In which I ramble on about things...

[nugatorytm]

I had a hysterectomy on Friday. I had my giant, horse-sized uterus removed, and my ovaries, too. Turns out that I had a honking large fibroid growing up in there, and I was getting anemic. Luckily, they did it laproscopically, and my pain is at a minimum.

My mutant ability to withstand large amounts of pain has stood me in good stead over the years, and it came in handy this time, too. I was discharged from the hospital the very next day. This is not to say that I'm entirely pain free, but it's manageable, and I can deal with that. I hope to be back to work in a week, taking it easy, of course.

In other news, I'm gonna be a grandma in February. My daughter-in-law is due the first week of February, and according to the ultrasound, it's gonna be a boy. They plan on naming him Camden.

Okay, stop laughing.

Anyhoo, I plan on spending this coming week alternating between naps and computer time. I plan on being back on my feet quickly.

I was wondering how things were going. Glad to hear you got through it okay, and I hope you heal up soon.

I'm doing better day by day, and I'll totally be back on my feet soon.

Thanks for the well wishes, they really do help! (HUGS)

Hey there! Hope you're doing okay, and we'll get you a Winston with a couple of books of poetry. And a mystery set in an shipyard.

(Someone needs to make a Reading Winston icon.)

Ooo! A mystery set in a shipyard! That sounds totally fun! Winston reading poetry ain't a bad thing, either. :)

Hmm, didn't whatshername from Sweden make a Reading!Winston pic? I know she did one of him writing in a journal, but I thought for sure she did one of Winston reading, too.

Thanks so much for thinking of me, Deb, I really appreciate it. (HUGS)

See, this is what happens when I don't log in to Dreamwidth in too long; I miss important stuff.

Glad to hear you're doing okay and recovering!

Ah, don't worry about it, it's not as if I were using those lady bits anymore anyway. I did it more for the anemia than the fibroid anyhoo.

Thanks, hon. (HUGS)
