Recovery Day

So I did not tell a lot of people this, but I had surgery yesterday! I had a vulvar mass removed {which is in my groin area-probably why I didn't tell anyone} and my Doctor removed it yesterday at Alta View Hospital. Today I am lying in bed recovering and getting through the pain of the stitches. Regan is so awesome-he took the kids on a picnic today! He looked so cute and funny wearing the baby bjorn with Ellie in it! He is a good dad!

Now back to the surgery; my Doctor is having the mass examined in a lab and so we will get the biopsy results next week to see if it is anything we need to be worried about or not. Basically, I felt a lump a while ago-actually when I was pregnant with Ellie is when I first felt it, but my Doctor told me it was an inflamed vein. Now that Ellie is 7 months and it was still there, I went to the Doctor a few weeks ago to have him examine it. He put me on an antibiotic to see if it would go down, but 10 days later, nothing happened. SO-he scheduled me for surgery and wanted to remove it, stitch it back up and then have it go in for a biopsy.

He told me no exercising for 2 weeks and I am totally bummed about that because I have been on a role with exercising! I am not going to lie though, I have been scared the last few days. I am trying to not think about it too much, but anytime you have some kind of mass or lump, you always think of cancer right? Well, I don't know what it is, and I am determined to freak out until I find out what it is. It's probably nothing, but I am still thinking worst case scenerio I guess.

Anyway, the few people who do know about it aka-my mom, dad & mother in law, and a couple of friends have been super supportive and great about this. Regan has been so great too-he stayed at the hospital all afternoon with me and has taken over with the kids at home. He is a great husband and I am grateful for him! Just thought I would blog about my life and what is going on. I am hoping for the best with the lab results and until then, trying to take it easy as best as I can so that the incision will heal well.
