I had the D&C surgery yesterday.   It was basically a vacuum procedure, there was no cutting involved.    It all went very well.   The staff was very nice and I felt confident in my doctor’s ability and the anesthesiologist’s as well.  I was asleep during the entire procedure, and I was very relieved just to have woken up.  My only worry going into surgery was not waking up.

The surgery went well, and I have not had any pain since a few hours after I woke up.  They gave me a prescription for some form of narcotics. But luckily I didn’t even need to fill it.

One weird thing is that I weighed myself this morning and am 6 pounds heavier than I was on Saturday morning.  My only guess is that they really pumped me full of fluids at the hospital.  I do seem a bit puffier.    I hope this extra fluid drops off soon because I had been happy that I hadn’t gained a pound during this entire ordeal.

I will say I have been very tired for the last few days.  My iron count was very low due to all the bleeding lately, and will take a few more days to get back to normal.    I still plan to run this weekend.  I might not be able to do as many miles as I want to do (eight!) but I should at least be able to run a 5k, I hope.
