Good pills

Good, fear-relieving gyn appointment today. Doc says my lingering pain is just "surgical bed pain" because they did a lot of cutting and stitching in that area and it's just going to be sore for a while. I got more drugs and another week off work; now I'm to go back on July 1st. (This makes for a two-day week, since everyone including me will be gone the Friday before the fourth, so that works out well.)

He showed me pictures of the crap they pulled out; they were gross but fascinating. Apparently the endo had actually come back even within three weeks, and it was part of the infectious complex righty had built around itself and smushed up against the pelvic wall. I got to see how my poor, hapless appendix had been pulled into it as well, all stretched out and sad-looking. Now that I'm back on the combined bc pill, I shouldn't have any more endo flares. We'll see. Here's hoping. The evil ovary is gone, and lefty usually behaves itself...

I'm really hoping I can wean myself off the oxycodone soon. Half a pill every three hours does reasonably well now, so hopefully I can gradually extend that until I'm done with them by next weekend. I'd like to go out to lunch with my skater friends that Saturday, but I need to be able to drive to do it. (Ugh, I haven't driven in a month. It feels like forever.)

I'm glad to hear that your pain is at a reasonable level with medication these days! That bodes well for further healing (fingers crossed).
