Yeah I know I've been slacking. One of my lovely RL health conditions has been causing a lot of trouble and I am undergoing surgery for it on Tuesday July 2nd. Long story short, ovaries can grow back if the surgeon misses a little tissue. Its rare, and even rarer for BOTH to grow back, but hey weird and unusual seems to just be part of who I am.
To avoid missing tissue this round, the new surgeon has determined that laproscopic surgery is not an option so I'm having a laprotamy. Basically my whole abdomen is getting cut open and my guts are getting taken out so they can make absolutely sure to get all of the ovarian tissue. The bad thing is I'm SEVERELY overweight and have other health issues so this is going to be a bit risky and my primary health issue (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility Type) makes healing a bit of a bitch (pardon my language) so what is an average 6 week recovery time may well be 4 to 6 months for me.
Needless to say, I'm nervous as all hell and having trouble sleeping thanks to the nightmares my anxiety is giving me. I'm very lucky that I have an amazing support network of friends and adopted family.
