Update on Suzette

No picture for yeah. I haven't done my hair today so no picture. So I am home and resting. To catch everyone up I have been having some female issues for about 6 weeks that was not getting any better with medical treatment. Before i had children I suffered for years with the same thing but was able to control it somewhat better. My hemaglobin was dropping and the doctor and I decided that a hysterectomy would be the best. We were surprised at how fast the doctor moved. Last Monday it was discussed as a possibility and then Tuesday afternoon it was determined that I was going to have the surgery Wednesday morning. So things moved very fast. So, I had a total abdominal hysterectomy. I still have my ovaries. I am very glad that I've done it and it is over with. I came home Friday. Went to church Sunday morning for worship service. Just sat there and soaked in the music and the message. Talked to friends. Have been very , very tired. From what the doctor told me things were much worse than they thought when they got in there and I lost a lot of blood and came very close to a blood transfusion. Praise God for HIS touch. Lots of details I won't share. I am sore, get weak and tired very quickly. I forget what happens from day to day sometimes. Still desire your prayers, especially for strength. Dave has his hands full. i can not do anything for 2 weeks which includes no driving or lifting anything heavier than a gallon of milk, no cooking, cleaning, nothing. I am a couch potato by doctors orders. I can get up and walk around but other than that i am not doing much. I will be off work for about 4-6 weeks at this point.
