Right now I am recovering from surgery this past Friday (iPhone picture below) and it's almost 5 AM on Saturday. I am in a lot of pain and can barely move from the surgery. Fibroids were found on my uterus and scar tissue were found on several organs, including my uterus. I have to wait until my follow up appointment on December 29 to see if the scar tissue is linked to endometriosis and to hear what else my Doctors have to say. I originally thought recovery time would be 2 weeks, but it is actually 3 weeks. Thanks for all of the well wishes and concern. It means a lot to me.
My next post will be on December 15 and I may only be posting 1 to 2 food posts a week until after December 29. This week there seemed to be not enough hours in the day for me with trying to prepare things before surgery. I hope you all had a great week. Here are my favorite links and things of the week.
- This bakers gift guide by Sweetapolita has a lot of fun things for the baker in your life.
- USB film roll is a great way to repurpose old film.
- Check out the favorite things of The Photo Within team.
- I discovered this photography website named YouPic.
- What a clever and funny post by CakeSpy on Will You Crush My Cookies for Me?
- The Hundred Foot Journey released this week. I would recommend this movie to all foodies.
- These red velvet funnel cakes are so fun and festive by Grandbaby Cakes.
- Since I'm a Canon girl this photography shirt is going on my wishlist.

DeleteI hope you get better soon. Rest up and enjoy having some time away to relax and recover. Now onto checking out some of these links
ReplyDeleteThanks and Inhope you enjoyed the links :-)
DeleteOh you poor thing! I had something similar last year where they took an ovary and fallopian tube because an endometrioma had just about destroyed them. It was supposed to be a few days in bed but it turned out to be so much harder than expected. Rest, rest, rest, and give yourself plenty of time. I rushed back to work and paid for it all winter long with illness after illness due to my weak immune system. I hope you're much better real soon. Good luck, prayers, and healing thoughts <3
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing that with me Allie. I hope you are feeling much better now. It's encouraging to know I'm not the only one going through something like this. Women's bodies go through so much, but we come out stronger because of it. Have a great Wednesday :-)
DeleteI hope you feel better and have a speedy recovery! Rest and take care of yourself!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Amy, :-)
DeleteI hope you're feeling a little better Chineka! Surgery is nasty, but with lots of rest and ice cream you'll be back to normal in no time! Sending hugs!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alessandra. Ice cream makes everything better! :-)
DeleteFeel better soon dear! And please don't worry about the blog during this recovery time. Just take your time and get better. The holiday season is the perfect time to rest.
ReplyDeleteThanks Zainab. I can't even get out to see the pretty houses with lights, but there are always the holiday TV shows. :-)
DeleteI hope you're better soon and they've taken care of ALL of your problems!
ReplyDeleteThanks Maureen. Have a great weekend.
DeleteYou're so brave to be sharing your story with us Chineka! I hope you recover soon and that you overcome this. Will be praying for you!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Jessica. The prayers are always welcome and appreciated. :-)
DeleteI hope you feel better soon! :) Posting less frequently is a great way to take it easy while you recover. Hope all goes well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah and have a good Thursday.
