Cysts Be Gone

I am very happy and relieved to report that my two giant cysts have been drained and we are on our way to the embryo transfer set for October 2nd! We decided to make a family trip out of this whole ordeal since we had to return to Detroit for the surgery. The girls made it through their longest road trip yet (16 hours) on Saturday when we arrived at Shaun's parents house in the Chicago suburbs.
We had a fun couple of days there before setting off again, just the two of us, to Detroit. We camped one night at a state park on Lake Erie, which was fun, but SO hot and humid. I am not used to that humidity being from Colorado for the past 6 years!

Yesterday was my surgery, it was a long day of waiting around because I didn't have to check in until 12:30, and surgery wasn't until 2:30. But, we made it. I was surprised to find out that I would be going under full blown general anesthesia, but I knew from December that anesthesia shouldn't be a problem so that set me at ease a little bit more.

Once I woke up and the anesthesia wore off, I was pleased to discover that I wasn't in any pain at all. And happily, this morning I feel the same way, as if I had never even had surgery. And I haven't taken anything for pain. So, all in all I am so glad we went this route. If I had gotten my cysts taken care of in Colorado Springs the doctors there all required me to have another laprascopic surgery which would have put me in 2 weeks of pain, unable to hold or carry my girls.
