Fibroid - follow up

I had my surgery on June 24, 2010. The last time I wrote, I had mentioned expelling a mysterious mass from my vagina. It turns out, the doctor inserted an anti-coagulant to reduce bleeding during my surgery. The anti-coagulant was what came out of me. The nurse was supposed to tell my husband about it after the surgery. Either the nurse forgot to tell my husband, or my husband forgot to tell me about it. I'm just glad everything is OK.

It's been about 5 weeks since the surgery. I've had no irregular bleeding and no discharge. It's like I'm a new woman with a new lease on life! To stay strong and healthy, I've been going to the gym a couple of times a week. All I do is ride the bicycle for about 10 minutes and walk on the treadmill for 15 minutes at a 2.0 incline and a 4.0 pace (15 minute miles). Next week, I'll start my regular exercise routine again.

So far, I'm very happy with the results of the surgery. I hope my good fortune continues.
