Can you all belive after WAITING and PRAYING it is finnaly going to happen? Still a bit sureal to me.

My friend and I made it to Louiville late last night, only a few little hick-ups along the way, but God had everything worked out for us. Our hotel forgot to send someone to get us! BUT I knew our hotel had 2 names so as we were waiting for the shuttle to come a different one came up. I asked the driver (who was there to get someone else) if his hotel was with mine. It wasn't BUT he was with the hotel directly across the street from ours and he was happy to take us with him. PRAISE GOD for His perfect timming. We were pretty tired when we got to the hotel and both had little headaches from all the travel, but woke up this morning ready for the day. We walked all over the downtown area and did a little shopping. We are planning to go out for dinner in a couple hours


Surgery check in is at 6am tomorrow morning. I'm pretty excited, and not sure I will sleep much tonight. I'll post an update as soon as I am up to it after surgery tomorrow or the next day. Please be praying everything goes prefect and we can start TTC ASAP. Now for the Lord to keep working on DH's heart to be opened to being fully QF.

May peace flow like a river.. and your joy come in the morning

Amen to what Sombra wrote...

The joyful anticipation of what's to come! Prayers.

I just got back to the hotel about 30 min ago. Everything went really well. Dr. Levin and his assistant are both extreamly nice. I would recomend them to anyone in need of a TR.

I'm not really hurting as long as I don't move NOT looking forward to my 1st potty trip. My tubes are nice and long. I have 7cm on the right and 7.5 cm on the left. Anything over 6 is concidered good . I have a 6 week wait before I can start TTC, that will be no fun. Dr. Levin also was nice enough to clean up some of my scars from a previous surgery so it will look nicer down there. I look forward to beeing able to see how he did, but all the bandages have to stay on untill tomorrow morning so no peeking untill then. Even then I will have sterry strips on for another week.

Everyone kept comenting on how happy I looked. How could I not be? I am praising God for all He has done for me.
THANK YOU LORD!!!


And yes I am online because I have little
else to do then take a nap (I promise I will as soon as I get everyone updated).

How's the swelling/bleeding today? is it oozing out like the MD said it would? Are you still feeling energetic? or did it catch up with you? Hugs

Thanks for asking Sombra, I am doing pretty good still kinda swollen, but not as bad as it was. I am still slow getting up and down, but getting faster day by day. It has not oozed out like the Dr predicted. I am still really bruised and have not let any of my family see, it looks scary. Praise the Lord it does not feel like it looks. I really have not had too much discomfort since the 1st day and only took 2 Rx pills and 3 Aleve total. But sneezing really does hurt :( . The old scar that was from a drainage tube from a surgery when I was 12, nolonger resembels a little belly button, and is nice and flat instead :) . Dr. Levin said Everything looks nice and healthy on the inside, that he did what needed to be done and it all went really well. If I don't concive it is "someone at homes falt". He gave me at least an 85% chance of having a baby PTL!!!!

Glad to get the updates. Blessings to you for a rapid and full recovery. And also that you may be kept occupied to pass the 6 weeks waiting time. And I thought the two week wait was bad, haha.

I'm one week post-op now and feeling pretty good. Still have a small amount of swelling, but nothing bad. This evening I get to take a nice lang warm bath to soak and remove my steri-strips. DH is still concinved I will pop like a balloon if I do anything, so I am not doing much at all. Just 5 more weeks untill I can get back to DTD ;) .

[Sombra]

Be prepared that when it's time to DTD, that you don't go at it like horse at the race track, but take time to be gentle. you may not remember, but even after a baby, it is still sensitive down there, it takes time (months sometimes) to heal all the achy corners..

Tell us more about this "little bellybutton" scar you keep mentioning.. it's from a previous surgery.. but what happened? why didn't it heal properly? (just me being nosey - and taking your mind off the next 5 weeks)
