Kay,

It is good to hear that the pain is down. I wish you well in your recovery.

Rocky sounds so cute. How big is he?

Rocky weighs 25 pounds!!! He's 1/2 Maine Coon, looks like it, and is double pawed. Buddy is a 7 pound male all-black domestic short hair, and Dottie is a 23 pound female with medium length fur who looks just like a cow lol. She got out into the hallway when the pizza man came last night, but she got scared, didn't know what to do, and ran back into the apartment lol.

The gynecologist never called me yesterday either. I'm very upset. I didn't leave my cellphone number when I left the last two messages because I expected to be home, but I'm going out today and I don't think they have it. I don't know if I'm going to bother calling back again though. I don't know when the pathology results will be in, but I wonder what I'll have to go through to get the results? I'm very discouraged.

Its usually I think a week before they are ready. Not positive.

Just let them call the house phone, at least that way maybe a
message.

I did not know that cats can have extra paws:

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.

i looked at some videos ..i didn't know how large they could be...wow-Stewie, a gray tabby Maine Coon, holds the record for world's longest domestic cat. His full name is Mymains Stewart Gilligan and he measured 48.5 inches long (123 cm). That's more than four feet long!

such great news!

I called the urologist and I have an appointment in mid-April.

I pinched a nerve in my neck yesterday morning, but went food shopping anyway. I got stuck in a line without a bagger and had to lift the grocery bags over the counter and lean over to put them into the carriage, and I ended up pulling a muscle in the right side of my chest and reigniting the pain in my abdomen. I should have told the checkout girl I couldn't do it, but I didn't want to cause trouble or be seen like I was being a *****. I was so ****ing miserable... I ended up taking a Vicodin, and it helped. I'm about 50% better this morning.

I have a ton of laundry to do. I know if I do it, I'm going to aggravate something/everything, but I feel incredibly guilty that I'm not doing it. This is MY problem... if my husband was here he would forbid me from doing it. I keep trying to remind myself of that. Maybe if I find something useful, but less physical to occupy myself I will feel less guilty. I'm so neurotic.
