Hysterectomy Gone Bad - Need a Friend
Hi my name is Shelly and I am new to the board. I apologize that I do not know all the acronyms but I really need and ear to bend. I am sorry this is long but I had a D&C on May 23rd and found out I had endometriosis. On June 10th I had a laproscopic hysterectomy and was discharged on the June 11th. On June 13th I was back in the ER and had to have emergency surgery on my colon. Apparently my OBGYN cut my colon performing the surgery and even received lab reports of this the day of my discharge on the 11th of June but failed to contact me.
His exact words on the 13th was "he was going to call me but conferred with two colleagues"! In summary I almost died. I had a BP of 70/40 and was coding when I reached the ER, became septic and spent the next 12 days in the hospital recoverying.
I just underwent surgery on July 7th for my gallbladder removal. According to the surgeon that repaired my OBGYN mistake the trauma of the colon repair and bile released in my body triggered the Gallbladder problem.
So, I will not go back to my OBGYN, I have six different incision points trying to heal, I can't move and I have began crying uncontrollably and do not know why. I know I am in pain but do not know if it is due to hormones from the hysterectomy or depression because I feel like I have been butchered.
I am hurt, angry and do not know where to turn for help or relief.
Any words of support would be appreciated.
