Last night, I got my plans finalized for my surgery in Atlanta with Dr
Sinervo and so many things are running through my head...
My boyfriend Matthew and I will be leaving August 10th via Greyhound
and arriving in Atlanta the morning of the 11th.
We will take a MARTA to
the Center for Endometriosis Care to meet with Dr Sinervo at 1pm. Than I
will meet with Anesthesia at 3pm at Northside hospital.
On the 11th, I
am on a pure liquid diet, and I will have to do a bowel prep (yuck) but
it is apart of the surgery prep.
My surgery will take
place the morning of the 12th at 7:15am, which means we have to be at
Northside Hospital for 5:15am.
We have a hotel, at the Microtel Inn and
Suites from the 11th until the 14th. From the 14th to the 16th, we will
be staying with a family friend of mine who I consider a second mother,
and then we will be returning via Greyhound, leaving on the 16th and
arriving in downtown Cleveland the 17th.
Last night, I also realized
just how nervous I am about my surgery. So many things going through my
mind.
Because of my nerves lately, I have unequivocally become more
anxious and moody. I was able to finally express to my boyfriend last
night all of my fears and told him just how scared out of my mind I am.
Things like: What if they find nothing? Than no answers for my
excruciating pain. OR What if they find a lot, than my hopes of children
in the future is destroyed. OR what if the worse happens, and I bleed
out, or I develop a blood clot in my leg that travels to my lungs again
ect. ect.
Its been a painfully long journey with endometriosis, and so I
have several thoughts running through my mind...
