Hi everyone! Random life update from me: I had surgery yesterday and everything went well! I had a bilateral salpingectomy, aka both of my fallopian tubes were removed, so I will never be able to get pregnant 🥳 This is something I've been wanting to do for a long time so I'm really glad I finally got it done and that it went smoothly!!
I mainly wanted to let y'all know to explain why I've been absent in the DMs the past couple days (since typically I respond quicker on weekdays), and why I might continue to be a little slow the rest of this week.

A little more about the surgery and recovery if you're interested! (I know I would be nosy lol, but don't keep reading if medical stuff makes you queasy)
The surgery itself is pretty quick and simple. It just involves 3 tiny incisions, one in my belly button and one near each hip, and they use tiny instruments to get in there and remove the tubes. My doctor and nurses were absolutely amazing, I am SO grateful for them. This was my first time having surgery (other than dental surgery) and I felt totally taken care by them.
Recovery has been going well so far, I'm just very sore and very tired, it constantly feels like I just got punched in the gut haha, and I think I've slept probably 15 of the last 24 hours 😂 Thankfully they hooked me up with some oxycodone, and I have wonderful family nearby to help look after me.
Anyway, thank y'all for being patient with me this week! My doctor said the first two days are the hardest and it should get a lot easier after that! So fingers crossed things continue to go well and that I'm back to normal soon :)
