Just took the endometriosis out - they did not remove anything that belonged. Although she would have been happy if they gave her a hysterectomy.
They are going to be doing some hormone therapy as a follow-up. I believe this means she will be going through another chemically induced temporary menopause. I remember the last one (which wasn't as bad as I was worried it would be). While most women get hot-flashes when on menopause, Susan tends to run cold anyways, so all she had was "not cold" flashes.

Especially since they instructed that she get a week of "pelvic rest" - that term cracked me up.

Yeah, I don't know. I woke up Monday morning with really bad dizziness - so bad that I thought I was going to hurl (the room actually turned upside-down). I was dizzy off and on for the rest of the day and then I got hit with another bad bout of it last night - I remember I turned/twisted in bed to set the alarm for 5:00 (we had to be at the hospital at 6:00 this morning) and that was when it happened. It seemed to help that I slept propped up a little last night.
I've had some dizziness off and on today as well. I called and made an appointment with my doc for Thursday. I suspect an inner ear infection as Susan doesn't usually smack me when I need to take her to the hospital - she usually waits until she doesn't need anything from me.
