For all those curious;

I was bleeding for 3 weeks so I went to the Dr. on Mon. @ 3pm

to see if there was something going on,

after a painful exam, they did a sonogram and a found a gestational sac in my right Fallopian tube.

The Dr. had me do a blood test to see if I was really pregnant and if it was positive then we would proceed.

On Tuesday, the pregnancy test came back postitive and the Dr. said I had 2 options;

1- A chemotherapy drug that would prevent the cells from dividing. I would then have to go into the office every 2 days to make sure my blood level of HGH were going down and not up.

2- Surgery to take out the gestational sac before it ruptured my fallopian tube.

I chose the Surgery despite being terrified.

We went to the hospital on Wed. morning about 11am and waited till 2:30pm.

I was very nervous but Bruce was so great about hugging me and talking to me.

We said many, many prayers. I got 2 blessings and I am so grateful for everyone's prayers.

They rolled me out of the room and then I remember waking up in pain.

My nurse was mad at me because I wanted so badly to see Bruce and I wouldn't let him finish his paperwork. But he was a good nurse, did everything I asked.

After a couple hours drifting in and out of sleep, they finally wheeled me back to the same room where I had waited with Bruce for a few hours.

Somebody (don't remember) got me dressed and we went home.

I felt pretty crappy all day, mostly drowsy but the night wasn't too good.

I guess they pump your stomach full of Co2 gas to see better into your abdomen, but they don't take the gas out.

Instead it goes into your body and hurts and aches all over. It actually hurts to breathe.

So I am eating & drinking normally, even walking slowly. I am sore and achy all over but some wonderful sisters from church have been so kind to help by bringing food and watching the kids.

I am so grateful that God spared me because I know that He was pushing me to go to the Dr. ,

they found the sac in time and that I was able to get into surgery so soon.

The Dr. said that the sac was bigger than he expected and he had to cut out a piece of my tube and consequently, my right Fallopian will no longer be functional.

That means to me that God truly blessed me because it could have ruptured if we had waited any longer and I could have bled to death.

So needless to say, I am so grateful to be typing this instead of ........

you know.

Anyway, I want to thank everyone for the postive thoughts and prayers.

I love you all and hope to return the prayer blessing someday.
