Thanks for the video Mari. The kitties were adorable!
Rocky has tiger-like stripes like the first very young kitten. I named him Rocky because his paws were so big when he walked it looked like he was wearing boxing gloves


The gynecologist FINALLY called me back AND she had the pathology results!!! Two of the samples were from cysts (As suspected, I had one on my left ovary as well and it was about 3.5cm) and both were benign. The biopsy of my endocervix was too, and so were the three samples of my cervix which reacted to the contract because of cellular changes that are normal. I'm EXTREMELY relieved!!!
She was able to cut out all of my tubes rather than burn them, so my chances of getting ovarian cancer are greatly reduced now
I guess I did have some adhesions: some around my sigmoid colon that appeared to be congenital, so she didn't touch them, but I had a bit around my right ovary that she was able to remove.
She said I had released two eggs, so had I gotten pregnant this month there was a chance I could have had twins... boy am I glad I was on birth control and was getting fixed!!!
I guess that the Nexplanon removal was the last thing she did, and was hard to remove because the anesthesiologist had the blood pressure cuff on my arm throughout the surgery so it went in deeper and she had to dig it out.

I'm so happy that everything came back okay and I don't have to worry about any of this **** anymore!!!

But...And there's always another but...

I have to do something about my urinary retention (d/t MS) because what I'm doing isn't working anymore. I thought I emptied my bladder before the surgery, but when my GYN cathed me she got an 800cc return (that's a lot) even though I hadn't had fluids for 10 hours beforehand. And the last U/S also showed my bladder is absolutely HUGE now. The GYN mentioned that this is something I have to get taken care of, but I already knew that, and called my neurologist's office to ask for a referral about a month ago.

I used to cath, but when I was in the psych ward following my s/s attempt, I had to have someone within arm's length of me at all times. I was paranoid psychotic and thought everyone was too interested in what I was doing, so I started refusing to do it, and when I got better, I could not physically get the catheter in anymore. I know it's psychological. I don't know if I'll be able to do it or not again now, but I'm going to have to find some way to.

The surgery is over now, and I don't need any further procedures, so there is no sense putting it off any longer. I will call for an appointment today.
