In recovery now

Comment Published at 16:5316:535 comments5 comments20 Visits20 VisitsReport

I'm not allowed to do anything and my body wouldn't let me anyway. Laparoscopy went well yesterday. I had 3 cysts in there. They showed me photos after. Pretty awesome seeing inside my own body. The ovary was bigger then my uterus when they pulled it out. The good one was so small compared to the one with the cysts. They got them all out and the doctor is confident that all is good with them. The ovary can grow more but fingers crossed. No wonder I started to feel them in the last few months. It wasn't unbareable pain though. Instead of 2 small incisions I ended up with 4 as 2 doctors were working on me. The pain that was in my shoulders was pretty bad last night as that is apparently from the gas that is pumped into my stomach during the operation. I went in at 1.30pm and was awake by 5pm and home by 8pm. The doctors and nurses at King Edward are amazing. This is my first ever operation but apart from feeling a little nervous I felt like I was in great hands. Don't know how long I can sit up now. Have to rest all day. Couldn't even make my own brekky or cuppa this morning. Feel like an invalid. LOL My son says I look like one too. LOL Gotta love em! They try to make me laugh though, little brats.

Re: In recovery now

hugs babe. yeah that shoulder pain is awful. i remember it was really bad when i had my gallbladder done as well as the 3 other keyholes i have had done. u do get used to it but LOL (not really)

i am really excited about my upcoming op. its really funny cause i have opted to get both my kness done at once so i dont have to go in again. LOL its right at the same time as my SIL wedding as us going away to moore river. LOL Chris is buying me a wheel chair off ebay atm.

I hope you get heaps of recovery as it does take awhile for ur body to recover this. it took me 2 weeks after my laparoscopy with my endo and them cutting away all the endo tissue on the to of my uterus and the cycts on my overies.

if ya need a hand ( i know u have  heaps of ppl) but u have my number. am not at tafe anymore so am home all the time.

HUGS chicki

luv Liz
