The excitment of my life
Things just seem to get better and better. I went to see my OB/GYN today and I'm going to have a hysterectomy and a vestibulectomy at the same time as my shoulder and hand surgery. I'm REALLY not looking forward to it. I'm going to be a complete mess.
I'm having a hysterectomy for my pelvic congestion syndrome. I had felt better for several months being on the progesterone but for the last five or six months it has gotten really bad again and I have pelvic pain almost all the time. I really didn't want to have a hysterectomy when I was first diagnosed with pelvic congestion but after praying about it and doing some research I feel like it's the right thing.
I don't want to go into too much detail about the vestibulectomy but basically I have been having pain for about the last four months from the episiotomy that I had when I had Teya. I tried a Rx he prescribed for two months and it didn't help so he is going to cut part of it out. Fun huh?
I think the surgery is still going to be on the same day but we're getting it all worked out. I was having it at a surgical center but now I have to have it at a hospital because I have to stay over night. The doctor's have to coordinate everything and get it all worked out. I should know by tomorrow what's going on.

Emotions
On Saturday I was watching a video that a friend made me about my pregnancy with Alton and his birth. Eadie and Orin were with me. There were some receipts sitting next to my computer and I heard what sounded like water hitting one of the receipts. I pulled back Eadie's hair to see her face and she had big tears streaming down her cheeks. I asked her why she was crying and she said it was so sad.
This is the first time that I know of her crying not because she was mad, or hurt, or upset with someone but just crying because she was emotional about something.
If you want to watch the video here is the link.

Will it ever end
After dealing with my shoulder for the last 8 months I'm finally going to have surgery on it. I've had three different cortisone shots, done physical therapy and taken medication, but all to no avail. It will feel better for a little bit and then start to hurt again. I had decided that I would get it fixed during the summer so that Teya would be here to help. But my Dad was here visiting and then Justin needed his knee done, so I am waiting.
I saw the doctor Wednesday and my surgery is scheduled for September 8th. I have a cyst on my left hand at the base of my ring finger that he is going to remove at the same time. I also discovered that the middle finger on my right hand is a trigger finger (it started hurting a week ago) and he wants to inject it with cortisone at the same time. So I'm going to be a bit of a mess for a few days.
I'm really not looking forward to the surgery. He said that it's extremely painful. It will be about two hours, and he has to shave the bone down. It is supposed to be straight and instead it curves down and rubs on my rotator cuff. If it doesn't get fixed than it will eventually tear my rotator cuff. What sucks is that sometime I will have to get the other shoulder fixed too.
I feel like I'm falling apart and I shouldn't be since I'm not very old. Wish me luck!

Justin's surgery
Justin's surgery was yesterday. Things went well. It wasn't his meniscus after all it was the cartilage, so the doctor shaved some of it off. He said that down the road he may have more problems with it, but we'll hope not. Hopefully he will feel much better now that it's all fixed up.

Annoying doctor's
The doctor's office called the other day to inform us that the doctor had a meeting and couldn't do Justin's surgery on the 7th. So now it's scheduled for the 4th. Which is really annoying because it was on a Friday and he was only going to miss two days of work. Now it's scheduled for a Tuesday and he'll have to take off four days. I hate the way doctor's schedules are always more important than your own.
