As you may or may not know I had a hysterectomy last week. This is something that I have known that I should do for a very long time. My doctor told me after I had Char that if my laparoscopy (that cleaned out the endometriosis) did not work then I would need to have a hysterectomy. This was a tough pill to swallow. I knew that we were done getting pregnant; just wasn't ready to take the plunge.
About 3 weeks ago I began having pain that was worse than normal. Something made me go to the ER. I did and found out that on top of the endometriosis I had fibroids on my uterus. I immediately broke down. I knew this was the end of the road. I knew that Dr. L would not let me go another month with this.
Sure enough 2 weeks later I had surgery. Before the surgery I prayed for peace in the decision. I knew God had other plans for us. I knew that this was best for my health. But I was just struggling with the decision. The day of surgery I woke up rested and at complete peace. This was the right thing to do.
Yesterday I received the pathology report from my surgery. The findings were significant for fibroids..duh. And then the big one I had "precancerous changes on my cervix". I froze. I couldn't move. I kept saying "What?" over and over again. Fear hit me immediately. I was reminded by a dear friend that I no longer had a cervix! They took it out!! And then she reminded me of how the Lord was in the details of this surgery. I went in for one thing but was potentially saved from something else.
I will still have to get tests done and she still wants to monitor me closely but I am so grateful that I had the surgery.
