Surgery and More

I am sorry I haven't updated yet after my surgery. Much has happened :)

Surgery went well. It was longer and more involved then initially expected. Dr. W. did a deep excision of endo under the right uterosacral ligament (2 places), the posterior cul-de-sac, and the endometrioma in the right abdominal wall. The endometrioma actually went through to the peritoneum, and she could see a collection of old "chocolate" material with the laparoscope. Because the lesion was so deep, I ended up needing a mini laparotomy, not a simple excision. Surgery was supposed to take an hour and a half, and ended up taking nearly 3 hours.

I woke up and felt OK, just very tired and very stoned. I did not get sick :D (a BIG thank you to my anaesthetist. I didn't get to see her after surgery, but she was great! Know you are VERY appreciated!) I didn't stay in the PACU very long, I then went to my room. The first few hours are a bit of a blur. I might have been sleeping, but I might have just had my eyes closed, I don't know. I remember looking at the clock every 10-20 minutes or so. I also really had to pee, but I couldn't because I was way too dizzy when I tried to sit up on my own.

Eventually I was able to get up, and I also go my cell phone (dangerous). Evidently the guy in the room next to me couldn't feel his penis. And, I, in my highly medicated state thought it was the funniest thing ever and decided to text most of the people in my phone about it. At 2 am. Again, guys, I am sorry...

I couldn't sleep, so I ended up talking nutrition with the night nurse for quite a while. Damn, those heparin shots hurt. I still have bruises. I am really tired and this is starting to get random. I will continue in the morning if I am not so exhausted and sore.
