XP: I'm Home! (Long, TMI)
Here is where the TMI starts so be forewarned. My doc told Jason what she found and showed him pictures, but I won't get to go over things with her until my post-op visit in about 2 weeks so I had to get things secondhand. There was a ring of endo and scar tissue that had formed around one of my ovaries (he couldn't remember which, but based on my pain and pain before the surgery I'm 99% sure it was my right one) and was constricting the ovary. There was some kind of name for it that she told Jason, but he couldn't remember. She was able to remove it so hopefully that will help with my symptoms. She also said that I will either continue on the pill I am on now ( 3 months on, 1 week off) or switch to a shot. Now this is the tricky part. Jason and I have discussed TTC in a year as long as we can afford a child, so I would like to stay on the pill and switch to the shot after baby. My doc told him the goal is to have as few periods as possible because with each period the scar tissue will grow back. She also told him I will probably need a hysterectomy in about 15 years.
I'm staying optimistic about being able to concieve and all that. I definetly do NOT want to go through this again. My throat is really sore from being intubated and all I've been able to eat is a pudding cup. The gas they used to blow up my belly has already settled into my shoulders, especially the right one, causing a lot of pain if I sit up or stand. When I asked the nurse at the hospital if I could take some gas-x for it she looked confused and said it really wouldn't make a difference. I just took some so we will see who's right! I didn't like one of my nurses all that much. She gave me vicodin and when I said it wasn't making a difference another nurse gave me a second. When the first nurse came back and I said my pain level was still the same she pretty much didn't believe me and said they weren't going to give me anything else....b!tch! Aside from her everyone else was really nice. In fact, my nurse in recovery was someone I knew! She is one of my sorority sisters, small world! One other not-so-plesant thing is that my bladder is taking it's time getting back to normal
I thought they would want to have me pee before they released me from the hospital, but I couldn't go and got really dizzy so I had to go back to bed. The b!tchy nurse didn't care after that and just wanted to get me out of there. I've been able to go at home, but things aren't quite 'normal'. Hopefully this will resolve when the anesthia wears off.
I apologize, I know this post is all over the place and I'm sure there are spelling errors, maybe it's the drugs. Thank you ladies for all your well wishes!
Oh, and I was nervous for nothing. The anesthisologist was really nice and after he gave me some anti-anxiety meds I didn't remember much. I think I was out before he even gave me anesthia!
