Surgery Date

Well, it's official.  I will be having surgery on Friday, November 5th at 11:30am.  I could really use your prayers before, during and after the surgery! :-)  I know that the Lord will watch over me and protect me. I have had two major surgeries in the past, but for some reason I still get anxious every time I have to have surgery.

Cyst-Free People are Cool

We received great news yesterday at the doctor! The cyst that was on my right ovary is completely gone and the left cyst has decreased in size.  All of this means we can proceed with surgery.  The surgery will most likely be next Friday, November 5th.  The doctor put me on BC pills (blah) to help decrease the risk of me getting more cysts in the meantime.  I'm not happy about this, but it's just one of the things I have to do.  I'm not exactly thrilled about having surgery either, but I am happy that things are progressing.  

My brother made me laugh when I told him that the cysts were gone.  He said, "cyst-free people are cool." I laughed out loud. :-)


Overall, I am happy about this news, but I am also overwhelmed with what is to come.  I'm trying to take it one step at a time.
