Exchange Surgery and Oophorectomy

Yesterday was my exchange surgery and salpingo-oophorectomy! I feel fine and am managing pain with over the counter medicine (Tylenol and Ibprofun). The most pain is getting up from bed and when I laugh. But I was able to go for two long walks and get over 10,000 steps already today, so I'm pleasantly surprised.

The surgery was fairly uneventful. The most annoying part was trying to find a vein - my "good vein" arm is off limits due to lymph node removal. So I got repoked in all these places that were bruised from my last unsuccessful blood draw until they gave up and used my hand instead. But overall, can't complain 😂
