Phillip The Magical Ovary/Mass/Who Knows What
Since Thanksgiving I have been mentioning T having surgery to remove Phillip whatever it is that he may be, and i figured I should probably give a little update. T's surgery is scheduled for 8:30am today. We finished up most of our Christmas stuff last night since she will be stuck on the couch for the next couple of weeks. This morning we left for the hospital at 6am and I stayed with her while she got prepped. I left for work and am now getting some stuff done that I have to do now, and posting apparently, and they will call me when she out of surgery. They are hoping that they can do a Laparoscopy and it will be outpatient and she will recover quickly. Her doctor did say though that with all the surgeries she has had done down there that she may have too much scar tissue and they may have to cut her open. Then she would have to stay in the hospital for a couple days and the recovery time could be up to 6 weeks. I will probably only work a half day so I can either take her home or stay with her at the hospital. I wont be around much probably.
I'm really stressing out about this whole thing, had a little emotional break down in the shower. I'm terrified of Hospitals and have never had any surgery myself and i think thats probably playing a big part in why i'm so freaked. Ugh.

I am sending good vibes your way. I know it's scary stuff. It sounds like she has competent doctors who know what they are doing, so try to not be worried (so much easier said than done!). Best wishes for you and T, and let us know how it goes.

~~positive health vibes~~
You're both being very strong during a trying time. Good luck and keep us posted!
I hope all goes well and I'm sure it will. Surgery can be scary but sometimes a necessary evil and worth it in the long run. Hang in there and keep positive thoughts!!
Take care and I hope for a speedy recovery!
T got out of surgery at 11. I went and hung out while she was in the recovery room. They did have to cut her open and found a lot of adhesions and one very large fatty tumor. They removed it and she will have to stay in the hospital for a couple days now. Around 1:30 they finally got her set up in her hospital room and she was awake enough to talk to me for about 2 minutes. Since she seemed settled and sleepy i decided to go back to work for a few hours and then i will go back to the hospital tonight.
Thank you all for your kind words, they helped alot!
