Weekend Recap....More Like Life Recap

It's been so long since I wrote last time has just flown by and life has been crazy busy with school and work. Last time I wrote I talked about my doctors appointment in which I would undergo surgery for endometriosis. Well I had my surgery a week ago today (last Friday) and it was a lot more complicated than we had anticipated. 

I honestly thought that I had been exaggerating on my pain that I was always experiencing. I thought that I had to exaggerate on it just to get a doctor to go ahead with the surgery and get some answers. I was always hearing Jason tell me that I couldn't take pain or I was a wuss. When my doctor came out to talk to Jason and my mom after my surgery she informed them that it was the worst case of endometriosis that she had ever seen in someone my age. She said she wasnt sure how I was walking around with the pain I was experiencing.  Jason then asked her what my chances of ever getting pregnant would be he knew that was the first thing that I would want to know when waking up. My doctor said that she tried her best to cauterize all of the endometriosis but she suspected that it was growing in my tubes and they were clogged in which there was nothing she could do for that. She informed Jason and my mom that before this surgery I had a zero percent chance of ever getting pregnant and I know only have a 10 percent chance. 

Lets face it this isnt at all what I expected to happen with this surgery. I thought I would go through with it and the problem would be taken care of no more pain all better. I guess that just wasn't the case. Ive had my moments over the past week in which it gets hard for me to think about, I wouldnt wish this on anyone. I have to go back for a follow up appointment in which I will find out what she suggests for my options and course of action to take. It will be a long road and no one said it will be easy but everything will be ok, there's a plan out there for everyone. 

Anyways for the past week I've been taking it easy, I'm finally starting to go stir crazy. The first couple days I was extremely sore and nautious, and no one ever warns you about the gas bubbles that may get stuck in your shoulder which are a pain...literally PAINFUL...but Im healing overall pretty well with my three small incisions and I'll be back to normal activity Monday and back to work!  Goodnight & happy Friday
