Recuperating
I got back from the hospital this afternoon (technically yesterday afternoon since it’s the 16th now). The d and c was successful but I was awake throughout the procedure. The anesthesiologist decided to use spinal anesthesia instead of general anesthesia because he was worried that he’ll have difficulties waking me up. I wanted to be asleep during the d and c and since I wasn’t, I was terrified during most of the procedure. It lasted for like 30 minutes but I felt my OB poking around. Tsk. She sent a piece of me to the pathology lab. I’ll learn the findings on Thursday when I call her.
The anesthesia felt so weird. Well, not weird but more of annoying. It took 2 hours to wear off and I really couldn’t move my legs in the Recovery Room. There was a lady beside me in the RR. I don’t know what procedure they did to her but she began having chills after an hour and was crying the whole time. I felt sorry for her even though I was the one who had terrible chills right after my operation. She was an outpatient and I think she was forced to be confined because of the sudden fever. Poor girl.
I’m recuperating well although I think I caught an infection on my right ovary. It sometimes hurts and the lymph node on my right side of my neck is swollen. I have to rest for a week and not go up and down the stairs. I can’t carry heavy objects too. So I don’t know if I can go out to gimmicks even this weekend. I don’t really mind because I’m beginning to feel normal again.

Karen, you ROCK! Seriously! Awake during the whole procedure? Spinal anesthesia (im guessing they had to inject you at the base of your spine no?) I heard this was a painful process, and if you got through this MAN, ang GALING MO!
It’s good to hear the operation was successful. I hope you feel less pain now after the procedure. GRABE, I miss you na! Rest assured that I always pray for your good health karen! This line - She sent a piece of me to the pathology lab - can be a love song! Work on this! Hehe.

Wow, I just read your last two blog entries… I’m glad you’re home now and hope you continue to recuperate well. By the way, I don’t know if this is something that you’ll find helpful, but there’s this great book called Sacred Woman: A Guide to Healing the Feminine Mind, Spirit, and Body. It has really cool advice, especially about womb work and healing. It sort of from an Egyptian/African-centric perspective (which I found pretty inspirational). If you get a chance, I would recommend checking it out. Hopefully you can find it there. Sending you lots of healing light and energy!

Thanks, Mae. I’ll be on the look-out for that book. It sounds really interesting :)

hi! i found your blog via looking for ISAA. I just started blogging about size troubles in the Pinas, and I was looking for other people with similar troubles… kaya lang, parang wala. *lol* i’m glad i found your ISAA site.
i have PCOS, too, pero for me i never get my period instead of bleeding. i know i should see an OB, kaya lang i really don’t like the poking and stuff. hay.
anyway, yun lang. i haven’t really made much of a blogroll, but will add you on mine. :)

Hi Susie! Wala ngang masyadong blogs about this. It’s good that you started your own blog about this issue! Congrats!
Madami palang may PCOS sa mundo. I hope you’ll see an OB someday. I think that will be a big help.
Please join the ISAA Philippines mailing list too :)
