Hi all, just to let you know that I am back from surgery, and I did in fact wake up from the anesthetic! Thank you all again for your words of encouragement. Surgery went well, although I did end up with a partial hyst (the fibroid was the size of a SMALL MELON, and had taken over most of my uterus! Holy moly!). Oh well, you can't win 'em all. This way at least there's no chance of it growing back, and I feel pretty good, all things considered.

I probably won't be commenting much for the next few weeks, but wanted to wish you all a happy holiday!

Elisabeth
