The Fralick Family

I just wanted to post a quick update on my surgery....it was on Monday, I was fine up until they wheeled me into the actual operating room; then I was scared and wanted to cry and tell them that I didn't want to do it! Everything went so fast though and before I knew it the anesthesiologist was telling me she was giving me some medicine; then I woke in recovery. I pretty much slept all of Monday day and my family visited that night. Tuesday I rested quite a bit, slept a lot again; Casey and Kevin came to visit me (thanks!). I was hurting, but it was about what I had expected. It wasn't excruciating, but it just hurt. My throat kept hurting, they told me it was from the anesth....I woke up in the hospital Tuesday night very nauseous with a lump in my throat. They just brought me another pain pill and I went back to sleep. Wednesday morning I told the Dr. about it and he prescribed me an antibiotic to take home. I got to go home Wed. afternoon, and I slept the whole afternoon. My throat was really bothering me, I looked at it with a flashlight in the mirror and I'm sure it's strep throat. It feels exactly like the last time I had it and has the same red mark as the last time. I would think my antibiotic would make it feel better by now, but it still hurts. I cough all of the time, which is not good on my belly! I've also been developing some wheezing, which if it doesn't get better, I guess I'll have to go to the Dr.....ugh. I'm just tired all of the time, which is to be expected I guess. Bill had to work today, but he has been so great taking care of everything, cooking and cleaning. I love him.

As far as surgery, he was able to fix my "deformed" end of my tube and he said it flushed great with dye now. He found that my ovary had some cysts or something on it, but from what Bill said he wasn't too concerned with it and left them. He also found my intestine was stuck to my ovary and he fixed that. So, for now, I recover. I go back to him in 2 weeks to get my bandages off and should be recovered in 6 weeks. Then, he wants to try to let me ovulate on my own for a couple of months and if I don't, then we will try fertility meds. I think he believes this surgery will help me do it on my own though. I hope so....one at a time would be nice (kids, that is!)

That's all for now, I am seriously wiped out from sitting here typing this. For those of you who knew about the surgery, thanks for thinking of me!
