Life had returned to as normal as
could be waiting on my 6 week post op checkup. I had planned on updating after
that appointment, and letting everyone know how great and wonderful I felt...
and then I was quickly reminded that I just went through a major surgery for
cancer!
Monday night I awoke to
excruciating pains in my lower back and after a few hours of no relief, Michael
and I went to the ER in the middle of the night (of course isn’t that usually
when you go to the ER!). It was one of
the fastest and most efficient ER visits I have ever had, except for the pain
med part. They were a bit slow on that! I had a CT scan and it confirmed a
kidney stone. It also showed something suspicious on an ovary, but that was due
to the recent surgery, thankfully! I have since been home, running a fever off
and on, and the pain has moved to my lower abdomen. It looks like it will be
a movie watching weekend!
And now to what I originally
intended to tell you all!! My 6 week followup was on Wednesday, and I have been
released to resume normal activities of daily life! That is… after this stone
passes! I am so so grateful that my body is healing just as it should. I had
fears that my diabetes would cause a slow and ugly healing period, but it has
not!
Thank you all who continue to pray
for my recovery. I feel like this week has been crazy, hectic, painful beyond
words, but God made this day (and this week), and I will rejoice and be glad in it!
