6/7 D-day: Before and After

So the pesky cyst is gone. Ended up having to come back for emergency surgery because they thought it had torsed when the pain came back full throttle earlier. Turns out the pesky cyst had a hole and had been leaking fluid consistently and dried out my ovary! But the ovary is fine (yay future babies) and the cyst is gone. And my poor innocent appendix is chillen. Ps. Shout out to my amazing surgery attending who came in at 8 pm to watch my case and make sure I was okay.
