Well, the surgery is over! But lots of stuff sure did not go according to plan...
- I did not have a gremlin after all. I had an endometrioma. Basically, a super duuuuper huge blood-filled cyst (like softball size) that was from some pretty intense endometriosis. It involved more "clean up" than expected, making my recovery rougher than expected.
- After coming home from the hospital, at about 7:30 that night, I realized I was unable to go potty on my own and had to go to the ER. Steve and I were there until 3:30am. After that, I was admitted to the hospital and stayed there that night and Saturday. At least I had a good view from my room:

I am finally feeling better and on the mend!! The general anesthesia really hit me hard, hard, hard. I have been crazy nauseous for days and just worn down. No fun!!! My goal now is to find a way to make sure the endometriosis stays under control so that the cyst does not return someplace else!
I seriously could not have made it through the last few days with A LOT of help from a lot of different people. But, there is no one who has done more for me than my mom. Words cannot even express my gratitude. Being at our front door in 5 minutes so Steve could take me to the ER; entertaining Wm, keeping him at her place overnight, keeping him feeling safe and calm; bringing me food; picking up things at the pharmacy; and, basically, being a lifesaver!!!!! There have also been so many other amazing things, I can't even list them all. Most surprising was a GORGEOUS bouquet of flowers delivered from Steve's boss!! I have never even met him! Stuff like this is no fun, but it always reminds me how amazing people are. And I am so so so lucky to have such awesome people in my life!
