pelvic pain and heavy bleeding (afraid)

well i dont really like the idea of being drugged that much :/
i am doing school work, bcuzi am homeschooled but that is only four hours at the most. and since my bf is homeschooled as well he has been bringing movies and magazines. but no one can stay forever so sometimes im all alone and then it just is scary, tho i told my doc and she has been trying to come by more to talk to me

gosh what i wouldnt give for a milkshake, but my doc says i can only eat things that are ok-ed on this list she gave me, and its bland bland bland. lol

but u know what has really began to help me?
knitting, my mom brought it for me this morning its fun and it keeps me calmer which was good bcuz my bf could not come today and my parents had to get back to work so they came at 9 and left at 10.

hi guys, i just wanted to do an update
i got a little worse :/ the pain got worse and my doc said i might not be able to get out on friday. do you guys have any tips on how to stay calm in a hospital? bcuz this is all really getting to me.

just to catch u guys up today, i walked again (ow!) it feels like my insides are gonna fall out my stomach
but at least my doctor was talking about me getting out friday if im doing better.

so have any of the other girls on here had a fibroid removed threw a cut in their tummy? if so how was ur recovery at home? was it bad?

yes, i definitely feel like they are talking to me more

my doc is talking about me leaving friday

Billiegirl,

Congrats on getting to the end of the hall! Yes, they always make you walk a little bit before you feel like it, but it helps you get to feeling better. That "drippy thing on wheels" (LOL!) is your IV stand. IV means intravenous.

Are your parents spending good amounts of time with you there? Do you feel like you all are talking more than you did before this happened?

When are they talking about releasing you, Billiegirl?

gosh they just made me get up and walk, that was an interesting experience. i couldnt walk by myself so my bf helped me, and i felt really weak, i did not even know how weak i was lol i only got to the end of the hall, and i had to have one of those drippy things on wheels (yes in fact, i did forget the name)
even tho i did not go far my doc said it was far enough for today cuz i think my bf was going to have a coronary watching me walk, he thought something bad was going to happen lol

todays better, the pain and nausea are less cuz of all the meds im taking (which is a little scary being that drugged)
and the thing about my parents i think it was a little bit of a wake up call, they were busy but i also do not exactly stand up for myself.
but now they have like 3 cases that they r not doing cuz they dont want to leave the hospital. which is another bright side, im getting their full attention.

(and it is great to have a bf who likes audrey hepurn movies, but you want to know somethin funny? HE got ME into them lol)

Billiegirl,

I'm just now catching up with you from over the weekend. I am so, so, so glad that you wrote to us in the first place, and that your boyfriend insisted you go to the hospital to get this checked out. (And besides that, to have a boyfriend likes Audrey Hepburn movies is a wonderful thing!)

It is frightening to know how sick you were when you went to the hospital, isn't it? I know it was so scary -- you had never even had a pelvic exam -- but it sounds like everything went well and that you'll be fine when you get over your infection and the soreness from the surgery. A week in the hospital is a pretty long time!

Glad your parents and boyfriend are there. And while as lawyers your parents ARE extremely busy, perhaps this will be a bit of a wakeup call to them as well -- you had told them (or one of them?) that you were having this bleeding and pain, right? And they didn't insist that you go to the doctor right then. Or are you a person who has some trouble standing up for herself? Please learn from this to trust your gut instinct -- you knew there was something wrong, even though it was scary to deal with it.

And memorize the feeling you have with the doctor who doesn't treat you like a child. Throughout your life, when you need doctors for different things, you want doctors who look you in the eye, talk with you like your feelings matter, give you all the information you need and want, and make decisions with you about what is best for your body. It doesn't matter if it's a gynecologist or an allergy doctor or anything in between, you want a doctor who talks TO you instead of AT you, and one who shares information and is open to all your questions without being impatient.

What's happening with you today? Is your pain any better? How about the nausea?

thank you for that info mrs.beaver, and yea im trying to look on the bright side, ive been reading, but mainly ive been watching movies that my bf movies (a bunch of aubrey hepurn movies)
