Surgery update

Well the procedure went well although it didn't go as expected. my doctor went in fully convinced that he would find endometriosis and there wasn't any. Apparently what is causing the pain I have been having is essentially a vericos vein inside. It is what brings blood back from the reproductive organs. The valves weaken and blood pools causing swelling. Matt said the pictures looked like a big bruise.

I go in tomorrow to talk with the doctor about treatment options and to have the stiches removed. My incisions are very small but there is a lot of bruising around the one in my belly button. My stomch is still very swollen and I look about 6 months pregnant.

On a funny side. My mom had to bring Logan with her to the center when she came in to hear from the doctor. To keep him occupied Matt took him to the little drug store downstairs to get him a snack. They picked out M&Ms and water. Logan carries them to the counter, clears his throat and says " I would like to buy these M's and this water"

All my boys have been very good about taking car of me. Skyler seems to be a little nervous around me and I think he thought the stiches were a little gross. Logan has beeen helping to take care of me by clearing my food trays and bringing me drinks. Today he looks at my bandaids and said "you have owie. You hurt? You need doctor."

Matt has been ammazingly good to me through all of this. Waiting on me, bringing me a fresh cut rose with dinner and making sure that I am taking it easy. He's also been very supportive with all the emotional stuff this brings up.

I feel so lucky to have such wonderful boys taking care of me.
