Post op

I'm good! All organs in there are clear and healing nicely. I can exercise and do what I want. My basic rule is: if it hurts, back off and don't do it. Got it! My energy level has been pretty good during the day (without working), I just fall asleep on the couch about 8:30. The doctor said Monday is fine to go back, so I'm going for it!

She asked about menopausal side effects, have I had any? I said no, but it was mentioned to me that they may not set in for 3-4 weeks. She said sometimes yes, but if I was to have really serious intense issues that it would have happened by now. Side effects still possibly out there, but they should be more mild. Wheeee!!

I did bloodwork yesterday also. They want some baseline info to compare to. They will do a tumor marker test to get some numbers, and some other stuff (liver function?). In November we will do more bloodwork and see where the numbers are. Hopefully the numbers are dropping!!! Until then I'm going for normal life.
