Time goes by....way too fast!

I'm still here! Surgery is only a few short days away and I'm a little nervous. I think because I don't want to deal with the pain and recovery but I guess there is no way around it. I've got next week all planned out with help from my mom and neighbor so all should be good. Just need to get through surgery and the first few days of recovery.

I'm really hoping that this surgery is going to help me feel a lot better in many ways.

Acupuncture has been going well - I'm looking forward to a few more visits after I'm able to get around and back to driving.

My treatment for FMS/CFS has been going really well and I'm feeling really good - aside from still dealing with extra fatigue. I'm hoping that resolving this fibroid issue will help me with my fatigue. In some way at least. My acupuncturist thinks it will as I have some stagnated blood in my abdomen area according to him which would make sense with this fibroid. So we'll see - he is pretty certain I will find some extra energy once I'm all healed and back to normal routine.

I really hope this surgery doesn't send me into any kind of flare up....I have been enjoying my lack of pain in my hips so hopefully being in bed for several days won't cause me to have that to deal with in addition to my incision pain. I'm going to have to make an extra effort to get out of bed a few times a day just to make sure I'm moving a little.

I haven't really had a lot to report, everything is pretty much the same with me which can be a good thing in terms of how I feel. I am really looking forward to moving forward after this surgery and continuing to feel better and get back to myself. I should be done with my treatments shortly after the new year. I think though that I'll need to have monthly maintenance adjustments to keep me on the right track.

I'll check in next week after my surgery and let you know how I'm doing - until then, stay well!
