Surgery

I know I'm way late on this. I had written a post later that day of the first appointment at the pain clinic, but I just couldn't seem to get everything out. No matter how much I wrote, or how many different ways I tried to explain it.. Just didn't give my thoughts justice. But now it's been too long, so here is an update on what's been going on.


October 10th
This new doctor was so amazing. He isn't there to try to cure me or anything with my diseases. But to help live with the pain. To be able to get my quality of life back basically. When I don't take anything for the pain I am laying on the couch (or in bed) all day long. And that's just not fair to my son. I'm twenty four years old. I should be playing with him not watching him play by himself. And this doctor completely agreed with me. So I go once a month to get medication to help with that.

What's going on now?
About a month ago I started watching my good friend's daughter three days a week. I bring Isaac with me, so that's fun for him. It's good for him to be able to interact with another child his age. So far, they don't get along much but that just takes time for them to both get used to eachother and learn how to share haha. It was going good, but each day it was getting harder to get up, and the pain was getting worse. So now not only was it unfair to Isaac, but Melanie too. Watching movies all day inside because I have to sit with my heating pad all day long.. what fun is that for two kids? So I made an appointment with my doctor.

November 14th is surgery, AGAIN. They are going in and removing all endo and removing my right ovary. I am getting cysts almost every month on the right one, and more endo grows on that one than on the left. So, right now leaving it is just causing more harm than good. I'm not really scared to have the surgery, it's the after that worries me. If I go and remove it, and I don't get any relief. I don't want to do this for literally nothing.

I guess that's all for now, once I'm recovered I should be able to write more frequently.
xo.
