Couples Yoga and Operation
Yesterday, I took the hubs to yoga. We were lucky that the teacher (at the spa) didn’t charge us extra for a private class. To my surprise, he loved it and wants to go twice a week! We started the warm up and then got right into poses with one another! I have never experienced yoga like that. He was placed in child’s pose as I lay spine to spine on him. We also did the double downward dog pose! He also did these on top of me! We did a few other poses and I’m so proud of him because it can be a bit intimidating for a first time yogi to do something really different. But he’s a trooper! We got an hour massage afterwards in the same spa and amazed at the price (with membership). We had an hour yoga plus massage (two people) for 100 USD. Isn’t that kind of insane? So affordable… Granted its not something we will do every week (and this isn’t the cheapest in Shanghai) but it really calmed me down about my upcoming surgery and the spa atmosphere was really relaxing.
We hopped across the street to La Taverna. We never noticed it before so we gave it a try. They have been open for a month, which explains why we don’t remember seeing it. It was delicious and the price was very reasonable. The staff was incredibly kind and well mannered too. The gelato (especially the chocolate) was delicious and according to our waitress, it was imported from Italy!
This morning, I went in for my pre operation blood work and ultrasound. Since my uterine lining is quite thin (after my period), my doctor had a better look at my polyp. It’s a lot bigger than they expected and scheduled my surgery for this Wednesday. Not my birthday (Friday) so that’s good!
She said that the polyp is blocking the egg from being fertilized ad removing it is the answer. I have to take medicine the day of. The medicine will make me start bleeding (so my lining is thin again). They will operate and remove the polyp and then I will be in the hospital to recover.
I told her I’m a little scared, she said its normal. It’s ok to be scared but to be hopeful because…. Other than this polyp, I’m very healthy, young and she has no doubt I’ll get pregnant after this.
So there it is. Surgery on the 20th! It’s going to be one step closer to getting pregnant and starting our family.
Fight fight fight! I can do this!
excuse any grammar/spelling errors, I’m on my phone and it’s impossible to type on it!
It is okay to be scared! But you’re always amazingly strong, so every time you start to feel scared, remember HOW strong you are. You can do anything! You can do this.
And re: what you said on the last comment. No way – every surgery is surgery. The amount one person went through does not diminish the anxiety that another faces when they go through it. Do not feel bad about worrying. That’s natural!
Thinking of you!
Thanks sweetie
I really have to remember that and I’m so glad you’re reminding me. Xoxoxo
Hello again! haha
I decided I’ll stop being a stranger and be more proactive about leaving you comments! hehe
I”m Korean too and I really enjoy your blog!
I started yoga a year ago and really enjoyed it… It def is a stress reliever and a good work out as well. I had my bf go with me once and he enjoyed it so much that he goes on a regular basis now haha! I’ll have to try couples yoga one day with him but I bet it’ll be more expensive here in the States :/
And good luck on your surgery! I’m sure it’ll be the beginning of many joyous events in your life

Thank you!!! I’m so glad you’re stopping by to say hi.
Yoga is expensive in the states, which is why I haven’t taken very many classes. Trying to take full advantage while we live here. Couples yoga is so fun! I suggested trying at least one class
I know it can be pricey but I think it was worth it just to do an exercise connecting with the hubs.
Thank you for your kind words! I love blogging… But more like I’m writing one giant email to all my friends to let them know what’s going on. I’m happy to make new friends as well!
And thank you again for pre surgery wishes! Always!!!!! 화이팅!!!! 같이 화이팅 화이팅요!
