Made My Choice

As everybody knows on Tuesday, July 5th I have to have a procedure done because I'm having some female problems. I told everybody that I would let them know which procedure I was going to choose from the two they recommended for me to have (1. to have my female part removed that were showing the problems. 2. To have something like lazer surgery - were they go in with a thin hot wire and shave the inside of me.)

There were good and bad points for both procedures. I choose the shaving - and I just hope and pray that it works. If it doesn't work I can choose to keep letting them do the shaving procedure until it does work or I can just have remove the parts. If it doesn't work I will then go through the procedure of having the parts removed.

I'm a little scared about the whole process. But I have to get it done. I will keep everybody posted about how I'm doing next week.

I plan to take a trip into Philadelphia for the fourth. Surgery on Tuesday. I have all of next week off from work so I'll try to log in as much as I can to see what's going on. (if the pain meds let me!)

LOL,
Angel

Thanks CAT! I'm really letting my worries get to me. When I get stressed out it attacks the muscles in my neck - so now my neck is stiff and causing me to have spasms. So now I'm on muscle relaxers and pain meds. And I feel like I'm in a bubble!!! I will be so glad when it finally over!!!!!

Have they not discussed whether or not you'll be under a general anesthetic, angel? If you don't know what kind of sedation etc you are to have, I'd get on the phone and ask questions. Find out exactly what to expect from the procedure.


As for me, well, I was knocked out cold for the duration - but I was having other stuff done in there too and was in theatre for about five hours. When I came round I was in pain, but I could cope with it...they gave me good pain meds and when I could feel

Agh!~ Oh Ange... I know how that feels... to get stiff in the muscles and get pain in your neck and shoulders.. I get that way more often than I care to... but seems I am prone to carrying the weight of most things on my shoulders.. :(
