Mood:  not sure

Just got back from the OB/Gyn's and the news is not good. I have a huge cyst on my right ovary, and shitloads of fibroids. (The doc said if they gave out ribbons, I'd definitely get a blue. I can't grow plants, but apparently I can grow these like a mo-fo.)

I've explored every other option I can, drug and surgery-wise, and it's just no good anymore. The last period I had, I wound up taking two days off of work because of the pain - and pain is a not a stranger to me. Trust me, I can take a LOT of it, and this was beyond my limit.

So I'm throwing in the towel and getting a hysterectomy on the 28th.  I hope that I get to keep the better ovary, but otherwise, just like a cheap carpet store - Everything must go!

It's going to be abdominal surgery, so I will be in the hospital for a few days afterwards, and off work for up to 8 weeks.  

So I guess it's time to beg for some mojo from my friends and family. I'll try to keep things updated.
