A lot of things have been happening. Where do I even begin? Well, I had a total laproscopic assisted vaginal hysterectomy on September 20th. I also had my gallbladder removed at the same time. The surgery took a lot longer that it should have. Only supposed to be 3 hours, more like 5 hours. Yay!! Reason for that was when I had my C-section with Jonathan my uterus never shrank back and it attached itself to my abdominal wall and it remained enlarged. So my uterus was 3x the normal size. My parents moved back here on the 14th of September. Which was supposed to be a good thing, but I will save that for a separate post. I need to have a blood transfusion, I lost a lot of blood during surgery and I needed 2 units. I stayed in the hospital until the 24th and was finally able to go home. Very sore and very tired.
I was taking a nap and I started feeling warm water flowing over me in a dream like state. It sort iof woke me up a little and I realized it was not a dream and I was flowing blood from my vagina. That was not supposed to be happening. Until this point I had only a light pink barely there discharge. Called my on-call doctor right away. We were told to wait and come in to see my doctor in the morning. We did that and she said to come in and see here NOW. She did and exam and could not see where the blood was coming from. So she sent me back to the hospital for observations. Yippee! I only managed to stay 4 hours instead of the 24 hours my doctor wanted. Reason, we live 2 hours from the hospital, no money for more gas or any other ride there. So my blood count stayed good, it only went down one point. So she let me go home on the promise that I will be super careful. I promised.
10 days later I felt a rip after I sneezed. I did not think anything of it as I was still laying in bed. I got up to tinkle and a HUGE blood clot fell out of me. And they kept on coming out. I wold cough, sit , stand, yell, anything and they would just fall out. Called the doctor, she told me to head to the hospital. Went in the ER, they got me back into a room. Doc came in and she did an exam. Said I tore a great big hole in my stitched cuff. She said that she needed to go back in and sew me back up. So they sent me upstairs to a room and told me they would do the operation at about 7am. Fine with that. I went to sleep and Jason took Jonathan home. Nurses came and went all night. My OR nurse came and got me about 7:30am and wheeled me away. I was told this was going to be so easy, that it would be over in just 30 minutes. Sigh, awesome. More sleep. lol. Next thing I know, I wake up and it is 4:30pm and my husband is on his way to see me. Turns out, I had been torn completely open and my skin just kept tearing and tearing everywhere she would put the needle. Also, turns out I woke up two times and they had to put me back out. Thank goodness I don't remember that!!
The next evening I was even still bleeding. My doctor came in and check me out and she said I would have to be packed over night. O.O She put about 3 feet of of cheese cloth like gauze in my hooha! that was not actually too bad. As long s I did not sit straight up. She came in the next morning and removed it. The bleeding slowed and finally I was able to go home the next day. Doctor ordered bed rest. No getting up for anything. I could only get up to got potty. On the 24th of October I saw her for a check up. All looks good and I barely have a discharge. In 3 more weeks I go back to see about starting my 'wifely duties' back as she called it. lol :D I guess I will let you know how it goes from then.
I am doing good now. I had to get a better medicine for sleeping.
