THE BUTTERFLIES ARE A FLOATIN'...
You know that awful feeling you get when you know something is comming up and you try to put it out of your mind. I've been like that for several weeks now but the date is nearing and so are those damn butterflies of nerves.
Aug. 26th, this time in one week I will be on the operating table. Just the thought of another op annoys me. I have a 4cm growth in my left ovary. Funny I should be classing it as left or right because I don't have a right one. I had to have that one removed many years ago with a cyst the size of a small orange.
I've since had my left ovary anchored down as it kept twisting around causing me great pain. It was hoped that when they stitched it on either side it would be fine. I'm told this is common after years of IVF but question it as my other cyst was before we started with all that. Anyway this 4cm growth isn't just fluid filled it has a tissue of some type in it so must be investigated further. They will try to disect it from the ovary and remove it first but if not possible the whole ovary will be taken. I feel far to young to have to start hormone replacements but will have no choice if it comes to that. Perhaps it's for the best with the trouble these ovaries give me. Between me and the boys we've seen our fair share of operating theaters so this had better be the end of it.
I guess the nerves are just getting to me today hoping the tissue is nothing bad. Feeling rather run down with a cold and just need to get on top of it all so the op can go ahead. Another early night would be good if only I could sleep!!

OH Kristen I feel for you i truly do :(
I will definitely be thinking of you on the 26th August-one of my friends is going in that day too for removal of a fibroid cyst from her breast.
Loads of love and best wishes I am sending your way-I know its hard but try to get some rest and hopefully it will all be over before you know it.
Take care of YOU

Oh Kirsten, i will be thinking of you on the day of the operation and hope everything is alright.
Take care of yourself ~ i know thats hard to do when you have 4 boys to look after!
Sending a big hug to you.

Thanks Megan
I hope your friend will be OK too.
I guess it's just the thought of knowing everything is definite when you don't have ovaries.
Thankfully my family is finished but it's weird that I still feel it's being taken away from me.
Silly I know.
As much as I know I won't have another child as four is busy enough this will be final and that daughter will never come into my life.
How ridiculous is that thinking!!!
best wishes!!!
I hear ya... the waiting is the worst part. I've had several removed too and I'm always a little skittish until I know for sure it's "all good".
Try not to worry too much...
sending cyber hugs your way!
Kristen I will be thinking of you!! I hope everything goes well!! Take care, feel better soon & try to get some sleep, I will be keeping you in my prayers!
sending lots of love & big, big hugs your way!!!

Dear Kristin,
I wish that I could reach out and give you a hug. I am so sorry that you are having to go through all of this. I have had more than my share of surgeries and I know that the worst part is waiting for it and dreading it. I so well remember the butterflies and sleepless nights. Sorry that there is nothing I can say that will make you feel any better. I wish I could.
I hope that all will go well and the lab results will be good news.
I will keep you in my prayers.
As I've already stated, I think the waiting is the worst part. Once I am in the middle of it, I just go with the flow and get better. I suspect that you will find that the surgery is not as bad as dreading it is. I think think this time next week you will be greatly relieved that the surgery is over and you can put all of your energy into recovering. I hope so anyway.
Let us hear from you as soon as you are able. I will be anxiously waiting for your report.
May God bless you and keep you. Good Luck
Love, Grammy Lura
Thinking of you! That sounds MISERABLE! You and yours have been through the operating wringer. I hope this is the end of it and you get to keep your ovary. Hormones sound yuck.
Hello,
It feels like forever since I left a comment and want to wish you all the best. I want to send you all my warmest wishes and I will keep every thing crossed for you. It is so unfair sometimes, it simply is.
I will think of you and your lovely family on the 26th because I know they will all be wanting you home quick.

Hey Kristen,
Just wanted you to know I'll be thinking of you tomorrow. I'll be waiting to hear from Vikki how everything goes. Hopefully ALL GOOD!
Then you have to hurry up and get better quick because I've heard you just 'MIGHT' be coming to Melbourne soon.
Lots of love,

I just wanted you to know that you are in my prayers today. I hope that all went well with the surgery. I will be anxious to hear how you are doing. I had to have a hysterectomy in my 30s. I know that it is not easy knowing that you can't have children any more even if you weren't planning to. My thoughts are with you. Recover quickly. Love, Lura
I know I am stalking-just wanting to make sure you are doing ok :)
Hope those boys are giving you loads of rest and loads of love and cuddles!!!!( I bet they are!)
Take care
