Sorry its been so long since I've updated the website! I am so sorry about my last post. I didn't realize I had left the website like that.
I had my surgeries just over a month ago (June 7th) and am feeling 100% better! Its amazing how having energy can change your perspective on life. No more Vicadin sucking my energy away, no more constant pain, no more dying for sleep. It took a good 2 - 3 weeks to fully recover from the surgery and luckily my mother came out and took care of me and the family. We don't know how we would have made it through without her. Thanks Mummy! Our Troop also made dinner for 3 nights, which was really lovely of them and made me feel accepted and a part of the troop.
The Dr did find endometriosis while he was removing my cyst. Apparantly my ovary was also stuck to my uterus - these two things in addition to my cyst would have definately caused the pain I was in. I felt validated and devastated when I got the news. I had thought that the surgery would be the end of the road. Unfortunately, I now have to do a 6 month drug therapy that it like going through menapause - its suppose to kill anything they weren't able to get during surgery. I should begin the therapy on the next month or so. I din't want to start right away since it had been so long since I had felt so good. I just want to enjoy feeling well for a month or two.
The gall bladder came out without a hitch. It took a while to get used to what my body will accept now that I don't have it. I lost 10 pounds within 2 weeks of the surgery and have joined weight watchers for the umpteenth time to try to continue the weight loss. I'm up to 12lbs as of last Sat. I guess the biggest thing is that I actaully have the enrgy to care about counting calories and planning meals etc. So everything is going well with me healthwise and I really appreicate everyone's calls and concern. Much love Kylie!
