As some of you know I was having an op to remove Endometriosis and a cyst from my ovaries and also i was going to get sterilised at the same time.
Well the op was scheduled for march but after blood tests it was bought forward to this week.I went in weds for surgery on the day case ward with a possible over night stay.
Well I went in on Weds and was sent to theatre at 1pm.I remember seeing the clock saying it was 1:15pm then the next thing i know I'm coming round 4 hrs later.
I knew there and then something wasn't right and judging by the pain in my belly I knew I had major work done.
It wasn't untill the next day I found out just what had been done and I am still in shock.
When they opened me up they saw my uterus was enlarged about 1 and a half times the size it should be.I had 4 fibroids in there as well as adhesions and scar tissue.The uterus was stuck to my ovary with Endometriosis and there was Endo everywhere.So the surgeon decided enough was enough (this was my 4th operation.And my 2 in 18 months) And decided to do a total hysterectomy.I still have my ovaries but the uterus and cervix have gone
As I'm only 31 they felt it best to leave my ovaries in to stop me going through the menopause but there is a concern the Endo could reoccur as could the cysts.If this does happen then they will remove the ovaries.
I am pleased deep down as I have lived in pain for years and had no life and yes I am luckier than some people and I have had 5 beautiful children.Even though that was tough conceiving them and I had horrid pregnancies.I hope this works i really do.
I came home late last night as my 2 year old wasn't coping well with out me home.This morning my OH laid my son in bed next to me and I cried my heart out.I just cant to grips that I won't have any more children.I know I have my family but it's still bloody hard to deal with.
I am on strict rest and cant hold Ashton for 2 weeks which is awful.But I hope this is it now.I finally can be a healthy happy mummy again xx
To everyone who sent me a message thank you xxx
