How has been the recovery for my surgery been? Hectic. Crazy. Painful. Worth it all because it got rid of the Endo in me and thus I was able to get some answers which was crazy to start with. Apparently, the surgery details and the surgery itself went without a hitch and I got my pathology report: Apparently there are 4 stages of endometriosis. I had stage 2. It’s not the worst but they did cut out a lot of lesions in me behind my uterus. I even have the pictures of it inside, honestly and it sucks badly that a lot of that bad stuff was happening inside of me. It was difficult and still is that I’m lightly recovering because after all with the removal of my uterus and cervix, they had to stitch me up inside and that causes a lot of bleeding. Pain is off and on. Intense to lightly there, to nothing at all. It’s frustrating to recover for 6 weeks and basically do nothing but walk and even that is exhausting.
I have four weeks to go but that bleeding can continue for a bit longer but luckily, I have a follow up appointment with my surgeon aka the skilled doctor from Cornell, did I mention that? anyhow, to see my progress in 12 weeks from the surgery so that lands me in July. Not to mention that I have my birthday and a wedding for a dear friend of mine on 16th of August, plus I’m doing a hernia surgery on October 05, if the date is correct and I’ll be again cut open with tiny slits in my stomach and have that hernia taken care of. I’m exasperated by surgeries and hope that for a good long while that I don’t have to have anymore at least until the later back surgery in my future. Spine is slowly sliding out of place but the effects of that won’t happen until I’m much much older as I’m in the beginning stages of that.
My husband and my aunt, whom I always see as a mother have been taking care of me and I appreciate them. I really do. I just can’t stand the pain a lot of the times and it sucks that I’m still so limited in what I can do as a person that came from a very intense surgery to get rid of a problem that I didn’t know that was plaguing me. At least I won’t have to worry about cervical cancer, honestly or pap smears. I’ve been hanging out with my husband more–watching anime and completing video games that are current like Resident Evil 9, Silent Hill F, and now Pragmata. Just finding the time to spend with my husband and be mindless about video games are awesome. I’m sad that a lot of these problems were over looked and I could have been doing pelvic floor therapy which wouldn’t have helped me in the long run and wait even longer in pain to get this surgery. I just miss being at work and being fully functional again and it sucks that the body takes time and I’m impatient. That’s how it goes, doesn’t it? Always? Anyhow, new layout will be done though I’m unsure about the changes in my husband’s life especially in the work force as they have cut his position and he’ll be going back to the bank call center to do fraud prevention. It sucks. I don’t know how he’ll survive the change from IT Tech to now Fraud Analyst.
That’s more of a intensive job change, because he has to take calls and help customers but I’m mainly worried about the state of his teeth and the car. I’m trying to be good with money and have been for the most part. In the end, I’m worried about a lot of things when I should be concerned about my recovery which is taking its sweet time, at least that I have short term disability paying me until I go back to work despite a mishap which I fixed. In the end, medical things suck so badly because of the cost and time. Oh well.
