Emergency lap thanks for the help!!

So i have just got back from hospital after having an emergency lap. I was admitted with appendicitis however when i came round they said my appendix galbladder etc was fine so left it in however they found that a cyst on my right overy had ruprutured so they treated this.

I have posted on here a couple of times as i was told by my doc that i had pcos and suspected endo but was still waiting for investigation. When they did the lap they did not mention finding any endo however as it was not diagnosic they just treaed what they could see as the main cause for concern.

But anyways im rambling now (i blame the meds) what i wanted to say however was that the past 24 hrs completely freaked me out and im not gonna lie i was bricking it going into the op (this is the first op iv ever had) but after following this page for a while and seeing and remembering everything you are all going through and the thought that people have this and much more complicated operations day in day out gave me the strength to not completely lose it. I may have to go through more tests or ops (i am optimistic that this could be the help i needed) but i just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the support you shown to each other everyday and to say keep on fighting 😘😘

Well done for getting through the emergency op. That must be very scary when it's unplanned and uncertain and out of the blue like that.

Hope you are recovering well xxxx

Hope your OK and glad they took you seriously eventually. Sad you had to go through so much pain I don't know but sometimes I think they think we exaggerate our pain. I don't know I just get that feeling sometimes. Rest up and hope you feeling much better soon xxx

I know exactly what u mean i was getting to the stage where even i was doubting myself but i knew there was something wrong. There were so many mistakes and misdiagnosis made along the way!! Thank you it so nice that there is a community like this that can help each other get through it all and help understand whats going on its so isolating when u look fine but feel like a crippling old woman!! i am working on my recovery and sending big hugs to everyone thanks for your support 😚 xx
