Killer Attack Womb Removal, Part the First

[bcholmes]

I dropped off the_siobhan at the hospital about twenty minutes ago. As I understand it, she's going under the knife around about 8:30. She didn't want anyone with her while she waited.

For those of you who don't know, Siohban has a Killer Attack Womb. It's a condition called adenomyosis, and it's caused Siobhan considerable pain over the last six years.

I told Siobhan that I'll pop in to the hospital this afternoon and watch her sleeping. I'll post something here to let people know how the surgery went.

Oh dear

My thoughts are definitely with her. I can totally sympathize with her condition too. I've suffered something similar for a while. The only thing that helps is putting me on megadoses of birth control pills (Ovral - The morning after pill). I've been off it for three weeks, and I'm nervous as heck as to what might happen next time I go through my cycle again. I may decide to get back on it though.

Anywyas... my thoughts are definitely with the_siobhan.

good thoughts and wishes to both you (because waiting sucks) and to siobhan (because major surgery, no matter how happy of an occasion, sucks).

I told Siobhan last night that I'll be thinking good thoughts for her today.

Thanks very much for keeping us all up to date BC. I really appreciate it.

she is thought of, and good health wished for her.

Aak! She has my sympathy. I've got it too (as far as we can tell), but a much more minor version. I had flooding but much less pain than Siobhan. (Flooding gone and cramping reduced now, thanks to a foreign object named Mirena.) And I'd do damn near anything to avoid general anesthetic, so I can get an idea of why she put this step off so long. Hauling out organs is a big decision.

Hope the recovery goes well and that she finds herself pain-free very soon!

My thoughts will be with her too.

Thanks for the update. I've got all fingers and toes crossed!

She didn't want anyone with her while she waited.

Are you sure this wasn't just so she could flee? :)

I've been thinking of her all day and trying to send good vibes, and please do send an update when you have a chance and let us know how she's doing.

And when we can bring her a tray of sushi.

Oh, best of luck to both of you! I hope the surgery goes smoothly and well, and that the results of it are exactly what is wished and no more. :-)

sending hugs and healing thoughts her way. I knew she was having surgery but wasn't sure what.
