How was recovery? How well did the surgery help? It helped confirm Endometriosis but that’s all because while they took out some samples, they didn’t take it out fully and instead took pictures of the insides of me and my pelvis where it was currently at. I thought or had thought they were going to do more but it explains all my symptoms including the ulcer no doubt since that shit is linked. But since it came back worse than ever, I’m having to see a specialist and probably be put on heavy medications which worry me greatly because of their side effects and whatnot. It leaves you with chronic pain since again, Endometriosis is the uterus lining grows anywhere. A full or even partial hysterectomy wasn’t considered because of my age and the effects of it on my other organs plus menopause happening soon after. And I’d have to take hormone shots and whatnot plus the damage it would do to my brain and whatnot; so that was a no go. Plus I’m getting into Pelvic therapy because of where the Endometriosis was at and how it’s affected that area badly.

So, it happened- I had my surgery and I had endometriosis, very badly and they also managed to scrap a lot of it away which is great but recovery time in two weeks for me and then I’ll return back to work on the 14th of December. I miss it. I miss being active and hate having to rest but I gotta because they did the surgery laparoscopic, and man does it hurt still. They gave me strong medication for the pain but I’m using it sparingly because it is a schedule II narcotic and I could get addicted and I don’t want that. Anyhow, I’m doing better since I had the surgery on the 24th, a few days before Thanksgiving. Better than missing out on Christmas. Plus, I made it to my deducible and out of pocket costs if you aren’t familiar with US private health care insurance. Once you reach a certain amount you pay for, then, your insurance company covers the rest of the year until the 31st of December. Then it rolls around for next year to meet a new deducible.
