:30, and around 7:30 Saturday morning, Lyndy's temp suddenly elevated,(whose wouldn't after 24 hours in labor?) and the baby turned breach, so they ended up taking the baby by c-section. I saw pictures of her. Lots of dark hair. Her name is Ainsley Kate. They are coming home from the hospital tomorrow.

Busy weekend for the Woodward family...
