I had my 2 week check-up yesterday. After almost a 2 HOUR wait, I finally got to be examined. I guess he was running behind. I felt really bad for my mom because I couldn't drive and she was watching all 3 kids in the waiting room because it was just to hot to just sit in the car and who wants to do that when it's 100 degrees outside, NOT ME!! So the doctor comes in and we start discussing some problems I'm having. He gave me a prescription for a bladder infection and recommended some over the counter fiber pills. He also told me I have 2 blood clots in my wrist from the iv. This surgery was a doozie, let me tell ya!! I don't think I'll ever be ok with getting another iv again. The first one went in while I was in pre-op about 6am and about 3 hours after surgery around 3pm I noticed that I was losing feeling in my hand. I told the nurse and the iv tech came in to put it in my other hand and said "oh, it was probably sitting on a nerve." I've yet to get all the feeling back in that hand, I probably won't ever get it all back. :/ So because of having to get it put in my left hand, I now have the 2 blood clots. Isn't live just lovely??? So yeah, bladder infection meds, fiber meds and now I have to just be patient with these blood clots because they'll just go away on their own and aren't serious. He showed me a copy of the photo's from my surgery and said he took a really bad and nasty looking spot of endometriosis from my right side under my ovary. Which was the place I was hurting the most. Thank GOD all of that's over and all these little inconveniences that I'm going through now are nothing compared to what I could have gone through had I not gone through with the surgery. So again, I thank GOD and count my many blessings. I go back in 4 weeks for another check up, then I'll be cleared to get back to my normal exercising routines. He did say that I can walk the track now and do some light swimming. I can't wait to get back to kickboxing and my really intense ab workouts again. I lost about 5lbs from surgey and I'm really excited about that, so that means I have 20lbs to go. YAY!!!
