#Hysterectomy update…
✌Went in for my second opinion last Saturday and the new doctor is a million times better than the first. She had the same recommendation: hysterectomy, but she spent about an hour with me explaining why, and doing another exam & ultrasound to make sure she knew what was going on.
✂️ Because I have several complications, she was leaning towards having to do the abdominal incision (instead of laparoscopic surgery), and she had me come back yesterday for a biopsy (not fun) to make sure there are no signs of cancer.
After the procedure yesterday she feels more confident that laparoscopy will be possible & that the results will be benign. But the actual pathology report comes back on Sat.
Until then: no lifting, no competing, try to rest & recover from the biopsy and all the stress.
I kinda lost my 💩 during training this past Monday when it all hit me (swipe to see that look). But I’m slowly starting to get my brain around it.
➡️ Surgery sucks, but this is a relatively common one, and I feel much more confident & supported by this doctor.
➡️ Missing this meet sucks, but it’s just one, there will be more.
➡️ Time off lifting sucks, but I’m grateful this was caught now before it got any worse.
One day at a time!
