Hi All, I am going to update you all as much as I can on what has happened in the last few days. It has been very crazy and shocking.....
So I had pain, a week after my surgery on the 9th and ended up in A&E on Weds evening this week, they took bloods and found an infection and asked me to go for an ultrasound the next day at 11:45 to check there was anything left inside me, since my whole lower abdomen was inflamed and very sore. DH came with me on Thurs morning, and when we did the scan, to our horror and the sonographer's too, the entire foetus still in its sac, and all the contents were all still there!
We were in total shock, since last week we had an evac as there was no heartbeat on our reassure scan at 9 weeks. Sooooooooo.... after they double checked that all was ok (still no heartbeat or movement etc - just in case - it was a bit surreal) and took loads of photos to show the consultant we were admitted back into the ward and the Doc come to see us. The Doc spoke to the consultant surgeon who did the surgery last week and he saw the scan photos and was baffled. (He didn't see us though - this was relayed to us) They did remove a good amount of content last week, and it was tested positive for being pregnancy tissue. So he and all the staff on the ward were completely shocked and upset for us...
So... they insisted I do another surgery since things were definately not going to move on their own and the infection would be dangerous to leave inside me much longer. I was put on the emergency surgery list at around noon and DH stayed with me until 4pm and then went home to be with DS. I could not believe I had to go through this all over again......
I insisted on morphine for my pain and horrah they gave me some every 2 hours very apologetically... All the nurses were teary and sympathetic for me and so treated me very well. However my surgery didn't happen until they woke me at 2:40am to take me down. I became terrified right out of the blue, but the anesthetist was really funny and lovely so I got myself together. They gave me a huge dose of morphine when I woke up.. I was really tipsy and made all the staff laugh with my jokes... well you know me.....
They told me they got lots out this time (they did say that last time though!!) and it tested positive for pregnancy material and infection etc etc.....I am at home now, struggling to get my appetite back but I am making myself eat when I can, and I am on strong antibiotics. Still in loads of pain and feeling very tender, but I think its getting a bit better.
The worst part is, I have to wait a week and a half now for it to be over. They are doing a follow up scan then to make sure all the content is out on the 28th. I feel as though maybe its gone... but my body is crazy from the hormones so I really have no clue until then. I am crazy scared - but I will pull myself and cover DS in kisses and hugs to keep me going.
Doctor today did say there is still a very good chance I can carry to term, but I have insisted on a referral to my Gyno to do tests in case they can help me.
We are doing ok, so don't be worried - me and DH are supporting each other brilliantly. It's good to have little DS and the kitties here as well to lavish all our love on!
BTW - on the release form for the first surgery one of the very very rare complications mention on it was failure to remove content.... and I had to sign it before the surgery. My Dad wants to su their asses for putting us though this, but I just want this over with.
Love to you all.... I thought you'd all want to know whats been happening to me..... sorry it was a long post. Love xxxxxx
