Feels good to be home

I tot 10 th june end the problem that dwells me for the past weeks. When i admitted to TMC at 1 plus in the afternoon. The procedure that happened next reacted in a fast manner. I think I didn't have the time to build up the emotions of fear or nervous. I know I fall asleep very soon. By the time I half awake, the ops was over. At the same time, feeling nausesous on my head and pain at my lower adomen. Vomit is a SOP after the ops since I was on GA. Luckily, i din eat for for a day, so nothing much for me to puke. Another side effect was the shoulder pain, I can't explain why it will have after the Laparoscopy ops.

Anyway, I'm anxious to see my gynae Dr Woo Bit Hwa after the surgery but he din turn up the whole night. I'm glad and blessed that all the while Tiong-san was with me, feeling more assurance at his presence. He gave me 3 big beautiful, lovely sunflowers to cheer his brave gal. He was sweet in his own way. I'm proud to be his brave gal. :)


After the ops, I din have the urge to go toilet. The nurses took turn to gave me a on-bed bowel to urinate... lol.. i not used to that thing. I was on the IV actually, rightfully I should have a lot to urinate. Only till late late night, when my giddyness was gone and I managed to get out of the bed and have a long pee in the toilet. So good...

The next morning, I'm anxious to see gynae and wanted to get discharge soon. Little did I expect that what he was going to tell me embarks a new challenge Tiong-san and I was about to face. Though all my big blood cyst were removed, the damage it causes was difficult to repair. My fallopian tubes are blocked which the chances of natural pregnancy is slim. The option is to go thru the IVF. Other than that, there are still tiny bits of blood cysts along the passage which can't be remove during the ops. Therefore, I have to go thru another treatment which I may experience artificial menopause for the next few months.

At that moment, I couldn't hold back my tears in front of the gynae. The thought that I having slim chances for a baby really sadden me. I feel sorry for Tiong-san that our wish to have a bb is not easily fulfiled. He told me to believe in miracle, to believe in hope. I believe it will be a long journey for us to face the challenge ahead, but we withstand the challenge with our optimism, courage faith and love. I have to believe.
Back home today, feels good and warmth even just the 2 of us. These days will be hard for him, got to take care of me, himself and work. We spent a lot of money on the ops, have to save a lot for the future.

Sorry that i've not been there at that time, my friend.
Was trying to hold back my tears when I hug u and ying gdbye tat day (too big to cry in public).

Strange why you've shoulder pain? From my last fibroid removal, I vomited
from the GA but no shoulder pain.

As I read on your blog "Feels good to be home", I almost teared again.
Yes, the path ahead doesn't seem easy but remember Gynae said not easy which does not mean impossible. Anyway, nothing is impossible in this world today. We are talking about 2009 where medical technology has advanced tremendously. One of my friend's boss wife went thru a similar case where she had difficulty getting pregnants after trying for yrs. Finally, they opt for IVF had the 1st baby. Then, thought not able to have the next bb or have to go thru IVF again. Out of nowhere, the wife was pregnant by natural
(not IVF). So, remember slim chances mean there are chances, my friend!
