Surgery Update

This morning we arrived at the hospital at 5:30.  Cathy was quickly moved to prep and had a gown on in no time.  We met with anesthesia and Dr. Bowling before Cathy got loopy from versed.  Cathy was in surgery by 7:30 and out a little after 9:00. 

Dr. Bowling said that everything went according to plan.  Her ovaries had slight adhesion to her uterus, so Dr. Bowling took a little of her uterine tissue along with the ovaries to make sure that all ovarian tissue was removed.  Her mysterious pains on her right side will remain a mystery.  Ever since her appendectomy she has had strange pains in the vicinity of the right ovary.  When her appendix went crazy it became fused to her ovary and a cyst and they all had to be separated when her appendix was removed.  Dr. Bowling saw nothing particularly strange in that area, so I guess we'll never know.

Cathy will stay overnight at Christ tonight and go home some time tomorrow.  She's still asleep.  I'll update again when she's talking.
