Rumors of my Death Have Been Greatly Exaggerated...

I'm a little achy, a little sleepy, and a little distracted, so you guys get bullet points!

  • surgery went fine, but I was stuck in recovery for 4 hours because I was coughing up so much liquid and my lungs sounded "crackly".
  • Holy endometriosis, Batman - they found stage 2 endometriosis on the back side of my uterus! I would never in a million years have guessed that I have endometriosis.
  • Drugs are gooooooooooooood.
  • I now know what early pregnancy feels like between my distended lower abdomen and my inability to hold more than a half bladder full of pee.
  • On a non-surgery related note, the dog problem that was pushing me over the edge into full on mental breakdown is solved. Let us never speak of it again. 
All in all, I am in good spirit and hoping to heal up quickly. Right now I walk pretty slow, but at least I'm walking. I'm way behind on reading and commenting - I promise I'll catch up soon. And once I've had my 2 week post-op visit I'll have more to say about my surgery, because for now I don't know much.

  2. Glad you made it through! Be sure to rest these next few days, recovering might take longer than you think. (It took me nearly 6 days to recover from the laparoscopy last year.)

  4. So glad to hear that everything went well and you're getting around ok, even if you're slow-moving. They found stage 2 endo with me, too. Sucks! Glad they took care of it, though. Hope your recovery continues to go well!

  5. Ah, bless it. I'm glad you have access to ease the pain of ovarian drilling. If one should ever have drugs for surgery, it should be for ovarian drilling. Here's to a quick recovery!
