April 4th, my first D&C (Dilation and curettage) I was to arrive at the hospital at 6am for my surgery. I was nervous, this is the first time in my adult life that I will be going under anesthesia. After the rounds of various doctors and nurses coming in and out of my room, taking blood, preparing me for surgery. I was finally taken to the OR. It's a cold long ride to the OR, once I arrived in there I was to move over to the operating table. This is not the easiest task in the world when your only wearing a hospital gown and the table is extremely small with weird opening all over it. No to mention a room full of people and your not trying to show off everything granted there all gonna see it anyway once you pass out. But at least I'm not awake for that. After getting situated on the table all the tubes going all over the place. And now starting to get put in the position which they want me during the surgery. Dr. Kamelle was now in the room, I could hear his voice and felt him touch my foot. It helped my nerves calm down a lot. They put the mask on my face told me to take big deep breaths and the next thing I remember is waking up on the other bed that was going to take me to the recovery room. I was in the recovery room for for about an hour. I was taken back to the same day surgery room, was in there for about another 3 hours before I could go home. After that it was home to recover. I was out of work for 4 days total. Went back to work that Friday.
About a week later or so later I was told that I have per-cancerous cells. My official diagnosis was Complex Endometrial hyperplasia with atypia. I was going to be watched very carefully and be put on medication to control the growth of the lining of the uterus and the bleeding.
