Thanks for all your input. I was reading it heading into surgery & it helped. The doctor removed the right tube. He said he used to try to just remove the pregnancy and save the tube, but found it caused scarring and reocurring ectopics. It went relatively quickly and I went home 3.5hours after surgery.
today is 4 days passed surgery and I woke up feeling fine. Which means I overdid things and now I feel terrible. It may be because I've run out of panadeine forte and AF arrived with a vengence. I dont feel well enough to drive yet. The biggest thing is not being able to bend down or carry things, so I cant even put a load of washing on. DH is home this week which is great but he's away next week so I hope I am able to do more things then.
as the physical pain improves, the emotional pain is kicking in. We lost another baby and part of my fertility. It just sucks. I feel like I cant do anything right.
L&B life has been so cruel to you over the last few years. Saying I am so sorry just doesn't cut it. I'm hoping like hell for you that you get to take your baby home soon. Thinking of you xxx
L & B, I haven't been on for so long. In fact I smiled when I saw your name with moderator underneath it. I'm so sorry you are going through this..........
Mildez - can i ask you about an incision scar as I cant really ask the doctor. The right side hurts like I've been stabbed/punched. I had the stitches out 3 days after surgery and the nice plastic thingies replaced by little strips of gauze. They dropped off about day 4 and I put some of those waterproof bandaid things over 3 of the incisions. I took them all off tonight. The right one still doesnt look completely closed so I've put another bandaid thingy over it. It's not a big one so I'll replace it tomorrow. The other incisions look ok.
should i be worried or make an appt with the doctor soon? Or is this normal? I'll be 10 days post surgery tomorrow.
I think it sounds ok. It sounds like the skin is not closed properly so you can probably see the layer underneath the skin maybe which does happen. It should heal normally still just take a little longer. You will have internal stitchers also. As for the pain if it seems to be getting worse not better you should get that checked out. Got to run to work.
