Sorry for late update.
I was in the hospital 10 hours yes 10 hours!
I was admitted at 7 am and called to change into gown. Then called at 8 am to sit on a waiting room on a arm chair.
I had to do a urine sample pregnancy test oh haha. And given stockings.
Then I was called to see my endo consultant. We went through it he asked if my symptoms were still there like by magic they would’ve gone 🤨 we agreed I would see my fertility doctor for a follow up afterwards.
Waited another hour in a waiting room and got talking to other ladies one next to me was also having endo surgery 😊
Luckily I was second on list and was collected for theatre at 9.40 am.
The theatre staff were lovely.
I went to theatre just before 10 am.
Surgery went on for 1 hour and 20 minutes.
Woke up in recovery room at 11.50 am.
In severe pain and was judged by staff for daring to want so much pain killers; I was made to feel like a wimp and when I kept scoring my pain to be 7 her reply? “ you just said that!” Eventually I felt okay and saw my endo consultant and he told me in basic terms what he had done; this is the good news part; he managed to clear all my endo 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 I have 5 incisions.
After the pain I was wheeled into a ward; I was made to be sat up and was told I needed to sit up and walk away straight away. I’d only just come in from recovery!!!
I was offered a drink and snacks. On trying to eat ( probably too soon) and told her I felt sick. I was told it was all
The painkillers I had!
They agreed to lower my bed and I went to sleep.
I came around and felt better so ate my toast and drank my tea.
She asked if I felt sick still I said no.
I got a nurse to help me get to the toilet ; this is where my stay became extended.
I bled heavily from vagina and diarrhoea come out 😳 this has been happening since my miscarriage in last July and one of the reasons the surgery was put forwards . He was supposed to check it during my lap.
So I got a nurse and told her what happened who went to speak a dr. Well another nurse cams trying to throw me out of the room!!! I had to really fight and insist I waited for the other nurse to let me know what the dr said 🤦🏽♀️ then she puzzled me what nurse 🤨 Eventually she found the nurse and was told the doctor was on their way; an hour later a doctor appeared. She was lovely and really listened to me when I told her what happened; and was very supportive. So much so she found my surgeon and wouldn’t let me go home till this had happened 👍 He has insisted that I see him because of this within a month originally I wasn’t due to see him ( even if I am better I have to go back) If it gets worse I need to go back sooner.
I had to wait another hour whilst they gathered my discharge notes, dressings and meds; he has given me morphine to help with pain which is great 👍
I have to phone my fertility consultant secretary to arrange a follow up appointment I get really well with her.
My mum wasn’t told I was back from recovery when she saw me on the trolley! I had to text her to tell her I was okay.
We left hospital at half 4! And encountered road accidents which made the journey take over 2 hours as opposed to the normal 1 hour it usually takes.
At least it wasn’t deep endo and has ALL been treated. I’m shattered.
Sorry for such a long post...x
