Operation Julie

So as I said in my previous (long time ago) I had a little procedure done by one of the gyn surgeons that I worked with during my ob/gyn rotation, which by the way I am missing very much. The procedure was a diagnostic laparoscopy of my pelvis for possible endometriosis and ovarian torsion. well, neither one of those diagnoses was the case. they did not find any endometriosis or ovarian torsion. instead what they did find was my entire bowel (intestines) attached to my anterior abdominal wall(backside of my abdomen). Fun, huh? well now it looks like i have to get a whole GI workup, colonoscopy included!! anyways, i have decided to let my body heal post-op so i am not persuing the GI consult for a while (maybe around xmas time). anyways, on a brighter and much less gross note, nat and i have decided to be anti-holiday (sorry mom and dad/spencers) and go to barbados for thanksgiving. we are going to have wonderful mexican food with margaritas and watch the water instead of having turkey, stuffing and tryptophan naps. I am a bit bummed about missing the food and the fam time but i am very excited to just get away (especially after the whole operation and all) and spend some relaxing time with nat (in between his surfing time of course). well, just wanted to update everyone. oh by the way, i am now on my medicine rotation and i am not liking it so much but we'll see in the next 9 WEEKS. ok, well happy turkey day everyone!! my bday is coming up, so be on the look out for details and pics from that. bye bye!!

    Incredible! Thank goodness you found out. In previous times you'd be doomed to a lifetime of intermitant pain. Have a wonderful, well deserved vacation. Happy Birthday! Best to you both, Susi
