Leah, hey sweetie, I was sore and had pain like you are describing after my lap. It took me longer to recover as well, I think that maybe you should go see your DR..... You may have an infection somewhere! I had a follow-up appointment a week later, so I was able to tell my Dr about my problems. He recommended for me to take another week off of work and put me on pre-natal vitamins, and antibiotics. I also had some nasty draining from my belly button.
Please let me know what you decide to do!
My lap experience was no walk in the park as most described it as! It felt like I had a major surgery done.

Paisley,
I called my doctor office today. There is no drainage or anthing at either of the insision sites. The nurse said that it takes some people longer to recover. Also, it is time for my AF. But I just wonder, can things get infected inside? I don't go back until the 26th. I will bear with it and see. I think I am being paranoid. I am still recovering, just really tired and the soreness is normal. If AF is coming that explains the soreness. I will keep you posted on how I am feeling. I hope on the 26th he will put me on prenatals. I don't have any leave left of I would stay home. I can't afford leave without pay.

**Warning** Having a bad day...My cat's still missing, af started last night, FIL is still in the hospital, DH is on the edge of a breakdown, and I have a freaking bladder infection or something! And we're supposed to be moving this month and we haven't found a new place yet! I don't know if we're even going to be moving still...

Leah~Sorry to hear you're still hurting hun. I hope it passes soon..

leahdione · 09-13-2005, 05:13 PM

Lil Lizzie,
I am so sorry that you are having such a tough time. It seems as if most of my cysters are having problems right now. I am feeling a little better, pretty sure it is AF about to rear her ugly head. Thank you for remembering me. I am sorry if you have a kidney/bladder infections. Those suck. I tend to get those type of symptoms for the 1st day or so of AF. I will continue to keep your kitty, hubby, fil and you in my prayers. ((((((((HUGS)))))))))

lpcale · 09-13-2005, 06:02 PM

leah-so sorry to hear that you are still not feeling well from your lap and that af will be arriving soon. thats never fun. i feel your pain though, i am still home from work with the temp around 100 and drainage. i actually feel worse today than the last 2 days. o go back to the dr. on the 23rd of this month. sure hope you start to have some relief soon. just take it as easy as you can while you are at work and then rest as much as you can at home. our hubbys while do fine with us out of commission for a while. it does suck though to feel this way. so ready to feel better. let me know how you are?

Tiggamoo · 09-13-2005, 07:02 PM

I wish I could wave a magic wand to make everyone feel better.

Leah and Lisa, I'm sorry that both of you are in pain. I'm praying for you both that you'll have some relief soon.

Lil Lizzie, I'm sorry things are so crazy in your life right now. I hope you find your kitty. I hope AF won't be a meanie and the infection will be better soon. Prayers for you, your hubby, the kitty, and your FIL.

Lisa, I hope Ophelia goes away or at least isn't too strong.

Hello to all the other endo cysters! I hope you are all doing as well as you can. As for myself, I just want to get away for a while. My compassion is fizzling for my job right now. My minds want to be somewhere else. I just feel stuck and blue.

lpcale · 09-13-2005, 11:16 PM

tigga-thanks for the kind words. sorry to hear that you are down and blue these days. i sure do remember those days as a social worker. remember it takes a very special person to be a social worker....thats you!!! hope some relief comes your way soon. take care of yourself! ophelia is still uncertain as of now. love ya!

Just wanted to say Hello!

Rozlynn · 09-14-2005, 12:12 PM

Good morning hope everyone has a great day!

leahdione · 09-14-2005, 12:51 PM

Good Morning Ladies!

Lisa,
I am starting to feel better. Soreness is going away and we were able to bd last night without hurting. AF still hasn't shown up. Still cramping and waiting. I am sorry that you are having such a rough time. I didn't have the drainage with my incision, it just hurt like the devil. Watch that fever and just rest. Let hubby take care of you.

Tigga,
I am sorry things are so rough right now. Do you have leave where you could take a vacation? I hope that you start to feel better soon and can get some needed time off.

Paisley, Roz, and Lil Lizzie,
Hi! Good morning! Happy Hump Day!

If you can't tell I am starting to feel better, just still get tired easily. This is the day I don't have to be at work until 1:00 b/c I get 4 hours of study time to do school work and all I did was sleep in. It is hard to make yourself get up when you are at home and your bed is right there. I have to start getting up b/c I really need that extra time for the school work. Gotta go do some homework. Talk to you girls later.

lpcale · 09-14-2005, 01:55 PM

good morning ladies. hope you all have a wonderful day. i actually feel a tiny bit better today, but still have a temp and the incision isnt looking so hot. i called the dr this morning and talked to my sister (she is a nurse practicioner at my obgyn's office) and she said it was probably an infection and to come in this afternoon. hubby wants to take me so i am waiting for him to get here. i am soooo ready to feel better.

paisley, roz, lil lizzie, jenn, corrie-hope you are all having a good day and feeling good. hugs to you all.

tigga-sure hope you have a better day. maybe a long weekend if you could swing it would be a nice break......take it easy on yourself. thinking of you.

leah-glad to hear that you are starting to feel better now, sure takes a while doesnt it? good luck with the schoolwork!!

talk with you all soon. i will let you know what the dr says!

leahdione · 09-14-2005, 04:38 PM

Lisa,
Keep us posted. Hope they give you some antibiotics and you feel better soon. I am so glad that I feel better, I actually feel well enough to go to the gym today. It does take longer than the 3-5 days like they say. It has been 2 weeks for me and I am just now starting to feel normal.

AF hasn't come. I don't know why. Guess she is going to be late this time.
