Oophorectomy

I find myself with a bit of pre-surgery insomnia. I check in at St. Joe's Resort and Spa in about 5 1/2 hours to have the rest of my girl parts removed. It's called an oophorectomy when they remove the uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries - I'm going to call it a hysterectomy because that's what we all know. I'm more nervous about forgetting chapstick than the actual procedure. I'm in good hands and I'll be better off without those parts anyway. Today I had my final follow-up with Dr Kommareddi, my breast surgeon, and she was happy with my healing. She is a very pleasant and kind doctor - kind of sad to say goodbye. My radiation burn is healing quickly (thanks to my aloe plants ... and a slew of creams and ointments). It's mostly peeled with fresh, pink/tan skin underneath. I'm wondering if I'm going to have a rectangle boob tan for a while.
