Revision surgery scheduled!

Sep 15, 2014

After several months I finally got my iron deficiency anemia stabilized! After female stuff including a D&C... I did find out that I have pre-cancerous cells-- simple hyperplasia without atypia.  So I will be starting a hormone therapy.  

But.... I  got the call from my surgeons office... I am scheduled for my revision October 7th!!! YAY!

~~ On a sad note... My mom went in august 13th for surgery to remove a pancoast tumor from her upper right lung.  Surgery went very well.. she was doing good, set to come home about a week after the surgery... then.. something happened... breathing, sick, afib, they put in a breathing tube, tube fed her... she went down hill :(  They had her heavily sedated for agitation purposes.. took out the tube and tried her on her own.... wasn't happening.. so they re-intubated her... but, unbeknownst to us... several days later they took her off the sedation and she was not responding... sunday morning, august 31st they gave her a catscan and realized she had a massive stroke..(they believe happened during the time of re-intubation)  it destroyed both sides of her brain.. only thing left functioning was the brain stem which was controlling her breathing... we (my brother, sister and I) made the hardest decision of our lives and decided to take her off the vent and feeding tube.. put her in hospice and at 6:01 that evening my mom passed away.. joining my father... (who passed away October 29, 2012)

Getting the revision was a promise that I made both my parents.. I plan on keeping my promise of becoming healthier!!
