Ouch. Ouch. Ouch.

Surgery went well yesterday. Textbook apparently. 

Dr. S said I needed to have the surgery desperately as the fibroid had my uteruses twisted to the right and was calcifying. The fibroid was the size of a babies head but textured like a head of cauliflower. For the sake of my fertility, they left 2% of the stalk of the fibroid in. As she she didn't want cut too deep

Into the inside wall of my uterus. She says my future pregnancy, if I have one, will be well monitored and they can't see it being a problem. Because they had to make a 10 cm diagonal cut in my uterus, I will have to have a c-section. 

I also have a 12 cm vertical cut down my abdomen. It hurts. I have been pretty tough and didn't take much of the pain meds last night. I was pretty out of it and slept on and off most of the night. Today, I have been awake. They took out my IV and catheter and I have take a couple of walks and am being encouraged to go pee by myself. 

It burns! The gas pain is also ridiculous. 

I am looking forward to feeling better!
