Well the wife has had her operation and everything went well :-)
A total of 4 ovarian cysts were removed, one very large 35cm x 20cm x 20cm (Rugby ball), one about 5cm round (Tennis ball), and 2 smaller ones.
Slightly worrying is that some parts had to be left behind, part of the large one was attached to her bladder so the skin of it was left, and although one ovary was removed the other remains.
This is good in the sense that she won't need to have HRT treatment, but bad in that the cyst problem may reappear as this was the ovary that the large cyst eminated from.
She seems in good spirits even though they've taken away the Morphene now and she's feeling the pain.
Another reason not to wear a bikini, as they had to make two incisions this time, one from Belly button down, and another on the twice opened scar (where she had the ceasarian and hysterectomy) due to the size of the cyst being too big to get out of the first cut.
Her stomach is battered and bruised looking, but she's glad it's done.
Hopefully no complications or infections, and she'll be home in a day or two :-)
