I know I haven't written in a while.

Still coughing. School's finished. I'm officially on vacation.

Went and did an ultrasound last Thursday. The left ovary looked clean. The cyst that was there disappeared. However, there is a body of fluid on the outside of the ovary. The doctor suspects it to be adhesion from the initial surgery. He also suspects that it may be in the tiny space between the ovary and the fallopian tube, which may make it difficult to conceive. We scheduled a surgery for Friday, December 21st. It's set to be endoscopic, checking out what's going on inside, do biopsies, and repair the adhesion. Only if the adhesion is worse than expected and the doctor decides to repair it manually will we do a general laparatomy. In other words, I might end up with three holes in my tummy or another "zipper" down where the old incision was. We won't know until the doctor has seen what's going on inside.

Bill's calm with this "This is life" attitude.

I'm done being a baby (I think) and now I just want to get it over with.

Gotta go see a doctor about this cough though.

  1. Hey Kate,
    I hope you check this before you go in for your surgery. Just wanted you to know I'll be thinking of you. Hang in there! Oh, and Jordy says, 'Hi.'
    Love, US.
