The surgery is over, and aside from waking up majorly confused and not knowing where I was for a short time, all went well. I’m in pain, but that is what happens when you get an organ removed. I have pills. They give me small windows of relief. I do have to say, the missing organ pain and the gas in my back and shoulder pain is a walk in the park compared to my c-section recovery.  I hope that I won’t strain myself and make my recovery longer. I have a tendency to do that. I’m going to try very hard to just rest all day tomorrow.

James is rolling over. So exciting! Ada is getting cuter everyday, plus she is tons of fun to play with. I couldn’t sleep the other night, so I was lying in bed thinking. If somebody gave me the opportunity to pop back into my childhood and give it another try–getting to keep the knowledge and lessons I have learned so far–this is the first time in my life that I wouldn’t take it. That, I concluded, is true happiness. I don’t want to risk that small chance that even if I tried, I wouldn’t end up with Mac, Ada and James.
