I just got back from hospital today. Feeling much better than I was 2 days ago. Still feeling a little drowsy from all the drugs. Now resting at home with the help of my sister and mother. She has been cooking porridge and soup for me. Yesterday was chicken soup with fishball and today was beefball with potatoes. I wouldn't be eating this kind of food if I am not sick. Walking is still a pain. The 3 "punctured" wounds are are healing but it is still a bit swollen. Sitting, walking trying to get up is a pain.
Anyway, my surgery went rather well. I wake up at 5.15am on Wednesday. Bathe, got ready and sent dad to work first before we headed to KKH. Reached hospital at 6.50am, checked in with the nurse and was asked to change into my operation gown. Hubby not around yet as he was working night shift. But having mama, sis, bro and his fiance there was a relief. I was scared but I just prayed for the best. I was brought in at 8am. Waited in the OT room for Dr Sadhana to arrive. She arrived 15 minutes later. Talked to me, explained to me about my surgery. The MO and anasthesist came in, talk to me for a while, injected some medication into my IV and I felt as if I was dreaming and flying into the air, saw a mask put on me then before I knew it I was woken up. That was almost 3 hours later at around 12 noon. The pictures below showed my womb before and after the surgery.
The first picture shows my ovaries. Can you see that white bloated thing? That's my right ovary with all the endometriosis inside. Normal ovary size will only be one eighth of that. So you can imagine how big my cysts are. My womb is behind that ovary. and my left ovary is hidden behind the womb. My tubes are Thank God not blocked just swollen. The third picture shows my shrunk ovaries and the 4th one are all the blood being sucked out. That was one painful surgery but i hope everything goes well after this.
In my previous entry I did mention that we are going to start naturally once my wound heals but then after the surgery, Dr Sadhana suggest that I let my wound heals thoroughly. So she is putting me on a GNHR injection for the next 3 months starting from yesterday to suppressed my hormones and prevent my menses for coming for the next 3 months. This is to prevent the endometriosis to come back and affect my surgery area. So yes. No 2ww for the next 3 months. Just me and hubby enjoying ourself, on our honeymoon once more. Then comes April once my menses arrive, I will call KKIVF and start on my IVF cycle. Let's hope everything goes well after this.
For all those who are having very painful period as well one that is heavy for 2 days then light for the rest of the days pls get yourself check out before your cysts gets too big. Coz if it is small you can reduce it just by taking medication rather than surgery. So learn from me and get yourself check out okay...
I am gonna get some rest now. See you all another time once I am feeling much better.

I am so happy that you and your husband are taking the difficult but necessary steps to make your self better. This is going to make the eventual baby in your arms so much more precious. Enjoy your healing time and let your family continue to help you. :)
Dagny and Virginia,
Thanks for your well wishes. Yes the surgery was painful. The decision to postpone babymaking was even harder but if this is going to help me and hubby achieve our dream sooner.
I am glad the doctor managed to take some pics of the surgery. At least I get to share it with all my readers here.
