Sliced and Diced!

Whoever said 3 times a charm was completely wrong. A month ago we tried an IUI one...last....time....I know I said I was going to straight to surgery after the miscarriage, but after waiting so long for my hcg to drop I didn't want to wait longer to try again and the Dr. thought we could give it a go. Well Either way I'm waiting now! After 10,921 days on this earth... That's 1560 weeks and 1 day. Which is 29 years and 328 days, including 8 leap years. (equals 29 years, 46 weeks and 6 days.) At the age of 29.90...just 36 days shy of my 30th birthday, I will be sliced open for the first time! And I thought I had a good "never had surgery" streak going too!!

I go in for surgery today at 3:30. Tuesday I talked to my Dr. about the procedure. I was in the mind frame that they would not cut me open (Partially because I read online that they don't always have to). Well my mind frame was wrong! They will do a small incision and cut through the uterus, resulting in a recovery I wasn't mentally prepared for. From the way he describes it I assume it's similar to recovering from a c-section minus the small child being removed from the body. I just have to settle for a fibroid. He says I'll be layed up for at least 4 weeks. I'm going to try my best to shorten that length. They will give me general anesthetics (put me 100% out) and I do have to stay at least one night in the hospital.

Trisha is stuck covering all my work at the studio. Poor thing. I did stay until 9:30 last night to try to get as much done as I could and totally missed the Graham County Fair. (I know! What a freakin' sacrifice! I'm so good.) Poor Dustin is stuck with all the house work (and because I've been working the past 2 Saturdays I leave him with a very messy house to clean up) The good thing is I will still be at home so I can boss him around while he does it. haha.

My nerves kicked in last night at about 5:00 and have come and gone since. Of course I trust my Dr. 100% but still...I've never been sliced open before. I'm sure it will all be fine and hopefully will solve my issues. Only time will tell.

(Oh yeah...and the title to this post comes from Dustin. Last night at my parents he says "Tomorrow my baby's going to be sliced and diced" such love and care shows. hahaha)
