Surgery Complete!!!!

My surgery was on June 3rd. It was supposed to a day surgery, but I ended up spending 2 nights in the hospital. Dr. Heard had to do a more extensive surgery to get the biggest fibroid out. He said it was almost the size of my uterus and took up my whole right side. With the septum in there, getting pregnant and/or staying pregnant would have been difficult. I had a Hysteroscopy with Laproscopy to remove my uterine septum. I had a Myomectomy to remove the fibroids. Now I have a 5-6in c-section scar. I will have to have c-sections with any future pregnancies.

When I woke up from the anesthesia, I freaked out because no one had talked to me yet about what went on, and I felt the huge dressing from one side of my abdomen, to the other. I asked the nurse who was taking care of me in recovery, "what did they do to me?"

I'm doing good. I can roll out of the bed on my own, but I still need help to get out of the reclining position. I will be out of work for 2 weeks and I can't drive until my follow-up appt this Monday.

Dr. Heard still only says I have to wait 2 months until we try again.
