I’m home!!!!

Just got home this morning from hospital (more like a hotel than a hospital!)

Surgeon found a little bit of endo on the back of my uterus and a tiny bit on my bowel. He also said there was a lot of blood in my veins around my uterus similar to varicose veins

He said he can treat that with drugs but it is a very high dose of contraception and may affect my future fertility, also has a high rate of depression and weight gain side effects, so he said he wasn't comfortable giving me that. He hopes that removing the endo will sort my pain out if that is what has been the cause, or else I'll have to manage the vein stuff with pain killers. Good news is though that my baby making bits are all "pristine" So in his professional opinion he would like for us to have another baby asap as that would re-distribute the blood flow and get things moving better again.

I'm not in any pain from the holes in my tummy (3 holes) but the traped gas in my shoulder and under my ribs hurts like a be-a-tch!!!!
Any tips on getting the air moving - it's not in a place where a fart would fix it LOL

Hi! Just move as much as you can (hard hard hard I know) and stay upright. It takes a few days to pass :(

oohhh so is that good news then?    i dont know anything about this sort of thing sorry... glad you are home and private hospitals are great!!! let me know if i can do anything for you...

I'm using the wheat bag but it doesn't seem to be doing much and hurts even more when I put it bag in the microwave. Just called the Surgeon's rooms and they said that charchol (sp?) tablets helps so have just sent DH out

Thanks for the heads up re. the periods Kelly

I have actually been wondering how you were doing and had my fingers crossed for you Toni

Happy to hear it went well and that you're home already Hope you're feeling better soon! How long are you off work?

Passing the wind is the best way to get rid of the pain.

Good to hear things are all good thou.

Yay for being home! See you tomorrow with dinner!

Glad to hear it went well Toni. Take care

My C/S was a breeze too and I certainly don't remember having trapped air in stange places (like shoulders) after that. But I've only been given Brufen and Panadol this time, for the C/S I was on the good stuff (ahhhh morphine! lol)
