I’m having laparoscopic abdominal surgery this coming Tuesday morning. I’d say it’s exploratory, but it’s not. My surgeon knows where to go, what to look for, and what to fix, so hopefully it’ll be a quick-in, quick-out kind of deal. But hopefully not too quick, if you know what I mean – one thing you never want is a surgeon who’s in a hurry.
Fortunately, or unfortunately – depending on how you look at it, Alyssa is somewhat accustomed to me going off for surgery, coming home 1-2 days later, and being laid up for several days, sleeping a lot, taking pain medication, and in general trying to stay as comfortable and pain-free as possible while I recover. Ryan has never really said much to me, though he will ask if my belly hurts, and his therapist relays that at school he’ll talk about Mommy being sick and in pain.
Here’s to hoping that this is the last surgery I need to have!
