Surgery Chronology

I finally made up my mind to undergo the surgery. The support from family, friends and others gave me an extra courage to made this decision. A deeper surrender that God whisper to me hit me at the right moment, I have no longer objection toward the surgery.

July 3rd, 2012
I entered the hospital this day with my parents and Grace. I chose the lower class for the lower cost. Even though the health insurance cover up the cost, there will be exceed cost that I have to pay. The room filled with 7 beds but only 3 occupied. I got bed no 1.

At the afternoon many friends came to visit and we also prayed together. Grace and Nit2x stayed with me til 11PM. They wanted to stay for the stomach cleansing process. I don't like this process at all. The nurse tried in every way to clean the stomach. Started with pills, gliserine, and water. The painful one was when they put the glycerine and water from my rectum. The result wasn't good.

July 4th, 2012
The surgery started at 8AM but the nurse woke me up at 4AM to repeat the stomach cleansing process. Oh God, I said. Again, it failed. So the nurse decided to gave tampon inside my rectum. Trust me, it was awful. My family came at 6AM together with some friends. We prayed together. The nurse brought me to the surgery room at 7AM. After the anesthetic, I couldn't remember a thing.

My parents said the surgery ended at 10:30. I was returned to my room at 2PM. I was awake around 4PM when the visiting hours start. I wasn't completely awake so I can't recognize friends who came. I knew there were many of them but couldn't remember. The anesthetic effect still on.

July 5th, 2012
I woke up early, around 3AM. The nurse showed me what the doctor took from the surgery. The figure wasn't clear as the water wasn't clear. My dad said the doctor remove the right ovary, the left ovary is still on its place, but there's a myoma on the left ovary. The doctor also remove the ovary myoma.

The doctor came early to check on me. He confirmed what my dad said. He also said that the cyst on the right ovary "ate" the ovary, till it became broken. There was no way to save the right ovary. He also said the right ovary function is 3/4 due the myoma but I still can have period and a chance to have a child.

July 6th,2012
This morning I had a fever. I decided to go home today. The nurse said I may not go home if my fever remain high. So I tried my best to reduce the fever. My dad handled the payment and the admin for my release. The health insurance covered 6.4 while the total cost is 11.3. So, we still have to pay the rest.

I went  home around 7PM, I manage to get the fever down. I lost my appetite and my head was very heavy when I go home. I insisted to go since I don't really like to stay at the hospital, the bed, the food, everything seemed awful. I didn't want to stay any longer, 4 days is enough. 



That's the chronology of my surgery. I will update with the picture when the pathology result come up. No matter what comes up at the pathology report, I just want to say that I am grateful, thankful, and blessed.


Thanks to my parents, dr. Budiyo Santosa SpOG, Pastor Pikor SVD, Mr and Mrs Budi Santosa, Mr Prawita, Mrs Ratna Osis, Nit2x, Grace, Siska, Imelda, Rika for actually being there, for praying all the time, and for financial support. You're my angels without wings. 

Thank you to friends and colleagues which I can't mention one by one. Thank you for you support. May God return your favor abundantly. I'm blessed to have you in my life.

Thank You, Jesus for the strength, for the success on the surgery, and especially for giving me a chance to have a child with my left ovary. You still give me a chance, I am so happy. You are My Savior, My Wonderful and Powerful God, Jesus. Your love and miracle never ends in my life. Thank You, Jesus. Thank You...
