Elvis has left the Pelvis!

The cyst, formerly known as Elvis, has finally left Shelley’s pelvis.

Seemingly, everything went just fine, they took out the cyst (no word on a couple other potential proto-cysts) along with all her reproductive plumbing — with the exception of ONE overy, left for hormone producing purposes.
Everything has been declared benign.
Shelley was already telling me what I needed to do when I got home, so we KNOW she’s not feeling too badly.

As for my part in this ordeal, the wait was not too bad with the exception of about 10 minutes…About an hour and half into the surgery, the hospital P.A. blurts out:
“Code BLUE, Urology O.R. 1, Code BLUE, Urology O.R. 1, Code BLUE, Urology O.R. 1!”
We ALL know what a Code Blue is! And where is Shelley? “Urology O.R. 1” sounds like a fairly likely place! So, after about 10 minutes of pacing and fretting, I phoned Shelley’s Mom (not quite sure where the logic of that was), and, of COURSE, her response was, “Ask the nurse, you loser BE ASSERTIVE!” Well, it WASN’T Shelley (obviously), and I now feel stupid, but relieved.
All that’s left for us now is recovery. I can DEAL with that!

(And, yes, Terry, you were right. Everything was fine. Thanks.)
