Surgery was successful! YA!! My doctor was initially going in to remove my uterus and tubes, but once inside there realized the ovaries were a no-go. Had to come out. They were covered in growths and cyst and had to be removed. Let's just say I miss them already. I have had about a dozen hot-flashes that are complete with the weirdest feeling in the world. I can be perfectly fine temperature wise and next thing I know, I am covered in sweat, mostly my head and fast. Just as if someone had thrown a bucket of water on top of my head. NICE......not really.
Doc put me on estrogen and is more than likely going to have to increase the dosage. I am not ready for menopause, but here I go anyway......
The plus side? I am alive and going to be great! All the crap that didn't belong in me is all out. Thankfully, there is that! My kids, family, and friends have been the best! Everyone has been so helpful! THank you to all of you, you know who you are. Extra special thanks to my bff/sis Tonya who has taken 3 weeks out of her life to help me recover. She has been awesome! Thanks to my friend Chuck who took us out the other night before surgery and celebrated life with us. We had a great time!
Life is sore, but life is great! After I am all better, I will be looking for a job. Yup, I said it. A JOB!!! I can NOT wait to get back to work, looking forward to it in a huge way!
Thank you to all my family and friends who have given me so much support and love throughout this entire ordeal. I love you all, all of you!

Your fighting spirit is inspirational. You won't miss your removed parts for very long. Every time you push past that aisle at the store, you'll laugh!! I do, for five years now. Be sure to be patient with yourself and heal well. Big hugs and love. Jenny
