Got a date for surgery

OK well I went to the GYN today to "discuss" my ultrasound....It was kinda funny because she walked in and was like well we found the cause of the pain....ok this is a large cyst and needs to come out ASAP. She did a lot of reassuring of me because they are going to TRY to do this laparoscopically but there is no guarantee since the cyst is so large (and to be prepared that I may go into surgery and wake up with an incision). It will be an outpatient procedure if they don't have to cut me open but if they do I will be in the hospital for a few days... the bad news is that because the cyst is as big as it is they cant see my ovary and they don't know if they are going to have to remove the ovary or not(my understanding was that part or most of it would be removed) (this is where all the reassuring came in) My doctor has told me that removing 1 ovary will not decrease my chance of having kids and that it wont change my cycle either..... this is when I asked her to fax the reports off to my primary doctor---the one that refused to order an ultrasound....she was more than happy to do that...

Surgery is set for December 17 with a mandatory 2 weeks off work and if they have to do an incision I will be off work for 6 weeks. This actually works well because I can finish my classes take my break and go back to classes. The best part is I asked Chuck (my brother) if I could "recover" at his house....they have a one story house with a spare bed room.....awesome couch.... 60" HD TV with HBO and I should be getting some good drugs......"RECOVERY" IS GOING TO BE AWESOME!!!!!
