OMG! I got a new date! Is #3 a charm?

Hello all of you wonderful ladies!

Well, I have my 3rd. date of August 31st. set to go and be at the castle at 6:00 a.m.

I was going to wait until January due to all of the complications in my life however, to this time I am recovering from the pain of an errupting cyst. This has been happening on a monthly basis. In previous months, I could take 1/2 of a pain pill, but the last 2 days, I have had to take the full dose 3 times before it even touched the pain. With this pain, I got a very painful migraine, thew up for a day and had ice and heat packs around me.

With my quality of life being in such a sad shape, I have decided that surgery HAS to happen.

The first one was cancelled due to death in my family (in May). The second was cancelled (August 3rd.) due to lack of communicaiton about asprin.

Regardless of my fear of the hyst, I don't feel the pain of surgery will even come close to my ovarian cysts blowing up on me every month and puttin me in bed for 3 days.

I am hoping and praying that I will have all you to cheer me on.

I am still scared. I just read about the position they place you in for this type of surgery.

I am looking for some help with a list of questions to ask my dr. when I go in the week before.

Here is my last thread - I look forward to hearing from you and your great support.

I am looking forward to being pain free and this awful nasty feeling of depression, bloating etc the week before. It is like 2 weeks of my life per month is always gone.

I really need to keep my head on straight with this round.

Sincerely Big Hugs -

Tami

Hi Tamy, The position you are in is not that bad, its like going for a pap but your upper legs are in stirrups, thats how the doctor can see what they are doing, just like riding a horse, no biggie. Hey how could surgery be any worse than the pain you are in right now??? I doubt it could be any worse and once its over its over for good, no more pain. KEEP ON PRESSING THROUGH TO VICTORY ON THE OTHER SIDE, you can do it....I am right behind you next month and I am ready and wish it were sooner....HUGS, Denna

Tami.
May I give you a huge hug.
I am so sorry to hear all about your problems and the death of you father.
Keep you chin up and remember you will feel so much better after you have had this done.
I know how you feel though because I am waiting to have mine done.

Hugssssssssss

Hi Tami,

I hear you and feel your discomfort every day...but a little less pain. All my prayers are with you tonight and tomorrow morning and I know you'll do just fine. Go in with a positive attitude..every time I had a surgery done (had 12- laporoscopy, knees, back and breast reduction) my attitude helped my recovery period (bad choice of words, huh) much faster.

I wouldn't worry about the position you're in because you'll be out of it and you probably won't see any of the staff again. Chances are you're going to be sore regardless of the position and/or surgery so everything will heal at the same time.

Chin up, Tami, you'll be okay. I'll write in a few days.

Lot of Hugsssssssssssssss!
Terri
