Surgery is coming!

Finally! A date is set! I met with my dr today and went over my CT results. A mass that is basically like 5cm is hanging out in my pelvic region. There isn't any additional fluid like my last cyst. It doesn't look like its attached to anything. They said they can't rule out malignancy. My dr said bs. Literally said it full out loud. It was kind of funny. I guess he's pretty confident that its not cancerous. Hahaha! Made me laugh. So what it boils down to is he just needs to get in there and get a visual of what he's dealing with. So we'll do the laparoscopy. He's going to go in and see what's going on. All things well he'll just be able to get it out and bag it up and I'll be on my way to healing up. Slight chance I might lose my right ovary and fallopian tube. He said if its attached to anything else or something he's just not comfortable messing with or unable to do laparoscopically then he'll probably refer me to an oncologist in SLC. Fingers crossed they don't have to cut me open. I'll be doing all this before my bday and was really hoping to not have anything interfere with Jackson's first bday. Guess next week we'll figure it out.

So next Monday I am fortunate enough to have to start drinking magnesium citrate at 4pm. I will be cancelling girls bball practice and not going ANYWHERE that evening. Me and my bathroom will be best friends that night. Then I get to have clear liquids up until midnight and nothing after that. I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am to check in and my surgery will be at 7am. If I'm lucky I'll be home by early afternoon. I think last time it was like 7 hours from surgery start to when they released me. So hopefully the same or less this time around.

Well that is my update. I'm not really nervous. Scott was asking how I felt about all this. I've done it before and I know I can get through it. I'm not really sure how I will if I end up minus one ovary or anything. I think it'll be a little sad knowing that it'll make things that much harder to have any other kids. But I really have no reason to complain. I have one boy and one girl. What more can I ask for? I'm fortunate enough to have them without any major struggles. So I think I'll be good either way. I could either sit back and just be sad and ask why do I keep having these issues or just deal with it and move on with my life. I think the only way to survive anything sometimes is by taking the positive route. I've taken the negative and its not fun and kind of miserable. So here we go! Wish me luck! :)
