Thanks! I had two endometrial polyps removed yesterday and it involved a D&C and hysteroscopy. All together I think the procedures was under a half hour but I had a really nice nap. I didn't need pain killers until 2 AM when 1 Advil wasn't enough and at 3:30 I popped another but they were just bad cramps. Today I feel normal. Yesterday with the anesthesia I felt a bit light headed so it was nice to have DH with me and we watched 3 episodes of the new Bridgerton season.

The polyps are at pathology but my gyno doesn't expect malignancy. I'm perimenopausal (not post) and not on Tamoxifen both of which would make me higher risk.

Now I just need to get back to myself. I didn't sleep great but I expect today and getting regular now that I can take all my supplements will help.

The kids at work have been off the wall- it's not even summer weather, it was in the 40s this morning- but they can smell the end and are checking out early. Fun times.

I have a meeting after work but it should be a quicker one, followed by a relatively light second shift once home.

ExH rant- Thursday is oldest's birthday. He told the kids he took the day off and is taking them out of school early and they're all going on a mall shopping spree. I stayed quiet. He texted me yesterday to share the plans (that I was already aware of) asking me to let the school know. Yeah, no. I reminded him that he's also listed as a parent on their school records, sent him the school's phone #, and said he can tell the school. I don't think that them missing the last hour of one school day will destroy them academically. I don't personally take them out for the occasional fun thing, but I know families who do this and I'm sure it's great. But if he wants to, he has to make the call and deal with the attendance office.

He obviously acted like I was saying no and is now claiming I'm keeping the kids from him and he'll have to let the kids know that I said no to the mall trip. I calmly reminded him that his options are letting the school know, and springing them early, or, if he doesn't want to call the school, to pick them up at dismissal at 2:45 (or wait outside our home for the bus to drop them off at 3). He wouldn't hear it and is just repeating that I clearly don't want him to have a fun birthday outing with them. I'm considering legally changing my middle name to Bigger Person bc if he lies to the kids with his ridiculous side of the story, it'll take every ounce of composure I have to not show the kids our ridiculous text exchange. I won't. But I wish I could

@banana468, ouch! How much time should you take off for that? What’s normal recovery? I’m having woman issues myself and I’m wondering if I’m headed in that direction. I’ll know next month when I see my gyn.

@ei34 what an asshat! Did he do that to deliberately cancel and make you look bad? I dunno, I’m saying show them the texts at this point. They can come to their own conclusion on how Dad is.

When my parents were here they assembled a shelf unit so today I got to move my scattered clutter over to that. I have way too much stuff from my travels. They also tried to put a new make-up vanity together (I also have too much perfume and cosmetics), but my Dad couldn’t align everything together. We took it back, wayfair has a $115 assemble fee, which I think is fair. That comes on Friday, and the assemblers come on Sunday. I bet I could get it done cheaper with taskrabbit but it’s by the hour with them and then I just feel more comfortable with a assembler from a company than an app. When that goes up, I’ll feel much more organized between these two things making it more cleaner in my digs.

@ei34 ditto on the asshat. It's so hard to not write out "You are welcome to do this. This is how to make it work. I am not facilitating this but will not stop it." FFS. What a child.

@CharmedPam I had two periods earlier this year that came really close together. I still don't know what's up with that but I flagged it to the OB and they pulled me in for a vaginal US to see what could be going on and the US found a polyp. Based on that they scheduled me for the surgery yesterday with was the polypectomy along with hysteroscopy and D&C.

We got to the hospital at 7:30 and I think we were back in the car by 10:30 or 11. The procedure itself was over in less than half an hour and most of the rest was prep and me sleeping off the anesthesia. I'm basically done with the recovery. I was a little light headed yesterday so DH stayed home and did the driving of kids as needed. He's WFH today to make sure I'm not having issues but I think I'm done bleeding and have very mild cramping. Sleeping last night wasn't great but if I took Advil before bed I probably would have been fine. Instead I let it wake me up and that was annoying. I even worked out this morning and did a 20 minute low impact ride on the spin bike to do something. I didn't want to lift but will do that either Wed or Thurs to get back into routine.

Glad you are feeling back to normal @banana468.

Yes what an asshat! I'd be tempted to show the texts too just so the kids know it wasn't you. You definitely should change your middle name.

Our new bed frame was delivered today. We really like it. It does hide more of the adjustable bed frame which was one of the reasons to get it.

I looked more closely at the preliminary bid for a house we were considering building her in Indy in lieu of moving to Chicago. However it came way above our top dollar. When I initially looked at it,I didn't realize the number didn't include upgrades (some of which are non-negotiable) and there is probably no way to get the price down by eliminating negotiable upgrades. I take this as a sign we should move closer to DD.

Continued healing vibes @banana468

Thanks everyone. DS came home excited that his music teacher picked him to participate in something cool towards the end of the day on Thursday, so I let exH know that the choices are pick them up from school at dismissal or be waiting for them at our house when they get off the bus. No response, but I imagine he'll just go with one of those choices.

Or blame you that it doesn't happen at all. Which is patently absurd.
