So, I'm back at home after having surgery on Wednesday. I spent all of Tuesday in bed with intense pain, and the painkillers weren't helping. I wasn't eating or drinking and felt like I was going to blackout whenever I stood up, so we went to the ER. They gave me medicine for the pain (which still didn't help) ran some tests, and admitted me to the hospital. Early the next morning I met with a surgeon (who I'm still hugely grateful for) and he did the surgery.

They removed a huge mass, as well as an ovary and another smaller cyst on the other ovary. The big one had twisted and was cutting off blood supply to the ovary, which was causing all the pain. I have about a 10 inch incision down my belly, and I have a follow up appointment on Tuesday. I actually feel a lot lot better than I have in a while, with little pain, and I'm just glad everything's gone well.

We're settled into our place, and I'm going to try to learn to crochet to keep myself busy. I'll look for a job or place to volunteer when I'm well so I don't go stir crazy.
