The title says it all.
Stitch still hurts like hell.
0 Comments
Well, AF didn't show today. Something I was not expecting.
Aside from that, my one incision still hurts a whole lot. I decided to stay out of school until I see my doctor. I also plan to see my RE this week to set up a plan of action. I think I'm going to call my Obgyn tomorrow morning to request copies of my labs and lap info to take with me. This way everyone is on the same page. That's all for now. I'd love it if AF would show up. Well, good news: I can 💩 without laxatives!! Bad news: my one stitch still hurts like absolute hell.
I dreamt I went back to work too soon and it was extremely difficult for me to do so. So, if I feel really crappy, pain wise, over the next 2-3 days, I'll be staying out until I see my doctor. Honestly, what is two more days at this point? I need to heal. Even tho I'm having small successes, I still need to heal fully. I'm still feeling pretty crappy. But I can fart with ease, I can burp with ease, I can 💩 with the help of a laxative and prune juice. I can move around a little bit, but I am exhausted.
I extended my time off Until Thursday because this is crazy how I feel and I'm not rushing healing for a job where I don't really feel valued. That said, two of my stitches (right & middle) are starting to itch which means healing is happening; however, the one on the left side just hurts a whole lot while moving and if I force gas. The pain is like a burning pain. We plan to go to the RE on Monday to discuss everything and next steps. I'm excited to have answers for a change, but scared because, only one tube remains. But I know it's possible to get pregnant with one tube. My MIL has only one and got pregnant with my BIL. So it's possible. Also because blocked tubes secrete toxic fluids. That's all for now. Slowly getting better. I can't wait to be fully healed so I can appendix carry, now I need to carry on my string arm side, my preference is appendix carry. Oh well. It's been three days since my lap, I still feel pretty horrible. Mostly gas pressure and pain - not the shoulder kind, but in my abdomen.
I'm also super exhausted, can't quite seem to not fall asleep constantly. But I guess it's to be expected. I really hope I start to feel better in a couple of days, I'd like to go see my RE to discuss my lap and next steps, but it really depends on how I feel. My avid reflux is in full throttle with every meal, and I just want to fart so bad. That's all really. I wish I kept a better log on recovery, but didn't think to do so. I have so many questions about my tubes blocking up, like can it happen again, what caused it, why did it happen, how did it go unnoticed?? So many Ana hopefully my doctor can shed light on it at post op. I'm in and out of sleep and in quite a bit of pain so this will be brief.
That is all. Oddly, I dreamt this two nights before surgery that I'd have no endo and a tube removed. We have to take a month off for me to heal. In a few hours, I'll be heading to the hospital to have my lap done. I'm both nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous because I don't want them to find anything too terrible, excited because I may finally have some answers and will hopefully successfully conceive quickly. 🤞
I will update after I know what happened post op. So I met with my Obgyn. A lot of really great news, some not so good.
Good news:
He wants us to try on our own for 6 months, then do ivf. Today is a positive Opk, which is good because that means my cycle is back to normal. 🙌
We skipped going to the RE yesterday because we heard he wasn't going to be in. I did text him, but have not yet heard back. Doesn't really matter, we can't do anything this cycle anyway. I'm nervous about surgery, I'm also excited and hopeful for answers, I just hope they aren't bad ones. I think that's why I'm scared. I just am afraid of bad news. I guess I'll update after I see my doctor Thursday. At least with like what to expect for surgery and all my blood results. Well, I have mixed feelings. Mostly good, but I really had a hard time with the fact that he kept pushing a new RE on us. Which after multiple failed cycles, I get it, but I just think something has been missed and this will catch and change it.
The Doctor we met with was extremely thorough, which I liked. He was a bit upset that no one has run a lap on me at all during this time. And honestly, I agree with him on that. Granted, ultimately you hope everything is clear, but I know that more literature is showing that if things are unexplained, or there's low amh with multiple failures, endo is usually found. This guy tho is more concerned with my tubes over endo. They took like 20 vials of blood to check everything from hormone levels to thyroid and everything in between. My lap is tentatively scheduled for the 21st. I'm both excited and nervous about the surgery. I've never been cut before, so nervous about that. Hoping to finally have some answers and then some luck. I really do believe this guy is the best one to do the surgery. I go back to my re on Saturday, so I'll talk to him about all this then. I have no idea about recovery time, or time we need to wait to try again. I'm also a little miffed about having to not exercise for any extended periods of time. |
