Surgery is scheduled November 18th at 2pm. Of course, I've been told that the time can vary by a few hours but the date is definite. Unfortunately we won't be able to take the baby with us (hospital regulations) so now we're going to need someone to watch her at least on the 18th and possibly the 19th if I end up having to stay overnight. The consultation went well, overall. I was informed of what could happen and what to expect. They're also going to run a biopsy on the cyst to make sure it's not cancerous. My OBGYN is hoping that she can take care of everything laparoscopically, but if the cyst has hard bits in it she'll have to make either a vertical or bikini incision to remove it (this is why there could potentially be an overnight stay in the hospital). She's hoping they can drain the cyst without removing the ovary, but it's unlikely due to the size. Overall it's not a very invasive surgery, for the most part.
I plan on taking time off work for about a week (18th - 24th) and Matt will be home with me the 18th - 22nd. Any help would be welcome and fresh cooked meals would be awesome, of course. ;) And because we need a little cute, here's a recent picture of Charlotte:
