Okay first off I need the name of the place here in WA state that a blogger friend is having her egg donation from. Sorry but if you mentioned I can't remember the place. I'm planning on doing just two more rounds of treatment with my own eggs then I'll move onto the frozen donor eggs. If you are reading this blog post please email with the name of the clinic.
Today at 0930 hrs I had another appointment to get my cyst looked at. Now I have a surgical consult set for 1300hrs today. We are scheduling surgery for Thursday. I can't take this pain any longer.
I was read the risks and warnings before I signed my consent form. I'm well aware I could lose my best producing ovary. If Lt.Col. B. or Dr. C. does the surgery they know that I want the endometriosis taken care of too. If however, I'm playing Russian Roulette right now with the surgeons schedules, I end up with someone from OB/GYN they aren't aware of this extra.
I'll be having at minimum three small incisions done. Maximum will be the full lap and I'll have a bikini c-section scar. Much as I don't like the idea of scaring or adhesions I'm tired of being in pain and waiting to get things fixed. I cried in the office today.
If I want the pain managed it would mean me being admitted today and then I'd be bumped up to tomorrow where who the heck knows will perform the surgery.
I did ask again if they could just drain it. The cyst isn't shrinking. My E2 rebounded as soon as I got off the ganirelix. I can't win.
Oh and poor J does have a hernia. I was right on that one. It doesn't hurt all that much he says. His pain is mostly his pulled back muscle. I had done a hernia check on J weeks ago when he first presented to me with pain and swelling in the region. Geez, I should have been a doctor. I knew where to check him and how to check him too. Thankfully it can be easily fixed with a bit of screening. His pain is just one of the reasons I've been putting off getting my stuff done. And yes this is typical Army wives. We are used to taking a back seat.
Glad yo are finally scheduled and hopefully everything will be taken care of. Sorry J has a hernia. I hope he gets it fixed soon and both of you are in a lot less pain soon.
ReplyDeleteI just hate the fact that he has to wait because of my surgery. At least he isn't in pain from the hernia as its the type that is usually quite painless.
DeleteI am glad you are getting things fixed up. you need to be able to live in limited or zero pain. I wish you luck on your surgery and hope that you come out of this ready to take on the world.
ReplyDeleteHopefully its just a really simple thing tomorrow. I'm hoping that I don't get adhesions.
DeleteOh I'm so glad to hear they finally agreed to do surgery. I hope you get Dr. B or C so you can have Endo managed as well. I totally get the frustration with pain and waiting for a much needed surgery. I really hope its a successful one and recovery is smooth. Thinking of you friend. Please keep us all updated after surgery when you can! Big big hugs
ReplyDeleteI found out today that its being moved up to 0600 hrs tomorrow. Dr.B, Dr.C. or Lt.Col. B. will most likely be one of the one doing it.
