Post Operation update

Hey all,

Sorry that I havn't updated since the Surgery, but been a little out of it hehehehe. Drugs were my friend. I'm still on some pain killers, but it's better than it was even yesterday. Hopefully won't need any more by tomorrow morning so I can take care of chillins. But I digress. So I spoke with my OBGYN Dr. today (the one that did the surgery), and he explained to me what is going on. All I can say is thank god that I started my period two days before the surgery or they wouldn't have found this. So I don't have endometriosis, nor are things fused together. The reason I am having the pain is as follows (if your squemish you might not want to read it): I am bleeding heavy enough now that it is backing up in my uterus, and rather than exiting through the cervix and vagina like it is supposed to, it is causing it to go also out my fillopean tubes and the blood is collecting in the rectouterine pouch (it's the sac, or free space, between the rectum and the uterus that is formed by a folding of the peritoneum). That is what is causing me the major pain and discomfort during my menstrual cycle. He's putting me on yaz to try and decrease my amount of flow, and to regulate it off of the 5 week cycle it's been on. We're thinking that has something to do with how heavy my period has been since it has never been as heavy as it is now.
Gotta love it, each of my children has given me a gift from their birth.... Serena's gets to be this.... shesh. But not going to go into that. I'm just happy that today I am doing a lot better than I was yesterday. Unfortunantly Chris was unable to return to work today to take care of me and the kids, well mostly the kids. Tomorrow I should be up to going back to my daily activies, alibit slowly. So here's to hoping right! Well gotta go catch the baby again, she's climbing the couch again *sigh*. Yeah babies!

My Love to all and ttyas
