Obviously I am not up to par when I have to force myself to check my emails and manipulate the internet. A trip to my family physician this afternoon is both reassuring and frustrating at the same time. Blood work ups show that my white count has dropped and my hemoglobin is getting better since the last hospital labs. My incisions look well healed and I am not throwing up or feeling sick to my stomach so that is great. I have had quite intensive pain and we believe that it is all coming from adhesions. I am still swollen and without predictability, it feels like rubber bands snapping and stinging (sometime sporadic and sometimes in long spells) under the incisions and even along my old C- section scarring. I am one of those individuals who develops extensive scarring on the inside. Topping it all off is a yeast infection and inflamation along the South Pole.......(Murphy's Law?)......This was my seventh abdominal surgery and each time I have to go under the knife, the surgeon always takes longer in the OR cutting away and dissecting adhesions. My gallbladder was almost completely covered from prior adhesions and inflamation. So my insides are still inflamed, nerves cut and pulling, and my body still is totally disagreeing with my wishes and activities. Fortunately, I can rule out in entirety a pregnancy, appendicitis or gallbladder stones.....................time to get over it!!! Thanksgiving is two weeks from today and then Christmas right behind.............this is no time to be feeling so out of sorts!
