View Full Version : I'm back! My surgery Wed Feb 13th

The saga of the lumpy ovaries.
I’m usually the one offering to others and find myself asking this time—strange for me.
Please send your positive thoughts, prayers and energy as my medical team, family and I face the day this Wednesday, Feb 13th. I am having surgery for growths on both of my ovaries that were incidentally discovered when I went for an MRI in December for complaints I have been dealing with my hips. Thankfully they were discovered what I hope to think is early. Ultrasound report reads suspicious for malignancy on my left ovary.
I’ll check back soon. Keep the home fires burning, I’ll be looking for a cozy place to stay.

I know what a worrier I am, so I wanted to make sure people were updated, hope I'm not speaking out of turn.
I don't haev a lot of details, as Ted was exhausted when he relayed teh message, but here's teh jist of what I know.
1. Cancer was not found!
2. Unfortunately, they had to do more than hoped and surgery was harder and longer than hoped.
So, she'll probably take a bit longer to recover, but we all know she will come through this and be hitting the TM ASAP.
Many prayers of thanks that there was no cancer and continued prayers for an easy as possible recovery. :grouphug:

Cruella de mom
02-14-2008, 08:00 AM
Lily -
I was thrilled to hear that you don't have to worry about cancer. Although it sounds as if the surgery was tougher than you expected it to be, which probably means the recovery won't be as easy as you hoped.
Remember to take things one day at a time. Don't be surprised if even the simplest tasks exhaust you at first. You will recover, but it always takes longer than you want it to take.
My Doctor gave me great advice. He said that come about day 3, I was going to want to get up and do something - anything. Probably something I shouldn't do yet. His suggestion was to wait until my pain killer wore off and then get up. Don't take the pain killer until you cry mercy and acknowledge that you must sit back down. He was afraid that if I moved around on the pain killers, that I would over do it. The first time I did this, I was up long enough to take a shower. The next day, I dried my hair too.
Get well soon.

Hello everyone- my first post.
By the title you can probably guess I am the DH of Tiger Lily. Here is the scoop on her surgery.
Wednesday was a long day. Got to the hospital just after 11:00am. She went into the pre-op section. I waited a long time before I got called in. Reason why-no beds. She sat in their waiting area until a bed was available.
Finally got in to wait with her. There was a visit from the happy feel good lady and then at the stroke of 1:00 pm the doctor appeared and discussed again what was going to happen. A few minutes later it was time to go. I said good bye and then the wait.
Around 1:30 pm got a call from the OR nurse saying they couldn't do what they wanted because it was too big. They are now starting the big surgery. (Now I'm shook-up.... is it the Big C)
A little after 3:00 pm the doctor came out to talk with me. The first words were it was not cancer. Tears came to my eyes. I have my Lily for 30 more years. He went on to explain what was next in the plans and to just wait until someone calls me. He is going to try to get her up in the maternity ward. The key word is WAIT!
Everyone was gone from the waiting room but one other family. The phone rang and it was the post-op nurse telling me she is sleeping and will be taken later to a room. She gave me a room number but I didn't know where it was. We'll call you.
Around 5:30 pm I got another call to head up to the 3rd floor and wait outside. She will be passing the waiting area. Went to the 3rd floor and it was the maternity floor. Waitied in the lobby as instructed. Finally she came by me. Got a quick kiss in and then WAIT.
Finally someone came out to get me. There she was-all doped up and groggy and hurting. I sat and just looked at her as she went in and out of sleep. She got to have a cup of ice, some cranberry juice and a little jello. That was it. I told her not to fight the sleep because I was there. Got the phone and TV set up. Finally I told her I was going so she could rest.
The next day (Thursday) wasn't as bad as she thought it would be but she still hurt and was still groggy. She didn't have an appetite but tried to eat. Hospital food just doesn't match home cooking.
The doctor came in and checked her. All looked good. Mentioned that she might go home on Friday. She was up an out of the bed a few times and was able to use the bathroom. Even took a little walk in the halls.
Friday came along and the doctor showed up. He finally told her that when he first saw inside her with the scope, it didn't look good so he did the big cut. The biopsy took him by suprise. He gave us the going hme speech and away we went after the nurses did their thing. Friday evening was just resting.
Saturday was just rest.
Well here we are and it's Sunday. She's in and out of the bed, taking short house walks and resting. She thanks everyone for their thoughts and prayers and she said that she could really feel the good vibes from all of her DIS friends.
She thinks she will be able to get bak online in a day or two. She sends her greatful thanks to everyone. So do I.

Thank you so much for keeping us up to date. It's amazing that with everything going on you find time to come and post on here and we're so thankful for that! I hope you're passing on all of our good thoughts and am so sorry it was such a long and scary day for you both. It sounds like such a positive outcome, but i'm sure that doesn't make her in any less pain right now!
You will both remain in my thoughts until we hear lily's back and bouncing around again (not too soon tho, or else!!!!). Look after her and put disney films on loop :rotfl:

Lily: I am sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery. Take good care of yourself.
You've always been so encouraging to everyone on this board. I know there were times during my attempts to do the 1/2 marathon in 2005 and 2006 that I felt like throwing in the towel, but your encouragement kept me going. I didn't finish in 2005 (closed out at the back gate of MK) and I was too chicken to try in 2006, but you were so encouraging that we continue posting AS A GROUP. Now, as a group, we're sending you all our best.

Just read Ted's update and THANKS TED!!!! And see that Carrie and Heather have heard from Lily and then there she was....
LILY!!!! I'm so sorry you are hurting and hope that goes away soon. WISHing YOU a speedy recovery. I'm so happy to see you up and about online for a quick visit. WISH I could give you a big gentle hug.
Take care and you and Ted just relax and like someone else suggested watch and rewatch some good ol' Disney movies :) It's cold out, stay in and get the rest you need.
Bill! LOL Actually the guys haven't been too bad. They've been pretty good and my guess is they were worried about you and didn't have thoughts to spare to mischief.
YAY Lily!!! Feel better! :hug:
