morning girls.
phew, am I tender this morning! Had to wake DH at 3am to help me to the loo and get painkillers because in my fog last night I forgot to put any by the bed!
So here's how it went.I arrived at 7.30, was seen by anaesthetist, then two medical students seeking permission to sit in on my surgery and perfom a pelvic exam (which I granted). Then one of the gynae team came to see me (interestingly my Cons bypassed me to see the woman in the next bed who arrived after. I get the feeling he didn't want to see me 
) This other person was really, really good with me and explained the surgery very well, despite me having discussed it with the Cons previously. I was told I had about a 3 hour wait, which went quite quickly really.
After being so scared and stressed the few days before by the time I got to hospital I was zen calm! I didn't even panic when they took me down to theatre.
The worst bit was them trying to get the cannula in the back of my hand. I swore quite a bit, but I have such narrow veins that he couldn't get the cannula to flush back through. He called the anaesthetist in at that point who took one look at the back of my hand and put the dressing back on. He put the cannula in my elbow instead and apart from the scratch of the needle that was totally painless. Then the magic medicine went in and I drifted off.
I was woken in recovery by the gynae staff/surgeon who came to see me that morning.
I was told I would be under for an hour and to expect to be home by mid-afternoon. As it turns out I went into theatre at 11am and came out at just before 2!! I got home about 5pm.
I will be sent an appt to see my Consultant in 8 weeks but the lovely surgeon again came to my bedside and explained what they found/did.
My left tube was dilated and stuck to the ovary. They have detached it and she said they didn't need to open it as doing that has freed the fimbrals. She did say though the tube has elongated quite alot and that puts me at increased risk of ectopic so I must inform my GP straight away of any pregnancy and get him to contact my Cons.
Surprisingly (as I have had no obvious symptoms) they also found endo. This is why I was under so long. They have treated it with diathermy and I was told this is why I am in so much more discomfort now than I had been warned I may be.
They gave me morphine after surgery but by about 6pm last night it had worn off and I was in quite a lot of pain.
My main incision below the navel is very uncomfortable and when I stood to get dressed in the hospital I realised my feet had got wet 
and the wound is leaking a lot. I have a lot of extra packing and dressing on that and it's very, very sore. I've been told to take the dressing off later today and been given extra but I am still so swollen I'm not sure I will be able to see it properly to check it.
I am so glad this is done. I have now read up a little bit about endo and am hoping that along with the tube issue, having the endo resolved will result in me being able to get and stay pregnant!!
Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to get it all down while it's fresh in my mind.
faith and carrie i'm sorry to hear you are both still suffering.
