Nothing Trivial

How fast things can change in a blink of an eye.

All part of life I guess. 

I recently found out that I have a 10 centimeter tumor attached to my uterus. If you're not sure how big that is, it's the size of a baby's head.   Due to the side effects it's been giving me, I'm told that I need major surgery to remove it.

However.
Here's where it gets tricky.  

Because of my weight, my high blood pressure, and my sleep apnea, I am at very high risk for complications during surgery and also with general anesthesia.  Some of the risks include, infection, heart attack, blood clots, and a longer than usual time waking from anesthesia.  There are many more risks that I'm not naming.   

Along with all these risks comes another devastating part.  I will most likely need a hysterectomy.  

How am I coping you ask?  I'm not.  I'm numb, and I'm wishing it was all over.
