Hi! As you all know, I have been having my cervical health monitored for the past year and change as my pap smears have shown abnormalities. These problems can resolve themselves but mine have not and my official diagnosis as per my last biopsy is moderate cervical dysplasia. Meaning that these abnormalities are precancerous. Scary? Yes. Fixable? Yes. And I will be having surgery tomorrow. Not only will I be getting the LEEP procedure done to remove the problematic cells via electricity but I will also be getting my tubes tied as well. Johnny and I do not want children and I figure that I might as well get it done while I’m already under anesthesia! (I also can’t believe I spelled anesthesia right on the first go. GOOD FOR ME!)

While this is all a little overwhelming, I mainly feel good about it and have been looking forward to it since my gyno told me we have to go the surgical route. I’m one of those people that once I know that something needs to be done, I want it done ASAFP so waiting for the past month and a half has been torturous! It has been over a decade since I have had a surgical procedure done and I would say my nervousness is at a solid ten percent which isn’t bad. It would be higher if I didn’t have full trust and confidence in my gyno who will be performing my surgeries. She has provided me with the most excellent care and I know that the LEEP and tubal will be successful.

I will definitely be in the best hands with the surgical team and my Johnny is going to be there every step of the way which really eases the butterflies in my basket. Although my nervousness is at a ten percent, excitement makes up the other ninety because this has all been a massive pain in the keister lol. Also is it bad that part of my excitement isn’t coming from solving my moderate cervical dysplasia? Because I’ve been fantasizing about the post op Taco Bell something FIERCE and I am not the slightest bit ashamed to admit it. Hey, I have to have something to look forward to to face the discomfort once everything is said and done!

If you are a person with women’s parts, I cannot emphasize enough how important your gynecological care is. Through early detection you can stop precancerous cells in their tracks. Here’s to scheduling an appointment with your gyno today and here’s to me for tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Have you had to have surgery? What was your recovery like? I want to hear from all of you, so leave me a comment and let’s chat! Much love. -Sarah
