Well I am having no luck with computers this year. I am now on my second, but we found out what was killing them Noggin. It is a web site for children, go figure.
So how am I doing?
Well the body is great all healed and feeling fine, But my mind is still tyring to get over having this done. I think all I need is to get back to the gym but I am so busy this time of the year I can't seem to get there. I think it is kind of funny that that not going to the gym can make you feel this bad but I will get to the gym soon and get those endorphins going again. For now I have been doing my situps and all but I need to get back to the water and do laps.

So lets see I have talked too much nothing new. But to recap I feel great I can now be a wife and not be in pain so life is good the rest is easy to fix just get to the gym.

Now all I have to do is wait for Spring to see what happens with the cysts. But over all I am very happy. And I even laugh when I think about all the small things that went wrong with having the his. done

Hello all,
A update on how everything is going. It is well into spring here and no real trouble to speak of, so the hysterectomy worked. I still have half of my left ovary and I have some endometreoises that the Dr. missed. They are bothersome but not worth taken something for it so I do not mind. But the difference how I feel is day and night compared to last year. So I would say having the hysterectomy was worth it.
I will post any updates but till then
see ya
and thank you for listening

Hello All,
Well my one ovary left has a large nonproductive cyst on it. Ouch Ouch. The Dr. and I are keeping track of it we do not want to do anything yet because It's the last one I have ovary that is so for now I am just saying ouch.
But still it is not as bad as it was before the hysterectomy so I am still happier than I was but I can still say Ouch!!
I will post again if anything changes.

Well my jsorgens does not have any affect on my ovaries. At least that what the Dr. said. And spring is right around the corner. I have my fingers crossed that this year there will be no trouble with my one ovary I have left.
The winter has gone bye with no trouble from it. I just wish everything else was going well too. But that is a whole different problem.

Hello All,
Well I have a cyst again. I think this one is different than any others. I will have it looked at today. It came on very fast and really hurts. And the difference with this one is that peeing and moving my bowels is very painful. I have not had one that did this before with so mush pain in doing anything. Well I will have it looked at today and tell you how it goes.
One other thing that is very bothersome, I am taking perks. 10mg for pain that I have because of my blood clots. And the pain is not helped at all by the pain med. I hope all goes well today.
I will write after I see the Dr.

well I went to the Dr's. and he found a cyst 2.5 inches long and 4. inches wide. He gave me some pain meds. and said come back on wed. He wanted me to go to the hospital for pain relief, and I said no just give me something, so he did. It takes the edge off but that is all. On Wed. we will have my updated INR ( has to do with my blood clots ) and we will see how it is doing.
The cyst is fluid and tissue filled. The Dr. said that if it gets any bigger we might have to remove the cyst. I told him that I am keeping my ovary even if I have to be awake for the surgery, and have a spinal.
My family does not do well with out ovaries.
I will write if anything changes.
mnm mom Kathy
Also ouch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mnm mom]

Oh I just give it up!
The Dr. found another cyst on my only ovary. So now I have two. I go for a MRI this week so the Dr. can see everything about it. Because when he tried to see the whole thing, he could not see the other egdes. Oh I give up.
I will write when I find out what is going on.

Sorry it took me so long to get back about my twins Ha Ha. Well the MRI showed that the other cyst is 6.7 cm and is blood filled. That's not good when you are on blood thinners. My other cyst is tissue and blood filled and got a little bigger in the last week. Now you can see them when I lie down. I have found that if I only eat clear foods and keep my bowels empty the pain is better. And the Dr. has given me a very strong pain med for night and a lower dose for day time. They help take the edge off but you still know that they are there. I have found that if I sneeze, the pain makes me see stars.
I would have to get them in the middle of ragweed season
I will be having them out this Friday, but I am keeping my ovary I do not want insant menopause, my mother lost it when she had all of her plumping out. So I am keeping my one ovary left even if I have to sit and watch the Dr. as he removes the two cysts.
So this past week I have been getting ready to have this done, I have gotten my house cleaned and done shopping for the next month. And because of my blood clots I have changed to lovinox injectable meds. It is pretty funny my youngest wants to be a Dr. this week so she helps me out when I give myself the shots two times a day. She is so cute, she washes her hands and then gets the alcohol and some cotten and the bandaids and a sharpie pen to mark the spot where I will inject the meds. So she reminds me to wash my hands, so I do and then she marks my stomach where we will inject the meds. Then she cleans the area with the alcohol and then fans it dry and then tells me to inject my med. and after i am done she has the bandaide all ready and she puts it on my skin. And then she says good job mom, I tell her thanks and she puts away the cotton the alcohol and the bandaids and she tells me to take care of the needle. She is a great kid. Anyone who wants to asks No she does not touch the needles or the box they are in.
And no they do not hurt. The 1st time was a bit freaky but it is okay now. To tell you the truth the bandaides are the worst part taking them off, ouch...
Well I see the Dr. today I will write after i see him.

Well I saw the Dr. and he told me that he spoke with all my other Dr's. and they all decided not to take them out because the risk outweights the gains. So I get to take painkillers for now and eat very little. I am now taken injectable blood thinners till the cysts break or they resolve themselves. The Dr.(OBGYN) said it could take a month. .
The Dr's. all say I should have a removeable filter installed in the main vein in my pelvis till the cysts are gone. Just shoot me now. The filters are put in about the same way they do heart caths. I have had that done and it's not too bad.
I will write again when I see the Dr. again.

Sorry it took me so long to update this mess. Well all my Dr's. talked about my twins and what we have to do with them. And we made the dision to remove them with a C-section cut, and put in two drain's well. with the filter for blood clots put in first than the cysts came out right after. Having the filter put in was very strange. They go thru your neck, look on youtube to see how it is done. Just look up filter for blood clots. I am sorry to say that I watch the video before hand. Bad move, but it was not bad at all. Just three weeks after and I still have a black and blue mark on my neck. And a stitch sticking out of my skin that the Dr. said will go away soon.
When I was brought to the operating room everyone went out of there way to be nice and upbeat. My Dr. came in before we started and introduce me to his staff and we all said a prayer holding hands. I asked if we could and everyone said that's a good idea. One thing that was strange was the table I had to lay on was padded, like a very good bed and it was heated, I said my bed at home is not this soft, and the nurse said it is new. Something to do with blood flow.
Removing the cysts went well, I was kept on a respirator for about a day after to help my lungs get rid of the remains of the gas they use to keep you out. And I stayed in CCU while I was in the hospital. It was so they could keep a eye on me at all times. By day three when I was aloud up out of bed, it took two nurses to help me move all my machines to the bathroom when I needed to go. It was pretty funny. And for some reason the Dr. made me take a water pill 2X a day. Lets just say it made life just a little more funny.
The staff that cared for me was great, they were very nice and we made the bathroom runs into a joke. I had my own room so it got boring with no one to talk to, but it was nice too.The only trouble I had was I got a infection in two places from the injections I was given. I am still fighting the one on my side where I was given injections of blood thinners 2X times a day. That one was bad it was rock hard and hot and 7 inches round. I am still taking meds. for it. I think that is the worst part of the whole thing. the DR. wanted me to go back into the hospital again because of the infection, but I said no that is where I got it so I am taking two different antibiotics for it. Boy do they make me feel sick. But hey it is better than being in the hospital again, and the strange part is the smaller the infection gets the sicker I feel. Well something had to go wrong, I was i a hospital after all.
Also the general anticeation has upset my lungs so now I am back on O2 again, joy. I will have a cat-scan to see if my lungs are alright. Well as okay as they will ever be.
Well it's late so by for now,
