Surgery Yesterday

durante baby - November 14

Well I had my surgery yesterday morning. I was in there for 5 hours 12mins...Everything went well procedure wise. I am anxious to see how i feel once i heal from the surgery> When i went in I had such horrible cramp i could barly walk and a horrible migrane. I didnt have any room to be nervous cause i was already in so much pain, i was begging them to hurry up and put me to sleep.lol....They found tons of endometriosis. She think i have had it WAAY longer then any of us expected. She guesses I probably have had it since either right after having Dante or before i had him...so basically since i was a teen. Alot of it was scare tissue and she couldnt remove it without doing damage.....Well here is the shit kicker........She says to me "Girl I give you props because if i were you I would have been yellin, screaming and possibly killing people to just rip my uterus out within a month of having zaiden" (which was 14 months ago.....She showed me the pictures that they took. which when i am feeling better i will put them on my myspace to gross people out...haha....My uterus was attached completely to the scar tissue from when i had zaiden. My uterus was tipped back, down and to the left, just hanging on the scar tissue. she said it was tipped in funky positions cause it was trying to get back in place and could cause of the scar tissue it was attached to.....well then she shows me another picture, and i havent quit figured out how to explain this yet so i will do my best...WHAT I SAW: My uterus (a kinda round ball) then on each side of my uterus a line that looked like a thick vein whick i assumed to be my fallopian tubes (about 3-4" long).....So i looked at the piture and said "oh thats my uterus and those are my fallopian tubes" The dr looked at me and said...umm hun those things that you think are fallopian tubes are youre uterus.... My uterus on each side was also attached to scar tissue and when my uterus tried to pull away to get back in position it stretched my uterus...the only way i can describe what my uterus looked like was a sling shot that is stretched out...the rubber bands on the sling shot being being my uterus that had been stretched.......... [**] ............... Lol there is a little picture. The stars are where the main section of my uterus is and the other thingys are my uterus sstretched in lines to my scar tissue from the c/s...She say that has been probably causing me more pain then the endometriosis. So she cut out as much of the scar tissue as she could from my c/s...the problem is that she cut out so much of the scar tissue she said that. Her and i are going to have to discuss now if I can saftly carry a pregnancy in the future : ( ....but as for the cyst on my ovaries...she said they have all ruptured, which is probably why I have been in so much pain for the past week. So she has nothing to do a biopsy on. She said that is a good thing. She said the most we can do now is keep an eye on if and when more cyst return.....Over all it went well, and I was amazed by the fact that when I woke up I couldnt breath and was dieing in pain, but the cramps were already gone....Im just hoping it stays like that and it isnt from the meds......I am obviously now home, and in more pain then i was yesterday but i can at least breathe better now that all the gasses that they filled me up with have for the most part released themselfs from my body.

God, I'm so sorry-that sounds awful, yet isn't interesting the things the body does??? So does this mean that once you heal from the surgery, you won't suffer so much? I just have to say that you are a lot stronger than I am. If someone told me all that stuff was happening in my body, plus showed me pictures, I'd be freaked out, and become a total hypochondriac about everything!!!!

Lol thank you, but i can be a hypochondriac about things somtimes, but so much little stuff goes wrong with my body that i have learned to be optimistic about everything. dh is the one who flips out now. I am the type of person who goes in for surgery and wants, and expects to be back on their feet the next day. I am suppose to deffinatly be in alot less pain now. My post Op is december 5th and they will most likely put me on the lupron shot to stop my ovaries from working so the endometriosis doesnt come back...The only cure for endo is pregnancy, menopause, or a hystorectomy...pregnancy is just a nine month temporary cure...same thing goes for the lupron shot. If i come off of it then the endo will come back. I already dont have the cramps like I did, which has me amazed! My uterus being attached to the scar tissue like it was was very unexpected, and she thinks that was where most of my pain was comming from. All i can do now is wait and see. I have high hopes = )

Even dh says that i seem much more lively and healthy looking compaired to before. I am in alot of pain from the surgery, but in a weird way i feel like for the first time in years i have no pain at all......Ahh its like breathing fresh air!! hahaha im a dork
