Oh my, pulisa! That must have been scary and traumatic for you! I am holding on to the fact that the planning is going to make it safer. I had an emergency myomectomy years ago when another fibroid went nuts and it was really terrifying. I remind myself this is the reason I'm planning this out - so I have control over my preparation, etc...
I've started preparing at home, too - I did a massive clean out of junk in the house last weekend and fixed our dishwasher. I've started going for more walks, but now vowed to walk at least 2-3 miles every day until the surgery. I'm not in great shape and the lockdown has made that even worse. So, I'm going to get that exercise in and also try and stick with intermittent fasting from now util them, which always helps with my gut health and reflux (which will also hopefully improve once these fibroids stop pushing my stomach up!)
Doctors are always so optimistic about hormone issues, but I have done a lot of research and know that there's a chance my ovaries won't ramp back up to full power. Although no one has every officially diagnosed me, I'm almost positive my estrogen levels are out of wack, which is why I get these rapidly growing fibroids. I'm also a total basket case during ovulation (depressed, anxious, in the most pain), which according to my former shitty doctor isn't possible because it's when I'm supposed to feel good. I wonder if my ovaries slowing their roll a bit might improve my mood!
