As the uterus turns.

I'm feeling SO much better this morning ladies! Still a little groggy from the painkillers, but feeling good. I'd still be asleep if it wasn't for my parents flipping over a HUGE ant situation in my sister new apartment (off Alafaya Court. Right next to Waterford!). FI and I slept with a HUGE line of ants above us all night. The anesthesia seems to finally be finding its way out of my system. I'm not as sleepy and veryyyy itchy (this was prior to the ant situation. lol). My face is also broken out a bit My three new incisions are healing really really well. Two are only about an inch (give or take), while the other two - one being in my belly button - are maybe a few CMs. I'll be scheduling post-op appointments today with hopes to head back to WBP tomorrow or Sunday. Joe has been a huge help to my parents with moving my sister in to her new apartment and getting all the electronics up and running, so I'm not sure they are ready to part with him yet. lol Reality is sort of finally hitting that I lost some rectum. Don't get me wrong, I'm so glad to still have my ovaries, but I'm scared to poop now. lmao. Drs also told me mom that if I had waited to do this lap, even if it was six months... I would've lost a lot of rectum and some bowel. Joe and I will talk to the Drs about TTC, but I think we're going to treat the endo aggressively for the next 6-9 months and then shoot for a 2010-2011 pregnancy All good stuff! I L.O.V.E you girls. All your encouraging words really helped me get through all of this. Thank you all SO much.

TESS!! Thank you for the update. EEEK to the ants, although I'd put up with them to be back near Waterford (I hear it's amazing nowadays!!) Glad the incisions are healing nicely.. is the itchiness due to medicine? Could be. Hopefully that will resolve asap. A 2010-2011 pregnancy sounds perfect - hopefully I'll be prego too!! We'll all be prego mama's together!!!   love you - get better and hang in there xoxoxo When do you have to back to work?

Tess its so good to hear from you! You sound great and you have a game plan which will be so motivating for you. Thinking of you everday and wishing you a speedy recovery. Maybe take some of those pain killers for the road! Stay strong, lots of love!!

Glad to hear you are feeling better! Sounds like you have a great FI and family there to help. Have a safe return back to West Palm.

Court! If you needed blue raspberry flavored condensed milk... you could find it in Waterford! lol The place is MASSIVE. When we lived here, we were alwaysss there. The itchiness is totally do to the meds. Something about brain receptors? It started when they gave me darvocet. I'm used to it, though. It'll go away soon! Jill - yes! We have a lot to look forward to. FI said we'll do what we have to do. We've also decided to start a IVF savings account in the event that we need to go that route. Just like reality hit for me with my bowel, I think reality hit with him this surgery about how having children may be a struggle for us. I know this is totally cheesy, but he was totally my backbone this surgery. He wouldn't leave my side. We're some lucky ladies to have such great FIs Ahh. I finally got to eat some toast this morning, too. Who know such simple things could make someone so happy? lol

Glad to hear you've got your head in the game hun! Joe is amazing and you guys are very lucky to have each other! You know what you have to do and you will. Your life will always be fulfilled bc you have each other. As far as the toast goes, I bet you didnt know something so simple could make you so happy. It really puts things into perspective. Enjoy it love!

I love Waterford!!! It was the best plaza ever. My brother lived in the gated community just across from it years ago. Now he lives in Lake Mary and my sister is in College Park... NOWHERE NEAR! Still love that plaza though. Glad to hear you are feeling better. After your surgery... be careful when you are LMAO! Love ya.

Tess, I'm so happy that everything is looking up now.  You'll be back to normal and pigging out before you know it! It seems like we're going to have a lot of prego's on here in 2010/2011 'cause that's our plan too!
