I never got to update on how post op went. Apparently there was miscommunication between my Doctor relaying information to my Mom after surgery. When I sat down at post op I sarcastically said well how come you didn't unstick me? He basically looked confused. So what was found was my right ovary was stuck to my sigmoid colon. He was able to unstick it thankfully and there was a spot he cut out in that area too. He then didn't want that issue happening with the left ovary so he tried to suture it out of the way and when he did I went into Bradycardia, he then released the ovary back down and tried to do it again and the same happened so he was unable to move it out of the way.
So let me kind of break it down because many just think that I am now healed because everything isn't stuck together. I am not healed. There is NO cure for Endometriosis. Because it took me 10 years to be diagnosed, plus two ablation surgeries which messed me up in the long run, my body will never function like a normal body. I used to be able to eat whatever the hell I wanted, now I can't. I have to write down what I eat everyday and figure out what triggers me and what doesn't. I went from being skinny to blowing up like a tick. Then there is the awesome brain fog and constant fatigue. So unfortunately this isn't a cure all but I am lucky and fortunate to have found the right surgeon.
So now that all of that is put to rest because I am tired of repeating myself for the last 15 years, I have to say I am grateful for the very small amount of people I have standing by me. I literally don't know what I'd do without my parents. And, well funny thing happened when I was recovering. I won't get into the super details but I met someone. I will say that I have been praying for someone like him. He was there for me during my entire recovery and I am grateful for that. He also took the time out to research Endo and no one has ever done that. So I guess I will keep him around. But I will say that having him in my life made my recovery easier. So there's that added bonus to my life.
