Time to get that little polyp removed. I have to get to Mercy Hospital super early, so I drive myself and Matt will arrive later to wait and be there for me. I get all checked in and am in the prep room. I have a wonderful nurse who really takes the time to talk to me, get to know why I'm here (as much as I want to share) and help me relax. I guess a good thing is that you have to remove your contacts and then I was not able to see a lot of what was going on. One thing that had been a constant in all my appointments so far is that my blood pressure has been kind of high. I know its nerves and stress, but I need to really work on this.
Anyway, the anesthesiologist comes in and gets to work. While they do this, they put these amazingly soft boots on my lower legs and feet. They will actually massage my legs while I'm in surgery to keep them moving. It feels strange at first, but then really good! Needles in my hand and I'm talking a lot because I'm nervous. I'm asked if I want some 'calming' drugs and my nurse says,... yes, you probably want these. So, they hook me up and I'm feeling really relaxed in a matter of minutes!
The next thing I remember is waking up and slight cramping in my abdomen. Nothing major, but uncomfortable. I think Dr.Fleming came in to talk to me, but I can't really remember. I am told everything went fine and to take pain killers for the pain, etc. Polyp is all gone and everything else looked normal, but we still have the fibroid. You have to pee before you are discharged and this is really hard, lol.
I recover really quickly. I have an exam with Dr.Fleming 2 weeks later to ensure I'm healed and everything is all good to go. I am and we are to try to have our baby the 'a la natural' way for 3 months and then go back in to see the doc.
At this point, its almost summer and I'm thrilled to be able to be doctor free and feel this is it! Over the next few months we'll be baby making and there is nothing in our way!
