Surgery and blurred vision

I had a procedure called Novasure on December 30th. I had been having my cycle every 2 weeks for about 6 months. My Dr, Dr Julie Hughes kept attributing it to stress, but I was feeling like I wasn't that stressed with my life just the normal everyday stresses of having a family of 6. So, I finally went to see her and she first decided to do an endometrial biopsy to rule out any kind of cancer. Talk about hurting and uncomfortable. I waited a week and the results were negative which made me feel a lot better. She scheduled me for surgery December 30 at 1:15. The whole procedure only lasts for about 20 minutes in which the Dr burns the lining of your uterus. Hopefully this will prevent me from having a menstrual cycle again or atleast just a very light one. I have never had surgery before besides having my wisdom teeth out years ago so I was a little bit nervous. Luckily, my great husband took the day off to take me over to the Idaho Surgery Center in Caldwell. I love my doctor. She seems to know just what I need. I have been meaning to give her a picture of Cael and her that was taken right after he was born. It's only taken me a year and a half to get it to her.

They gave me a scopolamean(spell?)nausea patch that goes behind your ear and then gave me some verced in my iv to relax me. It took about 5 seconds to relax me and that is all I remember. The next thing I know I was in my recovery room very sleepy. Jared took me home and I was pretty crampy and in quite a bit of pain. He was great. He pampered me and did all he could to take care of me. On Saturday late afternoon I started having pretty bad blurred vision and it just kept getting worse. By Sunday I had severe blurred vision and was dizzy. I guess the side effects of the patch are blurred vision if it somehow gets in your eyes. I must have rubbed my head or something and got the patch on my pillow while I was sleeping. So for about 10 days I couldn't drive, text, write, etc. It was not much fun. Now I just have to wait to see if the surgery works.
