I wanted to let my viewers & Friends know I will not be posting again until Wednesday or Thursday of next week.

Monday Feb 9th, I will be having surgery. Laparascopy and D&C.

I am allowing a 3 to 4 week recovery time. This means I will not be weight training, doing any Cardio or serious dieting. I will aim to eat clean during recovery.

May peace be with you all

Hey everyone, I'm back.

Not too sore. My shoulders are killing me though from all the gases. I'm all bloated.

Real quick.

Doctor removed what he could however he says I have severe endometriosis. It's all over my colon. In a couple weeks I meet with him to discuss a hysterectomy.

I'm thinking..........no comps this year.

I'll write more during my lunch hour. I have a lot to catch up on.

Stacey thanks. I'm kinda bummed out because I was hoping it could all be taken care of on Monday. Didn't expect to be awakened by, "Krystie, you have severe endometriosis and I removed what I could. Additionally, you have this on your colon as well. Your options are hormone therapy that "should" burn off the endo on your colon or do a complete hysterectomy! These will be discussed in my office in two weeks! Good Luck!"

I gave my doctor a thumbs up with the hysterectomy. I'm just really worried about my colon. Been doing all kinds of reseach and it's freaking me out BIG TIME.

The pain in my shoulders is starting to fade away. I NEVER thought it would. wheww......I've been drinking sprit all day. My diet hasn't been too good. Just started eating yesterday.

Thanks Atherjen. Nothing more upsetting than having your heart set on competing then having it all taken away. Guess it's better to get this all taken care of sooner than later.

My next appt is Feb 24th. An update will be posted then.

how are you doing?

My dr. woke me up after my surgery and told me I had endo. real bad and I started crying and got depressed--SO I CANNOT IMAGINE HOW YOU FELT! I'm sorry sweetie, and I'm here for you!!!!!!!!!

Don't worry about eating so clean, just put some food in your body so your medicines work right

Babsie....If you were here in Houston, I would drag your butt shopping today. Shopping makes us feel better. Stacey wouldn't go...she gave the excuse of this thing called WORK! LOL

BabsieGirl

I'm feeling much better today. My shoulders do not hurt nearly as bad. I can sorta bend over to tie my shoes..........my butt hurts to sit.

My stomach still feels a little tender and I have yet to be able to stand straight. I CANNOT WAIT TO SHOWER and SLEEP IN MY OWN BED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be honest and say I'm feeling depressed.

I hear ya. I wonder if I'll ever make it now. Like, will I lose my drive to fight for what I want, or let my sadness get the best of me?

I just don't feel like doing anything. I'd rather sit in a corner and hybernate all by myself and drown in my sorrows.

LOL @ you and Stacey. Shopping always lifts the spirits. BTW -- HAPPY VALENTINES DAY LADIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wish I could go shop. I'm at work till 6pm.

Maybe I'll take the family out to eat, buy a movie and go shopping for a bit. I'm slow moving these days so they'll probably want to skip the shopping. Then again, Wednesday I went shopping for a little bit and my hubby complained because the motor cart was slow.............

Hey Babs ... yoiu'll recover. You have to fight the self pity thing. You know you can kick this thing in the a$$ and come back better than before .. you just have to stay positive.

Stacey

HEY SHUSH IT!! I WANT TO GO WITH YOU SOOOO BAD!!!! LoL

Stacey

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY BABSIE!!!!

I understand that you are depressed and upset-- You have every right to be--However you have to do what NT says--- Try & Stay strong~ You can deal with this-- I know you can!!!! We will all help you fight it!! I'm here for you sweetie!!!!!

Sometimes I still get depressed about my whole situation--but I know God gave me this b/c he knows that I can handle it--that I am strong. I believe he did the same for you... Your going to be okay I promise!!

Sounds like your starting to feel better though, thats good. Don't do too much though--even though you may feel like you can soon, remember that your insides need lots of time to heal

JLB001

Hmm....we could tape a sign to her rear that says...."slow moving vehicle" hehe.....

Stay positive, this will all be over soon.

hey babs....i'm thinking of you over here in the land of Oz...you just stay strong girl, you will get thru all these obsticles...take care of your beautiful self xxx

BabsieGirl

Thanks Everyone.

I know this is going to be a hard journey for me. It's just so depressing not being able to do the things you love, even if it's only temporary.

Today, I feel MUCH better. There's still some discomfort but not nearly as bad as last week. I think yesterday I felt 70% better. The more I twist in my chair at work, the more the cramps start to come back. So, no more twisting for me today and for a while. I'm not NEARLY as tired anymore and I don't easily wear out. I'm getting to be more and more alert plus, my energy is coming back. The appetite is not back yet. I think a lot of that has to deal with feeling sad. ALTHOUGH, I'm not as sad this week as I was last. This sure takes some time getting use to.


OMG -- I know this isn't as exciting for you all as it was for me. But, FRIDAY I WAS ALLOWED TO SHOWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh, it was like heaven. Took a while washing everything because I had to be careful of my incisions. I was sooooooooo nervous when my hubby took the bandages off. I thought my tummy was going to look a fright. It's bruised with 3 incisions. One on the right and left of my belly button and another just below the hair line.

Stacey: Did your back cramp up and ache a lot after your surgery? Also, I think I'm going to not try to have anymore children and go ahead with the hysterectomy. My children need their mommy more than they need their mommy to bring another being into this world. Plus, once I have the hysterctomy, my family and I will be set free. Since I was 13, Endometriosis has taken over my life and my "family making" decisions. 14 years of pain, etc..........is enough and I'm ready to lead a normal life.
