On Oct. 19 , 1998 , My husband and I went to speak with
a surgeon about reversing my tubes to be able to conceive again.
He looked at my medical report and said that he could reconnect
them. He also told us that I would have to stay in the hospital
for two days for recovery. My husband told me we can have it
done and lets save our money. I am excited and scared and
we must put our complete trust in God.
On February 10, 1999 , I called the same doctor's office
we had our consultation with and made an appointment
to have my surgery !
March 1, 1999 , I cancelled my appointment that I had set up for
May 6 . It was a scheduled appointment to have my tubes reversed.
It was something I had been thinking about for several years .
Since I had made my appointment I been letting doubt and fear
overcome me .
My husband had already agreed that I could go
through with the operation . I'm still worried about the
financial part because we have to pay out of pocket.
Being able to have another child was what both our hearts were wanting .
I had the courage to set up the date a week ago over the telephone but
now I am scared . It all seems so unreachable and I am feeling discouraged.
On March 14, 1999 , I had a dream :
I was in a hospital and having labor pains. I remember lying on the hospital
bed and I could hear nurses voices coaching me on ! They were telling my
husband and I that they could see the baby coming and it's almost here !
I remember seeing a nurse come in and she kept checking the monitors.
And I could see a concerned look on the nurses face while reading them.
Next thing I know the baby was born and My husband bent down to kiss it's
tiny face. We were both filled of love and joy !
Dream ended.
I woke up and thought Wow ! What a unique and wonderful dream !
I could actually feel the labor pains .
On March 24, 1999 , I had been depressed about cancelling my
appointment. The financial part is the only thing that is keeping
me from having the operation. My husband and I had been
discussing it some more and agreed to take out a home
equity loan for my surgery. I called the surgeon's office and
asked if my original appointment on May 6 was still available.
The nurse gladly responded Yes !
May 4 , 1999 , I have everything ready for my surgery tomorrow.
My surgery date was moved up a day for May 5 . It's hard to believe
it's here ! I've dropped our four children off at my parent's home.
They will be watching them and sending them
to school during my two day stay at the hospital. Our children's
ages are 7,9,11, and 13. May God Bless my parents.
May 13, 1999, Dear reader , I have so much to talk about !
My surgery on May 5 went wonderful ! I wasn't that nervous going
into the operating room and God kept me calm . I remember the
the operating room was bright with many monitors and equipment.
My surgeon was real excited and ready to
perform the operation. There were about ten nurses all for me !
I remember my surgeon telling me I'll be sleeping ; while they're
doing the work ! He waved good-bye and I was out !
My appointment was at 2:00p.m. and It lasted until 6:00p.m.. I
didn't wake up in recovery until 8:00 p.m.
My surgeon came in my hospital room and said it was a success!
He said he opened both tubes and he was pleased that the
dye went into them great ! He told my husband and I that we
have a 60 to 70% of conceiving. We thanked him greatly
and Our Lord .
