hi everyone just update on somethings going on

Hi everyone, how is everyone doing?

Dh is doing good at police acadamy , he is passing everything with flying colors. his grade point is at the top of the class( actully were told it may be the highest in acadamy at this point)

Dallas had surgery a few weeks ago, nothing real serious and he is h\doing great!!

He is answering more questions everyday and walking almost perfect now. He is growing so fast and getting so big! i'll have to post pics soon of his birthday party ( he just turned 8 gasp)

Andrianna is doing great and the same beautiful little girl she always has been. She is having a little trouble adjusting since we moved but shes getting there. she is 10 now and everyday she gets more beautiful


As far as me. If you remember I had two masses that grew in my belly that I had to have removed less then two years ago.

Unfortunally it has returned on the other side of my lower belly and I have to have surgery the 18th of next month to remove the masses. it's a majior surgery and I am scared. They will be removing my overies as well and I can not be put on hormones because of health issues. My cervix was removed in my early 20's so now they will remove my overies, while they already have me opened up.

I will be in hospital for a few days and will take 6 to 8 weeks to heal.

Ive had a number of surgeries before ( as some of you know) and because i have lupus I just dont heal the same way as others. Last time I had the masses removed I got very ill and it was a really hard recovery.

They are going to have two surgeons work on me instead of one and there will be a big team of people this time . My surgeons are twins! how neat is that? I love my surgeons and they are really nice.

right now they have me comfortable on pain medication and were just waiting for the surgery date. The wanted to do this sooner but I had noone to help with the kids since DH is away at school . When Andrianna gets out of school my family will beable to help. But then we had a problem getting a date where both surgeons can do it so it was set for the 18th of next month

DH will graduate from acadamy on the 29th of next month. The surgeons dont think i'll be up for the trip to go but i am going no matter what.( its only 2 hour drive and i wont be the one driving ) My family Dr is getting writting me a script for a wheelchair for when I go and sending me with paperwork and such incase anything happens.



I don't mind saying i am very scared, I know God will take care of me however. But I am still scared.

I miss you all sooooooo much and wish I was going to cancun this year. I cant wait to get back there.

how is everyone elese doing? Steve how is the baby? how is everyone elese children? I bet getting big!

 

You will be ok and we will all be here praying for you!!

 

Hi Catrina. Lots going on for you, huh? :shock:

Look ahead and try to think about it this way...all those particular major milestones in your life will have been passed by the end of June. I've got work-related stress and a very busy time at home with a three-some, and I am challenged on a daily basis to look ahead and remind myself that some things will inevitably pass. I hope your surgery goes off without a hitch...and kudos to Dallas!

 

well Jason and Michael stole my thunder...lol, j/k

You will be fine. And like they said, we'll be praying for ya

 

good luck hun!

 

thanks everyone. I am just nervous. Just want to have no more surgeries. ive had enough in my life!

the last surgery went so badly so I am worried because this one is more serious. I'll be opened up more and a lot more wider and deeper going all the way threw my muscle walls and some removed. this could not happen at a worse time with Dh in school.

His mom is going to come and stay with me while in hospital and i am so scared of being moody( with no hormones) The dr said this will be hard. ( the no hormone part)

I did just get a call from the surgeon and insurance approved my surgery ( bet insurance hates me!) i pay my copays and everything elese is covered 100% which makes me feel better! now we just have to pay copays which is bad enough!

Dh will beable to be there the day of surgery but then has to leave same day. Ugh i am worried about going threw this without him


Michael i am so sorry your having stress also! we need to met up in cancun for drinks one day.

I am so sorry ive not been around and so sorry i have slipped on my contest i was running. i just got so much going on.

 

The best of luck to you. I will be thinking of you

 

You will be in my thoughts :!:

 

Catrina,
You're a strong woman and I'm sure that you'll be fine. How many people have Cat 5 hurricanes named after them? Best wishes. Keep us informed.

I'll keep you in my thoughts! I had one ovary removed less than a year ago. That was painful enough. I wish you all the best and hope that in the end you will feel much better. Good luck- be well!
