The Wedding Month

The second surgery had been a success and I was staring to feel a little better. It was only a little over a month till my wedding and there was some last minute things we had to do. With just having surgery I was very limited to what I could do. I was not allowed to lift or bend for about two weeks. With the wedding drawing near I of course was worried about how my dress was going to fit. I was actually kind of freaking out a bit. My stomach was still really bloated and I felt awful!! I thought for sure that the second surgery was my last but I was wrong. After another late night trip to the ER, they discovered that I had a rather large cyst on my right ovary. I was in agonizing pain and had severe nausea. We contacted Dr. Sinervo about it and he sent for the ER reports and said he would let us know what to do after he reviewed everything. I was waiting on pins and needles and was so uncertain about what was going to happen. With three weeks before my big wedding day the doctor told me that I really needed to have my right ovary and tube out. I was so confused and did not know what to do. I immediately called my fiance and began telling him the news. I was so upset and crying that he could hardly understand me. The doctor said it was a big thing to consider especially with me being so young. He did advise us to think it over and pray about it. My first thought was children. I was so upset and worried that with the ovary gone it would be extremely hard to have children. This devastated me. Dr. Sinervo went over everything and told me that of course it would be a lot easier with both that it was still possible with one. My right ovary was pretty much shot and doing nothing more than causing me pain. After a lot of prayer and talking it over with my fiance (now my husband) we came to the conclusion that it was what was best for me. It was a extremely emotional time full of all kinds of uncertainty. We made the trip and arrived the day before my surgery. The doctor did another ultrasound and saw that the same cyst was still there and had been there for a little over a month. As the time came for the surgery, all of the steps were repeated. His team were asking me all kinds of questions about the wedding and about Justin. They were extremely sweet and compassionate. They promised me that I would be fine and that they would take good care of me during the surgery. As they were about to put me to sleep, they all gathered around and Dr. Sinervo prayed again and held my hand. On the other side of me was a nurse who also held my hand and rubbed my arm while smiling all the time. I completely felt at peace and knew that I was in the best of hands. I slowly began to count back from ten and only made it to eight and then I was out. I remember waking up in recovery not near as shaky as before and the sweetest nurse was by my side holding my hand. As I was coming to she began to ask me questions about how Justin proposed to me. She was in awe of the sweet, romantic proposal and was hanging on my every word. All she could say was," The Lord gave you a good one and I can tell you are so in love". I began to smile and give her more details about it and the wedding and she could not believe how beautiful it was going to be. As I started to become more alert, they moved me once again to a regular room for the night. All I could think about was seeing Jus and hugging him. The two nurses that moved me to my room were both very sweet and they too wanted all the proposal details :) They finished up with me and was saying goodbye when my eyes landed on my sweetheart. He came over to the side of my bed, bent down, and gave me a sweet kiss on the forehead. It was the most sweetest kiss ever and I threw my arms around him (more like in slow motion of course) and hugged and hugged on him. The next morning I went back to the hotel where I rested for another night before heading home. It was the last goodbye I had to say to my fiance because in just a week and half I was going to marry my best friend. It was a hard goodbye but it was a little easier knowing that I was going to see him the following week. I thank the Lord for Dr. Sinervo and all his staff. I was so taken back by all the kindness that was shown to me and my family. This surgery was my third surgery in under a year and only about three  weeks before my wedding day. It was a very stressful and long process but I was so thankful that the surgeries were finally over!!:)
