Got my exploratory surgery out of the way. Kinda turned out bad....

I had a bad reaction to anesthesia and blood pressure dropped more than what is considered normal. my eyes swelled as well. that's going down, thank goodness. but im far worse than anyone thought.

I am severely clogged up in my uterus, and infection has spread to ovaries, uterus and cervix, soI have no choice but to get it all removed. they are also doing a biopsy; could be cancer. so just pray for me that it is not cancer. regardless, i have to lose everything in me and that alone is a mind bender. im going for a follow up soon here to find out exactly what's going on.

I'm scared as hell but trying to remain positive through it all. The good thing is that they went through my belly button so that's not /as/ painful, but I can't hug anyone too well. I'm on some good pain killers which is helping some. Kinda keeping my mind from freaking out over this like it could be doing.

Wow... that's really harsh.
As long as you have good support around you and you stay positive, you can get through it all.

Sorry to hear about all this.

Take it easy

I'm so sorry to hear this!

I hope everything turns out ok. And I will send many positive thoughts your way.

Thank you, all. It was news I was not expecting.

At least now I know that those free clinic drs i went to for the past 10 plus years were wrong when they said it was all in my head. I was cramping severely 22-25 days out of the month, every month. Was always told it was in my head or normal cramps. pft.

So now this. Makes me wonder why it took this long to find a dr that honestly cared and took my word and actually tested me to find out.

Sending you my best sarra1833. Be kind to yourself through this hard time and take strength from the love around you.

Much love to you x

Oh wow! That's a lot to deal with, especially since it is not your choice to have the hysterectomy......you may want to read about side effects you may experience at first. ..that way you will understand any moodiness if you have any ..but many have experienced moodiness after this type of surgery. Your hormones have a lot to do with balancing your moods, and when you have surgery like this it can effect them/ you. ..but there are also others who don't have any side effects.
Either way, you must be in pain right now, and soon you will not be!

Thanks.

I'll send all the positive vibes and love I can muster your way.
A virtual hug to you

Awww Sarra. I'm so sorry to hear this.

Head up girl. You are strong and you'll be fine. I know it's scary and overpowering - but stay focused on the good. The doctors are involved, you know what needs to be done, and the hard part is temporary.

You're going to beat this and be fine before you know it!

As always, my inbox is open and I am always happy to talk!

You've got a lot of folks pulling for ya Sarra. Me included.

~Heff

Yikes!

Chin up though, you've been through worse and you've made it out just fine. This will be no differnet

~Tenth

Discovered I got some issues with my lil ol' bod the other week too...
Nothing compared to what you're going through though, so my thoughts are with you.

you are braver than you believe,

stronger than you seem

and smarter than you think.

I love you all so much.

Heck sweetpea I don't know what to say
Guess I can only try and use the force a bit to help you out, If you need anything just ask.
Take care xxx.

In a perfect world, you wouldn't have to worry about your job while recovering from this. I'm hoping that world overlay's yours now and everything turns out ok. Recover strong!

I'm sooooo sorry you are having to go through this. I can't even imagine it really...

You are not alone though, we're here for you!

I'll keep you in my prayers or send positive (((vibes))), whichever you prefer.

I'm not truly religious despite having been raised Methodist for 20 years of my life. To me, anything and all things positive from the heart and soul count fully. And they are appreciated so so much.

You seem pretty well balanced to me. Try taking 2500-3500 IU vitamin D every day. Everyone should do this because vitamin D helps so many processes in the body. Also you should be taking lipsomal vitaminC. Whatever happens, you can deal with it and turn it into spiritual growth. Be at peace.
