Wow LONG time!

So I think the last time I posted was at Thanksgiving! Yikes! It seems as though nothing has happened since then but it actually has.
Christmas was wonderful. I was spoiled by all my loved ones. I started fertility treatments in December. But now I am off of them.
This month I had a right side oothenectomy. Because of two endomtrium masses, one the diameter of a quarter the other the size of a large egg, on my right ovary so I had my ovary removed. Happily they were able to keep my right tube as well as the rest of my reproductive organs. More than likely in the future if things act up again I will have a full hysterectomy. As of now though the doctor said they looked pretty good. We haven't decided if we want to continue in fertility treatments. It's not impossible to get pregnant with only one ovary but it presents a few challenges. We've had a lot of talks with each other about "heart babies and belly babies." Someone once used that phrase around me and I really liked it. Either way a child comes into your life and become part of you. It's really a sweet thought to me.
Casey and I started foster parenting classes before all this. We had made it to one class and the next day found out from my doctor I has having surgery. We plan on taking up the classes again in May.
Casey is back into school full time again this semester. I'm grateful I didn't sign up for any classes because I would be missing them right now and that would really stink.
Hmmmmm.... What else is new? I've started fixing up my kitchen with new curtains and shelves and what not. Really trying to settle in.
I'm very loopy right now because of the pain meds. Today has been rough. I know tomorrow will be difficult too but at least this pain has a purpose. It means I'm healing from surgery rather than my body is falling apart as it seems to keep doing. 4 surgeries in 3 years....YIKES! I am very ready to not have another one for a long time.
Well I'm off to bed. Sorry for the long overdue update. But here it is. I will try ot be better in the future! :)
