While I haven't been sleeping easy this week, I know that pretty soon it'll be for the better. I'm nervous, yes, but hopeful that I'll get a good outcome from surgery. Hopeful that I'll have no more pain in my life. While endo doesn't have a cure, I can only hope for a pain free life for awhile and I know that this way, going to the doctors at the Center for Endometriosis Care, is the best way to get it.
The doctors at CEC are endometriosis specialists. They do excision surgery there pure and simple. They will spend the time to cut out all of the endo that they see. No longer will I be subjected to 2 hour surgeries since the doctors get paid the same from the insurance companies whether it's a 15 minute surgery or a 6 hour one. These docs at CEC have been known to do 13-hour surgeries before for the more complicated cases of endometriosis. I'm not sure how long my surgrery is going to be, what exactly will be done, when I'll be back at our hotel, or when I'll feel up to telling you all how I'm feeling. So much is dependent upon what Dr. Albee believes that is going on internally and what he finds when I have my surgery and my own recovery afterwards. I'm scared but I know that I'm in capable hands.
Well I gotta go for now to finish getting ready...do the last minute packing, go to the airport, hug and kiss each one of my children before we go to board our flight.
Say some prayers that this is it, that I'll be pain free after this. All of us endo sufferers deserve pain relief...all 7 million of us here in the US and 70 million of us worldwide.
