Recovery, Post-op & Good Feelings by Teri's Blip in the Universe on Oct 20, 2009I am 11 days post op as of today. Travis has been home from work all this time to take care of the baby & other things while I recover. I’d been down to one pain pill a day – ½ in the morning, ½ in the evening the past three days or so. [.

The Gilda Radner Hereditary Cancer Detection Program by Teri's Blip in the Universe on Oct 12, 2009There is a two-fold benefit of having my ovaries removed – one is that of course now my risk of ovarian cancer just went from 44% to less than 2% (that’s even less than the general population risk thankyouverymuch) – assuming the pathology...

Ok, some women may not want to read it either. Well, it’s my blog and I’ll write w...

Female Reproductive Organs by Teri's Blip in the Universe on Sep 17, 2009With just twenty-two days to go until my first surgery I’m again thinking about the ins and outs of the hysterectomy/oopherectomy. I admit that I think about ovaries & boobs a lot these days. It seems to be another side effect of having the BRC...

Pain, Surgeries & Gratitude by Teri's Blip in the Universe on Sep 16, 2009I went to the Pain Clinic in Palmdale yesterday. I had Trigger Point Injections in my neck, some big ole pain patches that I can wear twelve hours a day (they have a numbing agent in them) and I was put back on Lyrica (I took myself off that when I f...
