Surgery
Okay so here’s the deal. I had a tumor inside of my ovary. It was the size of a grapefruit when it is supposed to the size of a grape. I was shocked when they told me they took it out when I woke up. The first thing I said was “can I have kids?” They sent it to the pathologist to make sure it isn’t cancer. She said it is VERY unlikely it is cancer though.
I woke up freezing my ass off. They had to put a blanket on me with warm air coming through it because I was shaking so badly. They gave me lots of anxiety meds before the surgery because I was so nervous.
You wanna know the funny thing. My stomach barely even hurts at all. My throat is KILLING me. They must have shoved that damn tube down my throat. It hurts so bad and I woke up coughing my ass off.
My breathing kept going below 90% so they had to stop the surgery. I believe they were all done. I don’t really know the details of everything because my mom can’t remember most of it and I only talked to the doctor for like 2 minutes when I first woke up. I guess I will have to wait 2 weeks till I see her for my post-op to find out all the details.
Here is the pics: I don’t have a scanner anymore so I had to take a pic of them.

I hope your recovery goes well - not feeling too bad aside from your throat is definitely a good thing! And hey, awesome pictures.

Am I weird? Because I think those pictures are pretty damn cool!
I didn’t even think to mention the whole scratchy throat thing after surgery. It didn’t cross my mind when I had my gallbladder out.. and when I woke up from the anesthesia my throat was so sore. I believe it cleared up within a week, though.

My throat was sore after my surgery as well. It hurt more than what I had the actual surgery on. I hope your recovery goes well! Those are some intresting pictures too. I don’t think I got pictures after my surgery. I suppose I could have asked for the excess boobage they took off.. ^_^
