I had my surgery and all went well. I will copy and paste what I posted on SheKnows:
There are three stages of AS. Mild, moderate, and severe. I have severe. 90-95%
of my uterus was scarred. He was able to remove it all, but he said (and I'm
using his terms here) that the top and bottom of my uterus are now "raw" and
that there will be "oozing." So, I go back in a week and a half for an in-office
hysteroscopy. He'll go in a break up the "ooz" so to speak. Then, I don't think
he'll do anything more until after the initial 60 days of hormone therapy is
done.
God has really given me a sense of peace. I do fret at times about it,
but I have to remind myself (actually one of my best friends who is an AWESOME
Christian reminded me) that I just need to nail it to the cross and leave it
there. God has it in his hands. So, when I begin to worry, I just look at the
cross and see it hanging there and I feel peace again. God is so good!
So, I went back in on the Monday after Thanksgiving so he could break up the ooz. When he got in, he said that there was no oozing, but that the top of my uterus had re-scarred a bit. The bottom and middle look great though and there is even some endometrium growing! WooHoo! My tubal openings are blocked due to scaring as of now. He wants to see how the rest of my uterus is going to do before attempting to remove that scar tissue to reveal the openings. He mentioned IVF if he's not able to open the tubes, but that's not an option due to money. I'm not too concerned though because I know God has a plan for me and my womb. If He wants me to have another child, He'll get those tubes cleared one way or another!
I have a feeling that my faith will be tested through this whole ordeal, but I've nailed it to the cross, so I have faith in myself that I will remain strong in Christ. He is, after all, the greatest of Healers.
God bless you all for following my story. I await the day that this will no longer define my every action, and I will be holding a child in my arms.
Much Love,
Tami
PS. I'll try to update more regularly, on every part of my life so that this doesn't define my every action!
