Hi everyone,
this is my first time to ever come to this board. Let me say that I had
a hyst. in March and this past Aug I had a rectocele, cystocele,
vaginal wall prolapse, MAJOR ADHESIONS, left overy removed as well as
excess tissue. That was 8 weeks ago. Last Monday I was sitting at the
computer chatting with some friends and I was actually starting to feel
somewhat better from that surgery, it has taken me along to get over
that one. I had alot of complications with it. Well I was sitting here
and all of the sudden out of the blue, I had this UNBELEIVABLE pain shot
down my left plevic bone. I had to leave the computer FAST and laid on
my couch in the fetal postition with a heating pad and stayed there
because I could not make it up to my bed. My husband wanted to take me
to the ER but I talked him out of. I was thinking it would go away. On
Tuesday it was just as bad so I called my GYN, he saw me, then rushed me
to a surgeon thinking it was a hernia. The surgeon did not think he
felt one, but with me just having surgery not too long ago he could not
be sure, so he rushed me to a CTScan. Got the results and nothing. So
the next day the Drs wanted me to do meneral oil to clean my colon,
thinking that might be the problem. Well I threw up, so needless to say
it did not work. On Thursday, I saw my gyn and he made another appt
with the surgeon to do the nerve block they had mentioned to me. I went
to the surgeons office and he did the block. We thought it
worked.....nope it is still here so now I have one option left that is
surgery. They finially believe me that I have adhesions that are really
bad again. I go this Wed to see the surgeon again and I guess we will
talk about when he will be doing the surgery. This makes my 5th surgery
since Aug 98. I am really scared, how many times can I temp faith? When
they do this surgery would they keep me in the hospital or would it be
out patient? My last surgery was over 5 hours long and I was in the
hospital for 9 days. I have a 3 year old and I can afford to be in
there that long again. I just need some information on this as much as
possible and I need support as well. I know none you know me and this
is my first time to post...but I am really scared this time.
Thank you, Cyn
