I've been kind of numb since scheduling surgery. I don't even know what number lap this will be (my best guess is like 7 or 8), but it will be surgery number 14 for me. I have done this so many times I know what to expect from the surgical point of view. I just want to know what's going on in there *pokes abdomen*
There's a 0-5% chance it's endo. Most likely it's adhesions. Perhaps aliens have been doing secret testing on me. Matt always thought we should install a hot chocolate machine in my abdomen, since it has a void, and perhaps the cool wHip nozzle came loose.
Last night the pain was really bad. It made me very crabby. I had to take extra Vicodin. Idk how Justin2 put up with me, but I'm glad he did. He's pretty awesome.
Today I've had a couple of dreams I know that have been inspired by recent events. Been really tired and worn out so been doing a lot of sleeping. That and I don't hurt when sleeping.
The first one was I was in some place where teenagers were gathered, and one chick had to take a pregnancy test, and I happened to overhear the whole thing. I remember leaving the place and decided to walk to where my family was, but stopped by a bar and had some tequila, and then I stopped at a Dairy Queen for ice cream.
Then this afternoon while I napped, I had a dream I was walking and had all sorts of thoughts going thru my head, and the one I really remember was that I was feeling horrible that I could never tell my significant other that I was pregnant.
So yeah, meh.
But on to good news.
My dad has been experiencing some health problems lately, and been trying to find a doctor who can help him (I told him to just go to my ENT but he wouldn't listen, so after seeing a couple of different doctors, one referred him to my ENT, and I'm very amused). Many of you know how that goes, and just how draining and depressing it is dealing with daily pain and not knowing if answers will be found or if relief in any sort is out there. So I told him that he and I need to go do something fun; to forget about our health crap. We might have figured out something (and might include my mom if she's interested and if she behaves), just working out the details. But he seems pretty excited about it and so am I!
So yeah, not much else going on, which is fine with me.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that has really bizarre dreams (and remembers them).
ReplyDeleteMy latest dream I remember is from two nights ago. I was pregnant and the baby was doing rapid flips in my stomach (in fact, I even remember at one point I could see what the baby was doing) It was really weird and I was really worried that something was wrong because I didn't think a baby should be so active.
I still remember how that felt inside my stomach and how bizarre it felt.
I'm sorry you're having another surgery but I totally get wanting answers. It sucks to wonder whats up and not have an easier solution to this mess.
ReplyDeleteI hope you have so much fun on your outing. Take a break, relax, get out. Thats always fun!
Damn, Sonja. I wish you weren't in so much pain. It's frustrating to read about, so I can only imagine how frustrating it is to live it.
ReplyDeleteI really really really hope that everything is resolved with this surgery. *hugs*
I am so sorry you are in pain. Nobody should have to live like that.
ReplyDeleteI think it is wonderful that you can plan time with your Dad. I never got along with my Father. What a waste. We should have been friends.
ReplyDeleteYay for Dad time!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about your next surgery, but I would want to know the answer too. Hell I want to know your answers and my answers! Hope the pain lightens up!
xoxo
