Ode to ovaries

Thank you @Locksley and @FLClover and @NelSky for your best wishes. I feel completely calm about the surgery. It’s a totally different feeling when it’s prophylactic - it’s just a job that needs to be done now. The drains and IV’s I hate but it’s all temporary. I feel guilty for leaving my family while I am in hospital - last surgery my mother came but she is on the wrong side of the border this time so no help there. They will manage I am sure but I still worry for them. Will they remember to wash their uniforms? Pack the younger ones lunches etc. hopefully two nights and I will be home.
