| TOILET HUMOUR ANYONE?! |
Recovery was going well and things were all positive on my last appointment with Dr J last Friday. Then Friday night when I went to the bathroom (hope this is not too much information BUT I did warn you I would tell everything here warts & all!) there was a large amount of blood after I had a bowel motion. I also had really bad stomach pains for hours after. I have never had anything like this before and thought it was very strange but tried not to panic.
It continued to happen so thinking it must be something to do with all the surgery I called Dr J Sunday morning & advised what was happening. First thing was getting me to stop several of the medications I was taking and go for a blood test. By Tuesday morning the bleeding had stopped and my blood test was normal but Dr J had spoken with a gastro Dr and wanted me to go & see him & possibly have a colonoscopy.
I just could not face another procedure after the past few weeks (I have had a colonoscpy before so I know what it entails). I explained all this to Dr J and after patiently listening to why I just didn't want to have another procedure, I go the OK not to see the specialist BUT if the bleeding started in any way again I was to go straight away.
The only remaining problem is the amount of pain I am in with my stomach which is gradually getting worse each day. It is now at the point where I am using heat packs and can not sit up for too long because the pain is too much. I guess logically there are a few reasons for it, I finished all pain medication last Friday and I also stopped provera. Dr J and the nurses in hospital also told me that the removal of endometriosis is very painful and can takes weeks to ease. Then there is the ovarian drilling, the whole point of this procedure in the first place. Stopping the provera should be bringing on a period so if there is activity like pmt cramping it also could be worse because of the drilling.
At the moment the idea of contacting any Dr and telling them about this pain and it resulting in them wanting to do tests OR put me in hospital is just too much to take. If I never saw another Dr or hospital again in my life it would be too soon. So I will wait this out a few more days and hopefully it improves.
