Heres my story of what happened yesterday and today...
I returned back from hospital today at lunch time. Yesterday I turned up at the hospital by 4pm (after I had been fasting for a couple of days and nil by mouth at 10am). I went through the admin process and went upstairs to the outpatient waiting room. My Dr was running a long way behind schedule by approx 3 hours. After an hour or so they said that it will be even later. I was the fourth on my Drs list and he took his first in at about 6pm. So they organised a room for me to stay the night. DH stayed with me. I put my gown and lower leg stockings on. At around 945pm the orderly came in to get me. He wheeled me around on the bed to the operating theatre and DH said his goodbye and see you laters. Everyone at the hospital was lovely, the anesthesiologest had a good sense of humour too. The anesthesiologists assistant came out in the holding room first and went through some paper work, the my Dr came out, and then the anesthesiologists himself. He put a canulae in and then put some madazolam in, he said it will hit me pretty hard. I think I only remembered about 30 seconds max after that, and that was going through the main operating theatre doors.
I woke up at about 130am today in the recovery room as he didn't finish until late. When I woke up I was in pain, major lower abdominal cramping. They wheeled me staight into my room, I was still in pain, so they gave me some morphine and zofran which took the edge off and I was able to sleep. They also kept me on a drip. I had my BP and other vitals checked periodically through the night, and I had to get up every now and then and go to the toilet because of the drip (which I had to wheel around with me). I had my breakfast in hospital, and left around 1100am today.
So now its recovery time. I have 4 keyholes wounds in my abdomen, one in the belly button, one on each side plus an extra on on the right. They put in self disolving internal stitches and steri strips and tegraderm on the outside. My Dr will be giving me a call about 6pm tonight, his secretary said that it all went well. I had a laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, D&C, dye, myomectomy, excision of uterine septum, and laparoscopic excision of endometriosis. So by the sounds of it, I did have some endo of some sort. I have made an appointment with the Dr next Tuesday for follow up and results. For now they are getting me to take Panadine Forte and Voltarin every day. They sent me home on endone and a Zofran tablet. I do not have shoulder tip or pain from the air which is lucky, but I do have green urine which looks funny
I a looking forward to hearing from the Dr as it sounds like good news
