Ok I am not sure anyone reads this blog or not since no one comments but I guess I will keep blogging in case there is a poor soul who does read it....
So obviously I made it through surgery, though it feels like I barely did. I wasn't really even nervous Wednesday morning, I just wanted to get it over with. Of course my doctor was late getting to the hospital, so instead of going at 1, I went at 1:30. 30 min may not seem like a long time, it is when all you want is a drink of water! I get all checked in and ready. A girl from anesthesia comes in to start my IV. Of course she starts in my hand which I know she won't get but whatever. So the second try I tell her where to go. She numbs me this time and gets it without a problem. Then I am taken on a long journey to the OR. I was laying in the operating room getting all hooked up for surgery just waiting and the CRNA kept asking if I wanted something to help me relax and I kept saying I don't care because I wasn't all that nervous but finally I gave in and he gave me some good sleepy juice. Dr. Mooney then came in and made some remark about me not having alot to say but I really didn't care at the time cuz I was in lala land by that time!! Anyway, the next thing I remember is being in the recovery room feeling claustrophobic due to the mask they put on my face. grrrr. Warning TMI! Then I tell the nurse I feel like I have to pee or have a BM so she puts me on the bedpan (ewww) and I can't go and she tells me "I already emptied your bladder" (she straight cathed me and more on that later). So then I proceed to ask her what they found (all while on the very comfortable bedpan bt I didn't care because I was still half asleep) and I in fact have endometriosis, which they lasered away. I also had a cyst on my right ovary which they removed and cleaned out my uterus (I forget the technical term she said since I was so tired). By this time, I am having a ton of pain and pressure in my abdomen and up into my right shoulder. The nurse gives me a dose of fentanyl, which does nothing at all for me. She gives me 2 more doses and still it doesn't help so I just deal with the pain by now. She then tells me that I haven't been looking good and has been giving me some fluids through my IV. Anyway, I am off the bedpan by now and then she tells me I am going to have to get up into a chair. hahahaha But I do it anyway because I wanna go home and go to bed. I get taken to stage 2 recovery and I get ice water!!! yay! I also get a percocet for the pain (I don't recommend these, I about puked on the way home). The nurse (who is a male) states he needs to see my incisions and check my "vaginal bleeding" so I let him (eww). Apparently everything is ok. Then Ryan, Dad, Marty and Stacy are brought back to see me. I sit there for a while then get up to pee and then get dressed and go home!!
Overall the surgery went well. My belly was really bloated from the gas they put in my stomach (so it was easier to look around). I also have severe shoulder pain (and still do) from the gas. (long explanation needed, we will just say it is normal) I got 2 tiny incisions, one in my belly button and one on my lower right abdomen, that hurt more than you would think. I must admit that I am a big wimp though and i don't deal with pain well. It is a known fact that nurses make the worse patients!!
I also must say that I have the most wonderfu husband ever!! Ryan is taking such good care of me and is doing everything for me, though today I am on my own because he had to go back to work today. I was given specific instructions not to do anything. I really can't do anything anyway because the minute I take the heating pad from my shoulder, I get shooting nerve pains down my arm and it goes numb (all normal). So I am being lazy again!! Oh and yesterday we went to my dad's and Marty's house for dinner so I didn't have to worry about cooking. I really wasn't in the mood to eat and if I ate too much my belly would just get bloated and it would hurt even more so basically I ate a little and then took a nap and then ate dessert and came home and went to bed!! So exciting! Anyway, hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgivng!! I go back to see the doctor in 2 weeks and we will determine what to do from there!
