surgery
Yeah, so I'm going to have a laparoscopic hysterectomy.
It appears that the problems I've been having over the past six months are because I have fibroids and polyps in my uterus. Go figure. As a bonus, I also have what's called a "complex cyst" on my left ovary making my ovary the size of an orange. A complex cyst is a cyst with multiple cysts inside. It will NOT resolve itself like normal cysts. So the thing will just keep growing and growing.
So they're going to remove the left ovary and uterus (keep the cervix). Probably won't happen until end of June/early July (may not go to Twin Trees....). The good news is that it's considered outpatient and I only have to be out of work for 1.5 weeks.

Aww baby, I'm sorry. Let me know if I can do anything for you.

Kristin - Thanks. Maybe after the first 3-4 days you can mario kart with me to kill time. Maybe mario karting remotely will make the game more fun. I can't believe they didn't keep the baby track. My favorite.

CF - Hey, good luck. I'm sorry to hear you have to go through this, but hey, better now, than later...
- Fritz.

Fritz - Thanks. I won't go through menopause as I'll still have my right ovary. Which I'm happy about cause I wouldn't want to go through that stuff now. I can wait. :-)

If it will improve the quality of your life, I am all for it.
Stay healthy before the surgery and keep on working out!
