With a Blanket For a Sail...

Surgery was done last Tuesday.  They removed the entire uterus and they aren't sure what the mass was but it wasn't a fibroid tumor.  The way I look at it, as long as it is gone it doesn't matter what it was.  

I came home from the hospital a day earlier than planned which pleases me very much.  The nurses and doctors and the rest of the staff were fantastic and over-attentive, absolutely no complaints in the department, but still...there is no place like home.

When I left the hospital they told me that I was to do bed rest for two weeks and then no lifting, standing for a long time, walking for a long time, etc. for an additional four weeks.  I nodded my head and agreed to all of the terms but inside I was thinking that six weeks was an awfully long time to deal with this nonsense.  I'll be up and around well before that.   

At this point in time I am thinking the doctors knew what they were talking about.  

So, I'm in bed and I'm not even feeling restless yet.

I have managed to catch up on my schoolwork.  Not saying that it's high caliber, but it's done and submitted.  

Through all of this, school was biggest concern, so it is a relief knowing that I can keep up for the last two weeks and then with the holiday vacation I can rest up even more and I'll be all set for spring semester.

I want to thank everyone for their sweet comments and well wishes and prayers.  It really means a lot to me.

Now I am going to take a nap.
