My hysteroscopy yesterday went well. We arrived at the surgery center at 6 am, they started my IV and I got visits from Dr. Carnovale and the anesthesiologist (Dr. Kiley) and then they took me back to the OR. I laid down with my arms out to the side (felt weird doing this and not being the one working around the pt.) I then felt this intense burning in my arm all the way up to my shoulder....it was the Propofol (knock out med) I just kept thinking I wanted to go to sleep so I couldn't feel it anymore! The next think I knew I was waking up to those stupid SCD's (things on my legs that puff up every so often)....oh how I hate those! The nurse asked if I was cramping and I was...badly! She gave me some Fentanyl...didn't help. They then took me back to the room I started in and there was Matt! The brought me a warm blanket to put on my belly (didn't work) while the nurse went to see if I could get some Toradol through my IV. She came back and said that I bled a little too much so I couldn't have any Toradol or Ibuprofen! Wonderful! That is all that works for me and my cramps!! I asked Matt what Dr. Carnovale said and he said that there was some polyp in my uterus and he had to do a D&C to get it out. For those of you that do not know, a D&C is a procedure they do mostly after a miscarriage. I don't meet with Dr. Carnovale until the 24th, so I won't know the exact details until then. We got home and I slept most of the day. I think they gave me a million liters of fluid because I kept waking up to pee! I never do that! Today was better, cramps still there but better...more like period cramps.
The next step starts in t-minus 10 days....I begin taking these....
They arrived the other day..I went through all of them and made sure I know what was what. I love that they sent me a sharps container, I was wondering what to do with all those needles!
More to update soon!
