Re: Lap is Tomorrow....nervous

I'm back home.The lap went well. They lasered one adhesion that was
almost covering my left ovary as well as some endo on my uterus. I bled
a little more then my OBGYN was happy with but, I'm a bleeder by nature.
I ended up spending nearly half the day at the hospital beacause I just
couldn't wake myself up after I was in recovery. I'd be up and talking
one minute and then the next I was out like a light again. That kept me
there an extra three hours.
Today I'm mostly sore and still very tired, but I do feel better knowing
that this wasn't all in my head and that there really was something
there for me to be concerned about.
Thanks again to all for their support.
