No Pain, No Gain

Well for the past 9 years I have been dealing with pain in my lower area, you know what I mean. It has just kind of been a part of Chris and I's life. Not fun! But yet a reality for the both of us. We have been to many Doctors and tested different things here and there. Each time thinking we hope this helps. So we have found out I have PCOS (poly cystic Ovary Syndrome) and thought possibly Endometriosis. Well the past four weeks haven't been that greatest for me. What I thought was keeping the pain gone by getting an IUD and eating incredibly well. All of a sudden wasn't doing the trick. Of course I started falling apart right when Chris's test is like around the corner and behind us thank goodness. I have now had another ultra sound, CT scan, and ended with last Friday getting Laparoscopy surgery. Three small incisions. One below the belly button. two others one on each side. So not to bad. I got a call Thursday saying they could do the it on Friday. So it was crazy but truly I felt like everything was lined up for it to work out. I couldn't of done it with out great friends who watched my kids and all the help. Especially Chris who was awesome! They filled my stomach with 3.5 liters of air and some fluid. So when I was done I looked 20 weeks pregnant. Not the best part. I was sore as can be. I slept all weekend. Every time I would stand up the air would rise to my shoulder blades which hurt and I think was the worst part. It took me forever to wake up after the surgery. Drugs work a little to well in my system. It took me an extra hour and half to wake up from surgery. I know I was so loopy. I talked so funny from having a tube down my throat the kids kept saying what is wrong with your voice. Trying to Eat was a trick cause it was so dry so I just didn't really eat for those first two days. It wouldn't go down. I expected to be in and out and great by Saturday well its Wednesday now and I am so tired. My stomach is going down thank goodness. Chris and I have a trip coming up just the two of us to Charleston, Sc.
The Good news is they didn't find any active endometriosis. So I might not have it! Yahoo! They took a biopsy to the lap to see if it might be microscopic.

So actually its now Friday and the lab results came back normal. So yahoo! I don't have endometriosis. They did find some scar tissue tugging on my bladder and one of other area of my body so they released that and are hopeful that I might not have any more trouble. My stomach is almost back to it original size. Thank goodness. Nothing against a pregnant belly but ya I didn't just have a baby so I think some people have been wondering if I was pregnant since with my record I should be getting pregnant but NO! We aren't going to be following that pattern for a while. I need a break. Breath! I do think we will have more but not so much right now. So hopefully that clears that up.

All things considered we are hopeful once again that things might be looking up. This would be so huge for my family. So I would say I am glad I got the surgery. NO PAIN, NO GAIN.
