Aftermath

Frankly, it is too soon to make any jokes about surgery. Everything is still in pain and I'm still in complete shock as to what came out of me.

7 pounds of cyst!

As in the size of a newborn infant. Thankfully my cyst/egg/infant-looking-thing was all benign. Now I have to heal my 6 inch scar and move on with my life.

Everything is really difficult: walking, coughing, breathing, speaking etc. Apparently you use your abdominal muscles for EVERYTHING. Makes me feel very sorry for anyone who has ever undergone C-section.

The craziest part of this whole thing was my surgeon actually took a picture of what came out of me. I hesitate to post it because it is so freakin' gross. If you are inclined to see what a cyst/baby/egg sized tumor thing looks like-- let me know and I'll send you a photo. But it's too much to post at the moment.

My goal for tonight is to sleep and keep food down. I am hoping life starts to be cool again soon.

Goliath-- your place in history is assured.
