Surgeon and Pictures

These pictures are from inside my belly so if you are queasy, probably skip these ones. I am, but for some reason they don't bother me. Here you are able to see Sulley all nice and snug between my ovary and uterus. You can tell it is definitely bigger than my uterus and ended up being about the size of a grapefruit. One is of it splayed in half and you can see its vascular system. Also, one of it gone with the root still needing to be cleaned up and here it is all cleaned and hopefully able to stretch back out again. You can see the tension on my ovary so I hope with this gone, it'll cut down on my cramps.

I'm in awe of my surgeon right now. I find it amazing that people are able to cut other people open and take the right things out, the right way, and make them feel better. I guess I've never really met a surgeon and only have seen ones on TV and so I just think he's the most incredible guy ever right now. I'm so thankful for him and his skills and for literally saving our dreams of having a family, it's hard to express my gratitude. Dr. Sharp is a rock star in my book, and I can't help but be a little star-struck.



A huge THANK YOU to all my family, friends, neighbors, etc. who have helped with Maggie, me, meals, visits, texts and phone calls to show your concern and care. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I think they are quite cool too. That thing was huge...your poor ovary was being totally stretched out.
