I didn’t plan on disppareaing but life happens when you least expect it or are prepared for it. Quick update before I head back to bed because enenrgy is at a premium at the moment.
On December 27, I woke up, started my day feeling fine. Within an hour, I was doubled over with the worst abdominal pain I’ve ever exprienced. LG got me to the ER at a nearby community satillite hospital. After two different kinds of CT scan (a stand-up like an X-ray and then the maching thingy laying down), the doc came in to say that I had–her words–“A tumor over mu right ovary about 16×14 centimeters in size. There is a possibility it is ovarian cancer.”
She referred me to a specialist in the same hospital system and his staff got me in on January 5th–something of a miracle that it was so quick over the holidays. I spent the intervening days in pain and trying to eat and drink water. This “alien” has played havoc with my digestive system and I’ve lost 15 pounds. Hellava way to get down to a weight I haven’t seen in almost 20 years. Anyway, I really like the new doc. He was very hopeful and thinks the mass might be too large to be cancer but won’t know for sure until after pathology tests are run. I’m scheduled for major surgery for this Thursday morning. He’s yanking out the mass and a bunch of “out-of-warranty” parts I don’t need at my age. Tests will be run on those parts and then we’ll see what the plan is. In the meantimes, I’m conserving what little energy I have, trying to get what sleep I can, enjoying the few pain-free moments.
I’ll be in hospital a couple of days and then mostly out of commission for 6-8 weeks. LG has been an absolute rock during all this stuff and I’m lucky to have him. Not sure when I’ll sit down at the computer again to write but I will try to check in as I can. Thank you all for sticking with me. Getting back to writing is a main goal because I don’t want to disappoint y’all–or my charachters. LOL Anyway, prayers and good thoughts appreciated. ❤
