Just Surgery That's All

I went to the doctor this morning and I do indeed have to go into surgery on Friday. It is a female issue and it is only day surgery, but surgery is surgery right? I hate the anesthesia. That part really bothers me.

My husband is being so awesome about the whole situation. Men never really quite get it when it comes to a female problem and why would they? But he is really being great.

The surgery is called a endometrial laparoscopic surgery. Three incisions and home the same day. I just hope this does the trick and that I no longer have the pain. Incidentally, the doc said he will also check my tubes and make sure they are wide open for me when we decide to start trying. That's a good thing.

I have to go to the hospital in the morning for pre op. It is supposed to take 2-3 hours. Yikes. I know everything will be ok, just sometimes it feels better to write about it.

Still, any prayers you'd like to throw my way would be greatly appreciated! :)

Facebook

I have to tell you that I am enjoying Facebook a little bit! I actually did not think I would like it because I grew tired of Myspace so fast and deleted my account. Facebook seems much simpler and it seems to be more about reconnecting with friends than anything else. I have been able to send friends messages that I have thought about over the years and wondered how they are or what they are doing and it's fun! To me, it's not about who has the best background on their page or the most friend requests, it's truly about talking to your friends and catching up after all the years have gone by. Believe me, I would not add a person to my Facebook page if I wouldn't have a cup of coffee with them in real life.

It is wonderful to see so many of my friends happy with their spouses and some with children. It is so nice to go down memory lane with friends, too. Sometimes I am amazed at the things we do as children and teenagers with little regard for danger, but the good Lord was watching over us wasn't he? I'm so happy to see my friends again and to see how amazing they still are.

Who really likes going to the dentist?

OK, so I went to the dentist yesterday to get my temporary crown and I seriously thought I was going to die in that chair. You know the shrill of the drill? That piercing noise that is similar to nails on a chalkboard? She says, "I will only drill about 2 business cards as far as thickness". Does that even make sense to you? I mean, it didn't to me, I was lying there all novacained up and drooling all over myself. Where is the dang suction thingy? I swear she drilled for like 45 minutes to an hour. Ugh!

Then I had to make the impression, you know, bite down in the goop to make an impression of your teeth. It was berry flavor and it was berry gross. I finally got out of there an hour and 45 minutes later. While I'm at the reception desk paying for the torture, the receptionist makes me an appointment to come back for the permanent crown in 2 weeks. Even with our dental insurance, I still owe a couple hundred dollars, geez. Seems so unfair. I really didn't want to come back, but I have already paid for the crown and I might as well finish this once and for all.

I hope I never have another toothache. I almost want to give up drinking Cokes and eating sweets. Nah.
