recovering from surgery

Jesse and I decided that after Eli was born that we weren't having any more kids. Monday morning I went in for surgery to have clamps put on my fallopian tubes. Everything went fine, no complications from the surgery, but the Dr. did find that I have endometriosis (a feminine disease that attacks the reproductive organs and can eventually cause you  to have to have a historectomy). I have 4 photo's showing that I have it, but it seems to be in the early stages. I've read that if it goes untreated it could eventually turn into cancer, but I'm trusting GOD to take care of me like HE always has.

My recovery is going pretty good. My throat was sore for 2 days because of the breathing tube, but it's fine now. My stomach on the other hand, (even with my meds) still hurts. Each day gets easier, but it's hard to take care of Eli. I'm been so blessed to have wonderful friends and a great mom to help take care of us. I don't know what I would have done with out them. Jesse came home from work yesterday morning and surprised me with a get well card and for a brief moment I didn't feel any pain. He can be so sweet when he wants to be lol. 

I'm looking forward to getting better soon because Summer is almost over and we've  promised the kids a trip to Lake Winnie all summer! I can not believe that school starts in 2 1/2 weeks, it seems like they just got out of school.
