So if ya'll haven't heard I had surgery. It wasn't a huge inpatient surgery but I have been down on my butt for 1 week and this week I just can't seem to get back to normal. My mind tells me I'm fine, but my body tells me I need to take it easy. If ya'll haven't heard a bout what happened here it is. So I had a pain on my right side that just wouldn't go away. I went over to the ultrasound department and got a ultrasound. They found a cyst on my right ovary that was 3.2 cm.(NOT BAD, Coulld be worse) I figured I would keep an eye on it and if it got bigger I would get an appointment. So four days later I went back and got another ultrasound and it had grown to 5.5 cm. Well, I decided to get an appointment. I went to my appointment and it had got even bigger. The doctor said that if it continued to get bigger it could turn the fallopian tube and cut off the circulation to my ovary. (YIKES). He said that because it was this big it would not go away on its own. He told me that I wasn't ovulating at all and would not be able to have kids until I got it out. He told me there was a chance I could lose my ovary. So I scheduled surgery for 10/21/2008. Everything went great!! I kept my ovary and he took out the cyst. He found a bunch of endometriosis that he burned off as well, so hopefully we have solved the problem.
Well that is the scoop on my surgery. Hopefully everything is working well and normal now.

Small world...I just had the same surgery yesterday! I had a cyst in my right ovary and they had to cut me open and take it out. Luckily I only had to stay 1 night at the hospital. Hope you get feeling better soon!
Sorry about your surgery, but glad you found it and everything worked out so well. Keep us updated.
