Endometrial Ablation

Okay, so here it is 5 am and I should be working....don't tell...but I can't. I am going in today for an endrometrial ablation at 9:45 am. It is an alternative to a hysterectomy without cutting you open and removing your female organs. Basically they go in and burn your uterus lining with radio frequency and then remove it. I have had a problem with endometriosis for about 15 years now. I have had several laparoscopies, where they burn the endometriosis off, but it always comes back and continues to grow. This procedure, at least on me, my doctor believes we will have to do it at least twice because of the endometriosis and possible fibroids. Lately I have been having so many problems including losing so much blood and taking percocet for my cramping that it has led to this. Also since we are done having kids she is going to do another alternative to tying my tubes so I won't have to worry about getting pregnant, which will never happen I'm sure, but I guess we can't be too certain...it has happened twice. I am really excited...but oh, so scared for the needle for the anesthesia. Yes, it is true....I am a wimp. However, I am trying to focus on the positives: little to no cramping, eventually no periods, and being able to lay down and rest while Blake takes care of the kids and the house. Yes, I am really glad I am having it done.
