Monday After My Surgery

Well. Good morning! I am at work this morning. The last few days have been pretty rough! I had my surgery Thursday, everything went well. I am still hurtin pretty bad in my lower stomach, but that is normal. I have to go back October 29th, that is for them to see if the Cancer is all gone after the procedure they did. I have a long wait until then. I am getting around well, as far as walking. Ben had a hard time trying to keep me in bad for the last 72 hours! I colored in Julianna's coloring books, watched more TV in the last 72 hours than I have my whole life, didn't sleep much because of the pain and my little brain going 90 to nothing.I have slept probably 12 hours total since my surgery. I get to finally see Julianna today, she has been away with Family since my surgery and I miss her! Just wanted to update everyone on whats happening. Going to the Dr. today to get some medicines and for them to make sure everything is healing right. Thank you all for the support. Emails, texts, phone calls, letters. It makes it alot easier on me knowing that I have good people like you all, at my side supporting me thru all of this!

Day before Surgery

Well. Tomorrow is the day that we have all been waiting for. I booked a hotel room for tonight in Galveston. My sister-in-law is taking me down there and staying with me. I go into surgery tomorrow morning at 8:30am. Procedure should not take very long, maybe a hour at the most. I have not been able to sleep well at all this week :( Maybe after tomorrow that will change once it is over with. I said a big prayer to God, asking him to watch over me thru all this. My family and friends have been very supportive as well. I really appreciate that alot. I will be in bed for the next 3 days after my surgery, to prevent internal bleeding. So, i will not put any updates in here until I am back at work on Monday, hopefully. After this surgery, I wil go back in two weeks to make sure everything is ok, then 3 months to see if the cancer has grown back. So cross your fingers when it comes to my 3 month appt. I am very tired and stressed out right now, as I said before, I am feeling very overwhelmed. BUT I know that everything is in the lords hands and it will be okay! :) Hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend. I will try to send a group text to everyone once I get back home and get comfortable. Keep me in your prayers that is all that I am asking. I am praying for a fast and easy recovery so that I can get back to my normal life. Until next Monday.......

I am new to this blog stuff so, be patient with me as I learn it!

I guess I will start out by saying that back in July of this year (2010). I was diagnosed with stage 2 cervical cancer. I have been dealing with Doctors, Insurance Companys, Surgeons, and Pissy Nurses! I had a friend of mine that has been fighting cancer herself, start this blog for me because it is very overwhelming trying to keep all my family and friends up-to-date on whats going on. The reason being is that you get tired of telling diffrent people the same thing over and over again. So...:)....this blog is designed to keep my friends and family up-to-date on how I am doing, whats going on with my cancer, yada yada. I just found out on Monday that my Laser Surgery date was changed from 11/3/10 to 09/23/10 because my cancer is growing rapidly. So I am pretty nervous about my surgery next week, but I am ready to get it behind me. At this time, I do not have to take Chemo or Radiation. So I am ready for next Thursday! I will post on my blog daily for you to check out! I love you guys!
