I have been MIA for the past week. I hemorrhaged at work and had an emergency hysterectomy to remove a large fibroid tumor. Apparently my little friend was the size of a grapefruit and had my stomach the size of someone 4 1/2 months pregnant. And I thought I was just really gaining a lot of weight LOL.
I lost a lot of blood and had to get two blood transfusions (4 pints of blood). Thank God it was not cancer!!! I was scared to death when all of this happened because the tumor had busted out of my cervix and compressed my organs and entered my vaginal wall. The doctors told me they had never seen one do that. My doctor said a normal hysterectomy takes 45 minutes to an hour, but mine took 4 hours because I kept bleeding the whole time and had a ton of scar tissue from my c-section with my son 17 years ago. All of this was so crazy and unexpected. Thankfully my organs appear to be in good working order as well. I had two great surgeons!!
I came home from the hospital on Tuesday and will be at home for the next few weeks. Of course, DAYS is preempted for two weeks...my luck! Anyways, just wanted to say hey since I haven't posted anything in a week or so. I'm catching up on all the posts and still have one more episode to be completely caught up. Going to get some writing done as well on my next novel in progress.
