I hope you are at least feeling better. You can do this! I also hope you can avoid your long shifts when you go back to work- give yourself the time now and you'll be better in the long run!

Hi Girls,
How are you all. I have missed you. Well as you know it has been a rough long recovery and still on going.
I want to thank loveshoes from the bottom of my heart for being here for me every step of the way. I can't tell you how much it meant to have you keep in touch with me. And to all of you for your prayers and good wishes.
My 45 minute surgery turned into 3 1/2hrs. Stage 1 endo, my uterus was attached to my colon, and adhesion's. i was sent home the same day.
3 days later the problems started. It all started with a sneeze a few days after surgery. I had only thought the sneeze hurt real bad until I started having real bad burning in my stomach and had a fever. called my dr he never called back. About two hrs later I felt my pants were soaked got up went into the bathroom and was covered in blood. My husband dialed 911 and I was rushed to the hospital. They drained it for a good half hr, took a culture, then put gauze on top of it gave me antibiotics and told me to keep it covered with gauze. Three days later was my 1st follow up with my Gyno/Endo Dr. I told him what happened he looked at it and said OMG. Punctured it open drained it again and asked who helped me at the hospital they should have had me pack it and gave me the wrong antibiotics. He put me on Keflex. i explained i never packed anything in my life so he drew a stick figure. not much help. the next day my stomach was on fire again. I called his 911 number and he told me he was at the hospital to come there so he can open it that he should have done it the day before. He opened it, packed it and sent me home telling me to change it at 9pm. Well when I did we couldn't stop the bleeding/bacteria.We went through 5 towels and 3 boxes of gauze. I was terrified i thought i was going to die,but when we called him he said no need to go to the hospital. Thank god my neighbors girlfriend works at a hospital she came over and 2 hrs later got it to stop were the packing would work.
Two days later i was in the hospital again for chest pains this time they told me they cant do x rays BC I was pregnant and dehydrated. then left me there for three hrs. Pregnant really. what is wrong with these people. I flipped, Left and called my primary Dr she said come right in. she ran a whole slew of blood work and said would call the hospital to get the culture and large vile blood test results. she called me the next day and guess what the hospital never ran the culture or the blood work. She told me to have my Gyno do it but when I requested it last week he said there was no need .
I still have a hole above my bikini line that is pretty deep. I have to pack it every day and there is still a pocket of bacteria above it. My fever broke last week after having it for 3 weeks I thought things were starting to go right. Then this morning I woke up to 99.1 and my stomach is all red. I am going to my primary Dr tmro BC I don't trust my Gyno/Endo specialist any more after how he has dealt with this. I do have to go to him to get this stitched but that will be Tuesday next week.
So this has been really rough on me I have been doing alot of crying. I hope when I go to her tomorrow there are no problems and the infection is not back.

Wow. That's really sh*tty that, not only were you in such a rough state, but that people dropped the ball left and right. That's not right. I'm hopeful you're on the up and up and start to get your strength back - both physically and emotionally. I hope that once the dust settles, you'll consider writing a complaint to those involved. Even if it doesn't go anywhere, it may at least be a way to heal emotionally and let them know how much their ball-dropping affected you.

I plan on it. The worst part of the ball dropping besides me getting so sick is My Surgery and Dr are at the best hospital on Long Island.

Kimmie!!! Welcome back love! I'm so very flattered by your post - it was the least I could do and I'm glad I could be there for you to PM back and forth to get thru your tough days. It was my absolute pleasure! You're so sweet! Since we have spoken thru your entire journey I will keep this short, but welcome back to the board!!!

That is terrible. I can't believe you went through all that. Thank god you have a good primary care who seems to be the only one doing things right! Your specialist should have been calling you every day when he saw what shape you were in, and the runaround from the hospital is outrageous. I'm so sorry you had this experience, and I hope you have a good appt with your primary tomorrow. Sending you loads of cyber hugs!

Kimmie, this is such a nightmare. It is such a horrible, horrible shame and your doctor should be so embarrassed. I am so glad you are ok now, but going through that is RIDICULOUS. Let us know how it goes tomorrow!

I went to my primary Dr yesterday. She was so glad I listened to myself and did not go for the stitches on Tuesday. She she said there is still bacteria coming out and could not understand why he would stitch it. I told her he would not do a culture so she did. She also ran CBC again to compair to her last one. I still have a fever and my blood pressure was 135/99. So she is concerned about that now as well. My blood pressure has always been belowe normal. She will call me with the blood test results on Saturday. I am so grateful to her she has been a huge help to me. I also spoke with a lawyer. I explained everything and he wants to see me on Tuesday.

I just can't believe this. I'd go after his ass too, I'm so sick of incompetent doctors running around causing us more trouble than what we are already dealing with. Please keep us posted.
