Death to Polly!

Surgery was fun. Good recovery... felt really great until about the 24 hour mark then kind of hit a wall. Maybe the anesthesia and drugs are wearing off... and my maryjane is kicking back in hehe... I need to go pick up my vicodin at the pharm and see if it agrees with me.

The gross details if you're interested....

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

So I had a 1 cm diameter polyp growing in my uterus. I was horribly misdiagnosed by my original doctor, who ended up making the situation worse. By the time I was able to get to a new doc, I was diagnosed right away, but with all the testing, consults and scheduling of surgery another 4 months has gone by. Which means that up until this surgery, I had been bleeding for about 15 months straight. All it took was a 45 minute procedure (basically a D&C/abortion with camera involvement - yes, Polly the polyp was aborted) to end 15 fucking months of bleeding non-stop. We're not talking spotting here and there... it started out as that, but quickly became a regular steady flow, all day, every day. I had my surgery last night at about 5 pm, and by about 10pm I was DONE... NO MORE BLEEDING! So amazing... Yay for getting my vag back! I want to celebrate, but have to "be good" for 2 more weeks!

Now THAT is exciting news! One of my girlfriends has been battling polyps since she was 15 and has just recently started showing symptoms of a new one. I get to see the excruciating pain she's been going through so I can imagine what you've been feeling for so long. Brutal! I'm soooo glad you're recovering finally. And, hehe...I still have my Volvo too. My husband hates it because it's been a bit of a money pit so far (kind of like Penny, lol) but I love them both so much. So after a bit of tantrum throwing the sale of the Volvo has been postponed indefinitely. I guess he loves me. smile I will take some pics of the interior and stuff later and post them for you.
biggrin
