I'm home

Wow. I wish that I had been prepared for how miserable that surgery was. The good news is that they were able to do it laparoscopically. The bad news is that when they got in there, they found a ton of scar tissue that had fused my bladder to my uterus. They also found a large amount of endometriosis. So since they had to remove all that scar tissue and the endometriosis, I am in a lot of pain. The doctor said that they almost had to go ahead and make the incision, but they were able to just barely get by. So now I have a c-section scar that is close to being hip to hip, two two-inch scars on either side of my belly, and a large puncture in my belly button. It's a good thing that scars don't bother me! They were only going to make me stay Wednesday night, but I spiked a fever and was having problems with my pulse, oxygen levels, and diminished lung sounds, so I had to stay another night. But I can't tell you how nice it feels to be laying in my own bed! With my sweet kids laying by me! My doctor said that I am on complete bedrest for 5-6 days, and that I am not aloud to lift anything heavier than 10 pounds for four weeks. Yeah, I don't think that is going to happen. Maybe the bedrest, but not the lifting part.

Sorry if I am rambling, I am still heavily medicated. I may not make much sense at all right now! Thank you to everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and messages!

I'm so glad to hear that you are home and hanging in there! Sorry you are in so much pain, but listen to the docs and try not to lift too much (only one baby at a time!) or you could wind up back in the hospital!
