Monday I had my third surgery to clean out my endometriosis. I had a surgery in 2004 where they found about three spots on my fallopian tubes that caused major pain. In 2007 I had my second surgery and my pelvic area was littered with endometriosis. A few months ago I started getting more pain again. The same familiar pain of endometriosis.
I saw my regular OBGYN and she sent me to a specialist that performs a new type of surgery on endometriosis using a robot. They ended up not finding a lot this go around. One small spot on my fallopian tube. There is a questionable lesion they found and sent it off to the lab for testing. Endometriosis can make the pelvic area very sticky. It caused my ovary to attach to my colon. Over two years ago I started having bad digestive problems I hope this fixes it!
Waking up from surgery was not the best experience. I had an allergic reaction to one of the drugs they injected in my IV. My throat was swelling, I could not breathe, and my legs broke out in hives. My vision was blurry but I could make out there were around 4 to 5 people around me trying to calm me down. They put a breathing mask over me. I kept screaming I can't breathe with what little bit of energy I had. They gave me a benedryl shot and I started getting better. I was a scary experience. I never woke up from anesthesia like that before.
I do not do well with pain meds. While it makes most people look like they are stoned and sleepy for me I turn into a mad cleaning person with ADHD. I took two pain pills the night I got home and was up at 1 AM working like a mad woman cleaning the house, playing on the computer, and doing paper work. Tony was not so thrilled about hearing me up all night but after me not getting a good night sleep for a month and a half after his accident he can deal with it. Every time I would get ready to relax something else bothered me I had to clean. Like the cat hair building up under the bed. I decided to paint my nails so I was forced to relax. `I finally passed out in bed at 11:30 AM and slept until 5.
I am at home trying to relax now. Stupid me volunteered to go back to work on Thursday. I hope I can make it. Normally I would not have a problem taking off the full week needed but since I am quitting I want to make sure I get everything wrapped up. Ah, yes I am quitting. That is another blog post.
