Phase 2

In the morning I'll have surgery again. This time to prevent possible development of cancer down the road. The BRCA1 gene makes me more susceptible to developing ovarian cancer than the average person. Because science has yet to develop a reliable test I'm opting to remove my ovaries and uterus in an effort to mitigate the risk.

My surgery is expected to take about three hours. I'm having a laproscopic assisted hysterectomy and I expect to hospitalized one night.

I had lunch will Kelly and Marion today, finished and assignment for my course, did some laundry, picked up a few groceries and I'm making a turkey for supper (so we'll have leftovers for a few days). I should be vacuuming the house as well...but I've run out of energy.

We attended a funeral for Rob's uncle Ken this week. All of his aunts were fussing over me and wishing me the best of luck for tomorrow. Hey, anything I can do to distract them from the loss of their brother.

Rob will update my blog, just as he did when I had my last surgery. I'll try to get on by the weekend, but no promises.
