Surgery went as planned and I'm already home. RE says he believes he got it all, but we'll need to wait until the post op HSS to really see, since he thought he got it all last time (due to the nature of scar tissue, more could grow post-op).
Good news is - NO BALLOON! Yipee! At least I think there is no balloon. I'm still medicated from the post-op pain, so I wouldn't quite feel it yet, but I do think he said he didn't have to put one it. Which is fantabulous news!
Hoping I'll just have some mild cramping today with a full recovery by tomorrow. I have a roller derby skate-a-thon tomorrow night, so I hope I'm all good!
Anywho, just wanted to give my update. Thank you to all who sent me kind thoughts and prayers.
Wait - I just remembered a part of the conversation. I think he said he removed a polyp that was in there too. What's that all about? When did that appear? And why do these doctors give us information when we are all groggy from anesthesia?
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me

- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Hopefully you are recovering from your last oven surgery ever!
I'm glad it's over, I hope you get some much needed rest.
I'm so glad that everything went well and that they didn't put a balloon in. But you'd think they could write this down or something if they're going to give you all this information when you're still out of it!
Hi Nancy, thanks for stopping by my blog. I'll have to read back through some of your archives to catch up on where you are. Hope the recovery is going well.
I'm glad your surgery went well and I hope you recover soon. :)
That's what my first surgery was for, a polyp on the inside of my cervix. It just appeared and my Dr said it happens to a lot of women, but if the woman has been having trouble concieving, they usually like to take them out just incase. That could have been why he took it out too.
I'm glad everything went as planned and you're doing ok! Hoping for a quick recovery ASAP!
♥
Glad that's over. Hopefully, you're all nice and cleaned out now.
Hey, you are typing pretty well for somone who had surgery this morning! Glad to see it! Sounds like things went very well. Hope you can an answer on the polyp! I def hate it when you get these major bits of info when there is no way you will remember it.
I am glad it went well! Hopefully you will feel great tomorrow and I hope he got everything! When is the HSS?
Oh yeah, by the way, while you're drugged up I'm going to give you all sorts of important info...wtf?
I hope that your oven is "fixed" and you're able to get back on the TTC ride really soon!!!
Glad everything went well. Here's to a speedy recovery!
I am so glad all went well- although I am a little disappointed there is no ballon animal stories ;o)
you are one tough cookie for going to your skate-a-thon tomorrow, I'm impressed.
SO glad it went ok--and hope, hope, hope this was IT!
Get some R&R=)
Yea, I'm glad its over, I hope everything heals wonderfully. But it leaves me to wonder, where do they go in to do the surgery that you can Roller Derby 2 days later? Hummmm, Technology these days.
