It's Gone!

I came home yesterday from the hospital sans fibroid! The surgery went well. It took longer than expected (5 hrs instead of 3) because it was bigger than they thought. Turns out that the fibroid was much bigger than my uterus itself. And, it was located completely in the top (fundal) wall of the uterus. It didn't penetrate into the cavity so they only had to cut through the outer lining of it. They are still recommending c-sections for future births because of how much they took out. But, the robotic procedure worked very well and I only have 5 tiny incisions instead of a giant one. I am quite sore but that's what prescription pain meds are for. I still can't pick Aaron or anything heavy up, which is the toughest part. A few weeks of rest and I should be back to normal! Thanks for the thoughts and prayers.
