To CARPENTERS :o)

I am sorry, I can not figure out how to comment on my own blog. BLAHHHH. So I wanted to reply to your comment, but I tried and tried and I can not figure out how to stay signed in so this is the only way I could leave you a comment, I even tried making a new account. I am obviously not very good at this, haha.
Here was my comment to you.....

I hope and pray that you have a smooth surgery tomorrow! I am doing really well, thank you! Some advice, you will awake in pain, but my nurses took real good care of me with pain meds. You will be real sleepy and want to sleep all day! When you do get home I recommend that you sleep almost sitting up. I put 2 pillows under my back and head so that the gas could not travel under my shoulders. I had no shoulder pain. Its nice to have someone there with you the day after. My mom was with me but I was up and walking and felt pretty good. Drink your fluids and stay hydrated. You will be very bloated for about a week and half. Have a bunch of streachy, comfy pants to wear for a few days or the whole week. ;)
Unfortunately I was diagnosed with Severe, Stage 4 endometerosis. I am a bit overwhelmed with this diagnosis but relieved to have answeres and it feels great to know that I am now "cleaned out". My right ovary was covered in adhesions and was stuck to my tube and bowel. My Lt. ovary was pretty bad too. My Re did get rid of most of the endo. I am now feeling good but got a very painful AF 3 days ago. I started stimming tonight for my first IUI since the surgery (really IUI #5). My RE is really optimistic and so am I! :o)
Please let me know how your surgery goes and I am here for you if you have any questions! You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you'll do Great!!! I pray you find some simple answers. Good Luck Tomorrow!

  2. Amy, Thank you so much for the post! Makes me tear up, you were thinking of me. I am so glad you got back to me, and I am so that nasty girl AF has shown up for you. Praying this cycle and IUI works for you. I am sure the 'cleaning out' will do wonders! That is sad you still had a painful period though.I am so glad your RE is optimistic, I feel that is a lot of force behind faith and hope is your professional hopeful too.
    thank you so much for the tips. I am now in the recliner...watching criminal minds and eating 'scooby snacks'....so we are all good here.
    I am so sorry for your severe diagnosis. I pray that great things happen for both of us this summer. Thinking of you!
    do you regularly email? I would love to stay in touch.
