You have to fight through the worst days of your life to get to the best ones!

Just a quick update on how my operation went!
I'm still a bit groggy and very much in pain so I need to write this quick and get off the computer. lol


As I said before I needed to have a Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy for the doctor to look into my womb and to take tissue for biopsy plus get rid of the septate if possible. Before I'd gone in my RE and the team had said that they didn't think I had a septate after all but would still check, they did however say that they may have to do some ovarian drilling if they found cysts on my ovaries.

Well this brings me on to my day..... I had a really bad time. I sat in waiting room from 12.30 till 5.30 without Kenny because he wasn't allowed in and with no phone for contact to outside world as I wasn't allowed that either. I was really panicky the longer I sat there and at 4pm I was last one left sitting there alone, I ended up having a panic attack/wanting to discharge myself. The nurses couldn't calm me down all I said was 'I want my husband' but they wouldn't call him. So I sat there crying for ages...if it wasn't for this older lady (who had her op first) coming back into the room and comforting/hugging me I wouldn't have had the op. She was lovely and talked to me calming me down until I finally went in at 5.30, it's amazing how a total stranger can comfort you in a time of need. I will remember her always, all I know is her name was Wendy - what an angel in disguise!  So then I was taken to theatre where they couldn't get the cannula in my hand so had to then go in the other, they then ended up giving me calming drugs before anesthetic because my pulse rate was so high. I was finally put to sleep and then was woken in recovery where I was apparently really crying and asking for Kenny, I don't remember that. I can honestly say that my nose op where they smashed my face in was easier and less painful. I really wanted to go home so I asked for pain relief and lots of it so the nurse gave me a whole syringe of morphine intravenously. The doctor came around and told me briefly that he had found that I do have a septate as first thought but they did not remove it (i have no ides why) and he said I would need an MRI Scan. I was really ut of it when he was telling me so he said he would ring me with more info about what they done this week. I then went to ward and finally after eating tea and toast got ready and left at 9.45pm.
As soon as I saw Kenny he just hugged me and I sobbed. 
So glad to be home even if I haven't slept all last nigh or all day.

I am in quite a bit of pain, it feels like I've done a thousand sit ups and I keep getting stabbing pains internally but I'm guessing this is all just part and parcel of the process! Luckily I only had to have 2 incisions made for the laparoscopy part and not 3 or 4 like they first said xx










 

Swollen tummy!
