Re: Answer - what is a myo by Kubby

[Guest guest]

Kukulaka--

Kubby is back on the list!! Do we welcome him or tell him to go play

with the killer deer? I, for one, enjoyed your Kubby stories

immensely and am glad to see you are once again telling tales on him.

I hope he is behaving himself.

orange and not just a little over a inch like the scans said), the RE

just made a little cut (4-5 inches). Then he reached in and pulled my

uterus out and laid it on my stomach. Cut the uterus open

and " SNIPED " out the fibroid (1 pendulated fibroid). Sewed up my

uterus. Are you ready... then he " TUCKED " my uterus back inside and

sewed my " little " cut back up.

to worry about. He felt free to go and eat while I had my surgery. He

wasn't worried.
