I was feeling ok going into today's appointment with the dr. I mean, it was just a consult to see when I could get the D&C done, or so I thought. She told me that I should have opted to have the procedure done in the US as it is quite difficult to get OR time now. Oh shit. I can't wait until Spetmber. I was totally kicking myself for not just sucking it up and going ahead with it when I had the chance.
The dr recommended trying an endometrial biopsy to 'suck' the blood clot out (how is that for irony). I agreed. I was unprepared, alone and without drugs. She gave me two T1s from her personal stack along with two Ad.vils. It was no where near enough. That was one of the most painful experiences of my life. I lay on that table, with tears running down my cheeks and my iPo.d in my ears litening to my Glee song, "Don't Stop Believing". The last time I heard that songs that way was on the transfer table.
She was able to get the clot out and now I am finally done with this disasterous nightmare. I am still in a lot of pain and soreness, but I guess that is to be expected from an hysteroscopy and biopsy two days apart. For now, T2s are my new BFF.
I spent the rest of the day wiht my mom doing mother-daughter things (lunch, shopping and mani/pedis) while I was dopped up on pain killers and tonight I have a bridal shower for my SIL. I hope I can make it through the night.
Thanks again, for all the support.

Oh my goodness. OUCH. Hope the pain lessens as the night wears on.
ReplyDeleteHoping that your evening's distractions will lessen the pain...that sounds brutally painful! But it's gone and hopefully tomorrow is a fresh start!!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a day! I'm so sorry you missed your opportunity for a D&C, but I'm glad that the biopsy worked and was at least over quickly. I'm sure the pain was bad, and I'm so sorry. But now you are on your way again. I hope you have a good evening.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry...you're going through so much and to have to go to a bridal shower tonight?! You are so strong. I hope that you can move on now and put this whole ordeal behind you. Sometimes moving forward is all you can do and it is what helps to heal us in the process. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like a rough few days. I hope the T2s help with the pain!!

I'm so sorry you had to go through such pain and yuckiness, but so glad you had your mom with you for the rest of the day and that the clot is outta there.
ReplyDeleteI was serious about the cookies, btw. Just e-mail me your mailing address and I'm on it. They're awful yummy.
Oh no, that is awful. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you had to go through that. Hoping things only get better from here on out.
ReplyDeleteHere is a funny but true story to make you laugh.
ReplyDeleteA few years ago, I taught math in southern California. In a sixth grade math class, I was teaching median. I could have been one of those teachers that just explained the median was the middle number or average of the middle numbers when ordered. However, I am not that type and I like to relate what I teach to real life. So, I brought in an article about the median home price for the area we lived in. We discussed how expensive it was to by a house (I think it was higher than it is today) and why newspapers choose the median rather than the average to portray home prices .
A student raised his hand and I called on him. He told me he didn't live in a house, he lived in a condom. The rest of the class erupted in laughter. I had to think about it. What in the world? I then I realized what he meant. Do you mean you live in a condominium? He said yes. He did not understand why everyone was laughing. I told him he lived in a condo.

Oh, I am so sorry you had to go through that R! Fingers and toes are crossed for a speedy recovery. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so so sorry you had such a painful experience. But I am glad you had Glee with you to help you through. If any music can help, it's Glee. :) I hope the next few days are better and that you feel stronger every day. Thinking of you!
