My right leg has been continuously swollen the past week, and my hysterectomy/ removal of uterus and large fibroid is coming up on Friday September 11th.
It makes me angry that after so much progress straightening up my sugar and two months of concise exercising this will have to halt. The operation is basically a C-section, so... it will require 2 months of nothing strong. I hope to start air walking on week 4. But rowing will have to wait beyond that, I'll have to ask the doctor when it will be prudent for that.
I am very anxious and scared. I have never felt like this... not even with the pregnancies and past C-sections. I know the experience at the NJ hospital had much to do with it... And how bad it all had been for my mother also accounts for fear (she had something similar, but she also had cancer...).
So far I have no cancer, the fibroid is just a big head that is leeching away and removing the uterus will prevent regrowth... thus, the alien chronicles should be over... They aim at keeping the ovaries so I wont need pills, but it all depends on what they find when opening me.
My concern is how long it will take to move... And if it will really help aleviate my right leg/foot problem. It seems the fibroid has been pinching a nerve, I think it's affecting the sciatica and that's why the right leg is effed-up. The top of my foot is always swollen and in pain. We will cross that river when we get there...
