Yeah I think after yesterday I learned that I really need to rest. I've been resting all morning and it's a little bit better now. the migraine's gone thank god, I took a painkiller on time.
I get out of breath so easily! even when I get up from the bed I feel like I've just run a marathon or something. Ok I exaggerated a little but anyway, so out of breath ! Think I should go to the balcony or something to get some fresh air.. Don't feel like going out, balcony shall do. ;D

lol my stitches are torn.. it's ok (I think) 'cause that cut is already healed but I'm having a bit pain there so I think I'll go see my doctor tomorrow so she can remove the stitches and see if there's infection and check those other cuts as well. doing fine here, having a bit pain, no need for painkillers though. Not feeling normal yet but very close to normal just ate pizza and kebab yummy...

I was supposed to go visit my doctor today but I was so tired that I just wanted to sleep, it's almost 12 o' clock and I just woke up.. which means I slept almost 12 hours lol.. Maybe I'll just call to the health center and ask do I need to be worried about the stitches and if they think I need to see a doctor then I'll go..

Week after my lap.. I'm pissed, sad, devastated, disappointed.... I know it's only been a week but I feel like the lap didn't help me at all! I still get huge pain after peeing, just like before the surgery.. I seriously hope that this is just normal pain after surgery and it'll go away once I'm fully recovered. But right now I just don't have the strength to think positively.
Other than that my recovery is going well.. I had my stitches removed yesterday. I'm feeling normal again, having a bit pain sometimes but no need for painkillers..
I will have my first period after the lap at the end of this week.. quite anxious to find out how it goes

as I said somewhere they found endo on top of my bladder. Before the lap I had pain in my bladder every time I peed. 3 weeks after my lap, nothing has changed. I still have pain in my bladder. I'm kind of pissed. I don't know if the pain will go away or not but this really sucks.. I'll see my doctor tomorrow so I think I could ask her about this. I just feel like I went through the surgery for nothing.

Let us know what the doctor says. 3 weeks is still pretty early. I know you're impatient to feel better, but you had lots of internal work done too, and that takes a lot of healing!

I had endo removed from my bladder too- it helped some of the pain (but it takes a long time to heal, especially if they had used a cath during your surgery). I think I might have a bit of IC separate from the endo, so I do better having given up caffeine and alcohol for the most part. Maybe something to think about. Don't get me wrong, it has really sucked and I miss my moring coffee but my bladder is thankful!!

The main reason I visited my doctor was my panic disorder but I mentioned about the pain in my bladder etc.. she said that it could take several months for me to feel better. So no need to be worried yet. She also wrote me prescription of Litalgin. yayy! hopefully it'll help. semicolon, yes I know I should give up coffee.. But it's soooo hard! sometimes I feel like coffee is the only thing keeping me alive lol.. I get HUUUGE headaches if I don't drink coffee and I feel like a zombie.. I've read that coffee makes endo pain worse so I've really thought about it.. I also like the taste of coffee, maybe I should start to drink decaf

Helloooo... +4 weeks since my lap and still can't wear jeans, hurts somewhere left in my tummy. Still have huge pain in my bladder sometimes but I guess it'll go away, or then it won't. we'll see.. Ummm that's about it. Everything's ok this new year I will start some kind of endo diet and yes I'm gonna give up caffeine too, it will be very hard but I think I'll manage, I've had "breaks" from coffee before, once 6 months without coffee

Had my first lap two days ago. Here's my story. I didn't have to do a bowel prep, only no food or drink after 12am the night before. When I got there I was pretty nervous. I am really REALLY bad with needles my nurse missed my vein on her first try so she had the anesthesiologist put in the needle while I cried helplessly to my boyfriend. They wheeled me away and had me switch beds, and then the doctor put something in my IV to help me relax before the anesthesia. I don't remember anything else. When I woke up in recovery I asked what time it was and only an hour had gone by. I frantically tried to check my body for incisions and there were only two, one in my right side and one in my belly button. I got scared they hadn't found anything. After drinking some ginger ale I fell asleep for about an hour. When I woke up I took a pain pill and answered questions. After a while they wheeled me to a new recovery room where my mom and boyfriend would meet me. I just wanted to go home, so I acted fine and used the bathroom. Eventually I gingerly got dressed and went home. I ate soup when I got home and then took a nap for a couple hours. I woke up at 8pm in terrible pain. I tried to use the bathroom but the catheter made it incredibly painful, and I felt like I would throw up. I was in tears it was so bad. I walked downstairs and had some chicken soup and crackers and took a percocet. The first night I woke up at 2am in pain and took a percocet. Then I woke up at 5am feeling incredibly nauseous and in a lot of pain. It took me 15 minutes to make it to the bathroom with my boyfriends help and I cried the whole way. Last night I was similar to the first but a little better. I have not had much appetite but I've been trying to eat a little. Today I've been feeling a little better, and I've been taking ibuprofen instead of percoet during the day. The doctor told my family they found and removed a small amount of endometriosis. I am going to have a follow up appointment in two weeks where we will discuss where to go from here.

Is it normal to feel really nauseous and sick even 4 days after the surgery? I feel like i would feel if i had a fever, but my temperature is totally normal. It's not the pain meds, cause i've stopped taking them just in case.
Blahhhh i feel so sick and awfullll
