Hello LW's...I'm back home and doing good. I'm not gonna lie...I hurt. But I hurt more from the removal of the bartholin's cyst rather than that other procedures. He did all that was on this list except the hysterectomy. There was 2 reasons for this ~ 1 was because the risk of infection from the rectocele outweighed the benefits of the surgery and 2nd was because most of it looked good while he was in there and said we'll just keep an eye on what he has fixed and see if there is a need for it in the future. 

The pain is very noticeable but tolerable I guess. I am just glad its all over and I'm on the mend.  

I am taking it easy and relaxing on the couch at the moment. I am very happy to be back home to take my vitamins and protein again. 3 days off the wagon and I think I can feel it for sure. So back to the grindstone. 

Thank you all for your support and well wishes. You all are the best EVER!!!
