So a week ago I found myself in pain. Pain I really hoped I wouldn't feel again. But this time, it was kind of worse. Monday morning started out with an extremely painful bowel movement where I thought I might pass out. It was bad. I was breaking out in a cold sweat and seriously thought I was going to bite it. Thank goodness I didn't. I also started my period. Then I started noticing pain that I haven't felt in a little over 5 yrs. Cyst pain. Oh no. Please not again! I thought maybe it had something to with my monthly cycle. This is only my second period since I had Jackson. 50 day cycle... yeah, I'm awesome like that. So I waited a couple days. Still had the pain. I recognize the pain in my colon. Part of my last cyst was attached to my colon and I think there is some scar tissue there. After my surgery I had a lot of pain when I started to digest food again thanks to the tender colon. That's where I feel the pain again.
The pain is also lower though. Whenever I have a bm it hurts really bad. I know last time I had fluid fill up which caused the pain down low. But it didn't hurt when I had a bm. So not sure what that's about. I'm just really frustrated. I had hoped it'd ease up but its not. Really frustrated. I'm going to call my dr and see if by any chance I can get in this week. The week before Christmas. Ha. We'll see about that. The bummer is the only relief I know is surgery. That's the only thing they could do last time. I guess I'll just have to see. Probably have to do another ultrasound. Hopefully not another CT scan. Good thing is there is an imaging place in Tooele now so I don't have to pay the cost of the hospital or travel out to the valley to get it done.
I'm just so frustrated right now. It's only been a week and I'm so done with the pain. How did I survive 3 months last time? It is a little more painful now but still. 3 months! And its Christmas and New Years. Grrrrr! 5 years. It was 5 years ago on Halloween when I had it removed. The surgery itself wasn't too bad to recover from. I just get super sick from anesthesia. It took me two hours to open my eyes. They really had to drug me because it started out as exploratory until they could see what was going on. Then they had to call in additional surgeons to help in the removal of the cyst off other organs. So something that seemed fairly simple kept me under for like 4-5 hours. So I had a hard time in recovery. But after that it wasn't too bad. So I guess I could do it again if I had to. I just really don't want to. I'm really hoping I don't have to.
Tomorrow I make the call and we'll just have to see from there. I am really hoping its not a big deal. Keep your fingers crossed for me. Curse my PCOS :(
