I had gyno surgery 5/10...complications from meds.

[Guest guest]

As I mentioned last week, I had gynocological surgery on May 10. I

had a tubal ligation, Novasure (endometrial) ablasion, a D and C, and

the doctor found many cysts and was able to remove some. He found

that I was already infertitle because my fallopian tubes were very

curvy, and had also developed cysts. The doctor was wonderful, the

nurses were nice, and the anesthesiologists were very alert about my

medical problems and used a breathing tube. Surgery went well, then I

was sent home. I mentioned how scared I was about surgery in my last

post on here, and how I had a bad feeling about surgery -sure enough,

I had complications!

I was fine after surgery Thursday, and Friday -was in a lot of pain

with nausea, but otherwise up and walking around alright. Then

Saturday, these terrible migraines started -some of the worst of my

life, and I had a fever, vomitting. Saturday night, I had some type

of seizure like fit where I had a migraine so severe I could hardly

move, and couldn't talk -I just stuttered. I was afraid I was having

a stroke or something, we my hubby drove me to the ER. They took me

right in, gave me Morphine to no relief and I'd also taken Fioricets

on the way which helped temporarily after a while. They admitted me,

and told me I shouldn't leave until I had a spinal tap to rule out

meningitis. No one was concerned with the fact I'd had gyno surgery

days prior, and they never even felt the area, or looked at it.

After a few hours, I refused the spinal tap. I had them bring in my

regular neurologist --- because NO ONE there knew about Pseudotumor

Cerebri. As it turned out, my neuro felt I was probably having

something called " rebound headaches " from taking Lortab around the

clock for 2 days. I guess it can happen with certain pain meds,

despite that I've taken it before.

The hospital's doctors disagreed. That's such an awful predicament

when you have something so rare no one knows enough about it so you

don't know whether or not to trust their judgement, and doctors who

are conflicting! Anyway, I threw up around the clock and had constant

nausea starting early Sunday morning. I was on Dilaudid (1mg = 6mg of

Morphine) at a dose of 2mg every 4 hours, so I had zero pain, and

they gave me Phenergen that helped nausea for a while -but- then they

moved in a screaming Alzheimer's patient who had no bowel control

Sunday evening. In 2 days, I had literally less than 4 hours of

sleep, and couldn't tell if I was throwing up from medical issues or

from the smell. (And I know it wasn't her fault, I just mean -I feel

they should have a separate ward or rooms for people with like issues

than to put someone with those problems in a room with a person who

is in for migraines and vomitting!)

This hospital has no private rooms, no dedicated neurology floor (or

any specialty floors/depts), and I couldn't get put into a room at

least with someone similar so I could sleep --- so I checked myself

out Monday evening against doc's orders. Despite that I still have

pain, a fever, and nausea, although the migraines did subside.

My gyno called me in antibiotics, because they feel the fever

probably indicates infection -and of course, the most obvious issue

is the surgery having caused it. They called in something else for

pain, which I'm now terrified to take -so I'm just dealing with being

in bed and pain when I stand up. The pain is way worse than I

expected. I'm also having to take Phenergen around the clock for the

nausea. If I'm not better after tomorrow, I'm going to see the gyno.

It's just hard in itself because he's an hour's drive away, and takes

about 2-3 hours to get in to see him, and it turns into a 5-6 hour

ordeal -I definitely can't handle that with this nausea and pain, nor

can I sit upright that long. I told his office this, but there's no

real recourse about it.

Anyway, I just wanted to update on my surgery since I've worked some

of the cloudiness out of my system from all that Dilaudid. I've felt

hunger over now for 2 days. I swear, I've never been high in my life

and always wondered what it felt like since so many of my loved ones

enjoy being high... and now after experiencing it, it just angers me

that they enjoy that. This stuff is so strong, it hits your vein, and

first the arm goes numb, then in a matter of seconds you feel it hit

your lungs, up to your brain, then down to your toes ---and it ALL

goes completely numb. You're so numb you can't even feel yourself

breathing. And I was so numb, I couldn't talk. I was just going " ba

ba ba ba " and drooling! It was one of the most miserable feelings

I've ever had. I was able to get them to break the dose in half and

do it 1mg every 2 hours (instead of 2mg every 4) which helped, but

gheesh. It was awful... although, I have to admit it was nice to have

a vacation from pain for a day or two! Even though it was an awful

experience! I was so out of it, I never turned on the tv the whole

time -I stared at the walls for 2 days wide awake. My husband had

gone home as soon as they admitted me, and didn't come back until I

called him to come and get me. He has pain issues, and I didn't want

him sitting around up there. It just felt so surreal.

It's weird to explain, but I know you will all understand when I say

how scary it is having health issues that your doctors know nothing

about, and possibly some undiagnosed. I'm positive this was most

likely about the mixture of drugs that were in my system from

surgery, then Lortab, and maybe even antibiotics... but without

doctors willing to dig into the bigger issue of what EXACTLY is wrong

with us --- we just go into these things blind and hope we come out

OK.

I know now more than ever that I'm definitely going to need Dr. Kolb

if I am ever able to explant. I won't trust anyone else. I only hope

I don't need other surgeries, because I'll be ten times more scared

now since I'd already had a feeling something was going to happen,

then it did.

Hopefully you are all doing as well as can be expected, and having a

nice week!!!

Love and prayers,

Thanks. I honestly think I added to the problem by overdoing it the first couple days after surgery, and being on my feet too much. My husband will take off work when I'm sick and 'say' he's going to help out, and be here, and he does try some but he gets cabin ever then he doesn't stay home with me. He hates sitting in the house, so he ends up running here, and there, or working outside --- using it like vacation time and does things he never has time to do. He always does this to me. He's even done it to me since I got out of the hospital KNOWING I have infection and over did it last week. He thinks because he isn't going very far and keeps his phone on him that it's OK, and doesn't understand that unless he's sitting here in the house that doesn't help me get up and down, or get things I need -no matter how much I explain this to him. Getting up and down is the hardest right now.

He hasn't even done dishes that have sat in the sink since Thursday, or cleaned the house at all. He'll wait until I can't stand it anymore and do it myself, or till I feel better. He did do laundry, though, since it's impossible for me to walk down to the basement. It just ticks me off so bad! lol

Thursday night after surgery -I was on my feet cooking dinner, if that says how bad this is. And I'd even went to the store prior to surgery and bought easy stuff anyone with common sense could cook themselves, as well as had a few frozen dinners prepared to just thaw and heat. He wouldn't even do that.

There's no one else I'm close enough to that can help after things like this, so as bad as the hospital stay was -it was at least nice to be taken care of and rest!

By the way, I'm feeling a bit better tonight as far as nausea goes, but the pain is still bad. Ya'll keep me in your prayers, please!

Oh Brigite, I'm happy to see you posting again . . . but horrified at how bad your experience was from the medications! . . . Do you know if any of them had silicone dioxide in them? Please stay strong! . . . We'll pray the worst is over and everything will start getting better from now on! Hugs and prayers, Rogene

God Bless you Girl ! ! You have been through it. What an experience.

My heart and prayers are with you. Love DedeSee what's free at AOL.com.

[Guest guest]

Oh Brigite, Guys don't necessarily make the best nurses . . . Sometimes you need to tell them, in advance, what you need . . . Like - before you go, would you do the dishes, bring me some water, help me get to the bathroom, warm up a meal and bring it to me? . . . Then, if they miss something, make a joke about it . . ."I almost wet the bed, fell down, died of thirst, starved to death . . ." Just say it with a smile and a chuckle! When he does do something you need, lavish him with praise - tell him how much you appreciate everything he's doing. . . .Pat him on the head - whatever! Kinda like dog training! . . . LOL! Rogene

[Guest guest]

Brigite ~

God Bless you ! ! I know how that is with your husband. I have been there. Ask your husband to call a cleaning service to come clean the house as you cannot do it and need a clean environment to keep you from getting infected again. The kitchen sink is a petri dish and is growing things you dont need around you. Tell him, doctors orders ! Maybe that will help, maybe not.......my heart goes out to you. Please take care of yourself, and rest best you can. Sending you lots of prayers and positive energy for healing ! ! Girl, you are one strong woman ! ! You have been through alot ! !

So sorry you are sick, just to say I have the same husband, like you

said he gets cabin fever in about 5 minutes, needless to say my life

has come to a halt, but he does not want to give up anything or help

with dishes or laundy. I had surgery yesterday, and am doing all

the laundry and cooked dinner, because he just goes out to eat and

won't even make a sandwich. I don't know if that makes you feel any

better, I really don't understand why they do this, but it sure does

not help when you don't have the strength. I hope you heal fast.

I am so sorry you ladies are dealing with husbands that are not supportive. When things are bleak, they can provide such a ray of hope, yet they miss it! What helped me through my toughest times was realizing that my expectations of my husband could be a source of angst and anxiety that I didn't need. When I released him from my expectations, and instead looked to God for my help and comfort, I found peace. I realized that God would never give me more than I could handle, and that each day I could find a haven in His presence, and peace in my soul that would carry me through each day. Healing comes when we trust God for healing in God's timing. And when we stop trying to make our husbands fit a mold of perfection that they never will. That's not to say they can skate through life being cads. (Prayer helps--I talked to God about my husband, instead of

talking to my husband about God) It's so nice when they do start shaping up and doing things for us! But maybe we can find healing in the sense of freedom we experience when we release them from our expectations. At least it helped me through those lonely periods.
