Wish granted

It has been almost 6 weeks since surgery. I am still in awe that this time has flown by so fast. I have come a long way in such a short time. Preparing for a life changing surgery is so easy feat. I researched and read as much as I could. I found a website called hystersisters very helpful. This website gave me some great ideas, preparation tips, etc on what to expect.
The day of the surgery I was a mess, As I was going through the motions at the hospital all I did was keep asking God to grant my wish of making me pain free even if it was for just a few days. I would take anything as long as the pain was gone. As I was waiting with my family in pre-op room the number 5 kept going through my mind, 5 years of suffering was hopefully going to come to and end. I have been in a fog for 5 years. I cannot believe it, how did I ever allow myself to get in this mess of narcotics and harsh drugs that invaded my body?
I have been in recovering for almost 6 weeks. April 27 has come and gone. So far I am on track, and according to hystersisters I am right where I am supposed to be activity and pain wise. I honestly didn't think things would ever be this smooth. Could it be that my wish has come true? Someone please pinch me, I must be dreaming. I went into surgery knowing that I am not "cured" but simply in a remission stage. I am fully aware that my endometriosis can come back at any time.
As I move on counting days towards my one year hysterversary I have yet to have any regrets. I have exceeded my expectations and am loving every minute of this pain-free life style.
At last, my wish was granted. :)
