Can I whine?

I had my laparoscopy last Wednesday, and the surgeon cleaned out extensive endometriosis. Which is great, fertility-speaking, but my word I am still so tired and sore!

Today was my first day back to work and I am exhausted. My sweet students were awesome, helping me pass out papers and being super quiet, but I was just frustrated that I'm not 100% yet. 

Vent over.

  • Sorry you had to go through that, but I'm glad the surgeon was able to get the endometriosis cleaned out!  Did they say how long recovery would be?

    That's great your students were so helpful--you don't have too much more of school left, do you?   Frustration is understandable, hope you feel better soon!!

    "Cleaned out" probably doesn't adequately describe the amount he had to laser out of my pelvis. But still, it's good.

    I could return to work within 3-5 days. Most people I've talked to said it takes a week or more to feel normal. I guess I just want to be superwoman!

    2 weeks left of school. Big Smile

  • What a drag.

    I had to have a similar (it sounds like) procedure done a few years ago, though not for fertility reasons, and I felt less than 100% for a few days even from that. 

    Give it some time, and take solace in the fact that you have summer vacation coming up!

  • I hope you feel better soon, and yes...enjoy summer vacation that is soon coming!

  • My second lap took me forever to recover from and I know yours had to be a ton more invasive. It felt like the anesthesia took forever to get out of my system. Take care of yourself and hang in there. Summer is just around the corner!

    Today was so much better. I think I just needed one more day of recovery. Thanks for your kind words!
