A little sore, but doing good!

Jul 20, 2011

I had my "9 month" visit with my surgeon on 7-19. (Even though I was 10 months out)....
I told him about the occasional pain that I would get in my abdomen which would be a moving pain. When I first got it about 4-5 months ago I called the surgeons office and talked to his PA, she said since I was not having any issues with my stools, and everything was regular that I shouldn't worry about it.... So I didn't. She passed it off as possible gas. However Monday I ended up missing work because the pain was unbearable. The pain would generally originate around my belly button and move all over my abdomen, and would mostly worsen when I extended my body, so the best positon for me was laying down fetal position. I brought it up at the very end of our appointment, just to ask him if I should take something to help with the rolling gas. He however said that it did not sound like gas.
That day I had an ultra sound to check on my gallbladder, luckily I had no stones! So yay to havig a gallbladder still! However reguardless I was going to have surgery to find out if I had an internal hernia. When they went it they found pockets to where a couple internal hernias would form, they also found built up scar tissue. They fixed both.
So here I am! Nauseous, from the anesthia/pain meds. (Which I refuse to take) I almost barfed from whatever I've been taking. Then again since the beginning I've been nauseous!

I'm doing good, sore but good, and should be able to return to work in 1-2 days!
