Il Moro is of the yum. Only been there once, but it was very memorable.
Just back from the doc and it was as I suspected. Operation time. What follows is medical stuff:
There are three fibroids and the biggest one is growing toward my back, so it managed to elude detection until now. This explains the daily backaches. Unfortunately, it is big enough that having a cool laparascopic hysterectomy with its quick recovery time is not viable. I have to have a regular abdominal one, and he told me that means I have to spend three days in the hospital and take 4-6 weeks off work. 6 weeks? Really? That seems long.
As soon as they get authorization from my insurance we'll schedule the surgery. Good thing is that it is going to be at St. Joseph's, which is a very good hospital that is only 3/4 of a mile from my house. We walk the dog over there all the time. Nice that it's so close.
Oh, Robin. I'm sorry. {{{Robin}}}
Well, at least this gives me time to watch Season Two of The Wire, which my mom gave us for Christmas.
Robin, I'm glad you have your answer and things can happen quickly from here -- the recovery thing sucks, but aside from that, everyone I've known who's been through the same thing was very happy for the relief in the end.
Robin... Ick about the surgery and yeah, 6 weeks is probably what it will take. My BFF had the same procedure, for the same reason, you're having and she was down for the count for a good month and it took about 2 more weeks to get back to 100%. That said, she's so glad that she had it done just from a pain standpoint. For that alone she said the surgery was worth it.
The important thing is that Scrappy gets all patched up and healthy and pain-free.
We should probably inundate you with treats just so its clear that we love you we're concerned about you and don't want you to be bored.
What everybody else said, Robin. Sorry you can't have the easier procedure but it's good you have a course of action now and can get on the road to being free of the pain soon.
