Laprascopy Done!!!!  (Read 993 times)

Hi all - the lap went well, I am home.

Surgery was scheduled for 11:20, but I got in early, around 10:30.

The good news is - No Endo after all!! I do have poly-cystic ovary (since I only have the one). They removed 3 large-ish cysts for me.

They also did the tubal ligation for me. They were able to go in thru the belly button, so no new scars - YAY!!

They sent me home about 2:30. The recovery room and ride home were torture, I was in constant tears and cursing a blue streak as papa drove, every time he hit a bump I swore and cried harder.

I was able to come home and get a few hours of sleep. I am back on all my meds and taking Percoset every 4 hours today and tomorrow, whether I feel like I need it or not.

My boyfriend is staying with me tonight so I am not alone, and I have friends coming by to stay with me over the next few days so I won't be alone for very long, if at all.

Thank you all so much for your well wishes and prayers. I'll be spending the next few days being very mellow and taking care of myself. I have arranged to be off work unti March 9th if I need to, and also got everything set up to work from home next week and the week after if I fel up to it but don't want t go to the office.

I'm feeling a bit better, still feels like I was beaten with a crow bar from the inside out, but it is better today than it was yesterday. Of course, it felt best in the am yesterday, so we'll see how things go the rest of the day. I am not going to push myself at all. Lazy and mellow, even if it kills me lol. It's hard for me to lay about and ask people to do and fetch for me. Just not my nature. But, I know if I do for a few days, I will heal better than if I push myself.

I've got bruises all over my belly, a small incision in belllybutton and another one at the top of my pubic hair line. I am still very bloated and swollen, partly the gas, partly swelling. I look bloody pregnant though... *grumble* The gas feels bizarre, I can feel it moving. Sometimes it gets to a bad spot and then oh D@MN...

My good friend Clacy came over as soon as I told her I was home. Papa went to the store and got my Percoset, which I am to take every 4 hours through today, even if I don't think I need it, and then as needed. He also went to King Soopers for me and picked up juice and soda etc for me. While he was out, my Dad was here... he drank 2 beers while I pretended to be asleep. *growl* Then Clacy got here, Papa got back, and she shooed them both out the door. I pretended to be asleep until after they were gone, because if I let on I was awake I was going to lose my temper with my dad. Dad even grabbed a 3rd beer for the road! I was pissed about that. So was Clacy. I mean really... you are supposed to be looking after me, making sure I am ok and don't need anything... and you're drinking?! WTF??!!??!


My boyfriend Lloyd came over after work, and he and Clacy stayed all night with me. Lloyd went to work in the morning and Clacy spent all day with me yesterday until Marla, my other-mother(lol), came over. Clacy even helped me get my laundry done and changed my sheets for me, too. She also washed the floor in the bathroom where Catsanova was marking.

Lloyd came by this morning and took Catsanova to the vet to be neutered, Clacy will bring him home when he is done. He shouldn't mark anymore once that's done. And he's such a sweetie, I certainly do not want to have to get rid of him for something easily fixed.

Cassie is coming down to see me this afternoon. She is bringing me teas, and movies, yarn and is going to teach me to knit to help pass the time healing.

I don't have anyone staying with me tonight, yet. Ummm... think that about covers it...
