I had an appointment with my doctor this afternoon. I'm going to have a laproscopic hysterectomy sometime in the next couple of weeks. Since it's just my uterus that is the problem, that's all she's going to take out. Earlier in the week my understanding was that I'd have to have it removed abdominally, which had me freaking right the fuck out, so talking to the doctor today and finding out I don't have to have my tummy sliced open was a HUGE relief. I'm still nervous about the surgery, just because I've never had anything removed before, but at least I have an idea of what to expect recovery-wise since I had the exploratory surgery last month. They have to schedule with another doctor and the operating room at the hospital, so it might be Monday before I know what day the surgery is schedule for. It's easier to wait now that I know what's going to happen, though.
