I had surgery on Monday. It was a laproscopy to take care of an ovarian cyst and some endometriosis. Overall I feel like the surgery went really well and I am feeling really good. It went better than expected, although I really didn't know exactly what to expect since I have never really had anything like this done.
How do you like me in glasses? I just got them. In fact my parents picked them up in Boise for me and brought them to me so I would have them to wear for the surgery day. I have worn contacts almost exclusively since high school, so it was a bit of a change to have the glasses on. But they will be a nice alternative to wear sometimes.
Here is Will waiting with me pre-op. He was so good to take me down to the hospital and wait with me and be there with me after the surgery. It was an out-patient surgery so after I was awake and doing good we went home and I slept for several hours. My parents were also there at the hospital after the surgery. It was great that they could come stay with us for a couple of days to help out with stuff at home that needed to be done.
Trying on the bonnet. :)
After the IV was in. The nurses had a little trouble finding a vein in my hand, but they got one after getting me a warm blanket to wrap my hands and arms in.
My work sent a pretty bouquet of flowers and my Mom bought me a potted basket of beautiful plants.
The pretty spring colors of this definitely have helped me feel better. :)
I love the woven basket!
And my young women surprised me last night with a visit and they brought a get well card and these chocolate strawberries that they made at mutual. They are so sweet!
I really have not had a lot of pain any of the days, for which I am grateful. I am on antibiotics as well as ibuprofen. Some discomfort but not any bad pain. Overall I am very grateful for such amazing and powerful blessings received and answers to prayers and fasting.

Surgery is no fun! I'm glad it went well and that you're healing up well.
Ah! Oh my goodness, I feel so out of the loop to not know about this. I need to call you soon... will you email me your phone number as all my numbers were lost with my last phone. I miss you & I'm glad your surgery went well!
I'm glad everything went good. Those strawberries look delicious. I think it's nice to have a back up pair of glasses and a little change of scenery sometimes. But still I've had glasses/contacts since 3rd grade and wish so badly I could just open my eyes one morning and see.
Good luck with your recovery. I don't think the bonnet look is gonna catch on. We're moving to Nevada this summer, and we'll be in Logan later in June. I hope we can get together at some point.
I didn't know you had endometriosis. Talk to your doctor about an herbal blend called fertility blend for women. Don't know if it would help. I know red raspberry leaves are great for your woman parts too.
