I have a ballooterus!

edited August 2014 in TTC After a Loss
Another AW here. Surgery yesterday went well and the doctor was able to get all of the retained tissue out. Hallelujah!  To borrow a term from our beloved grad @KMW08, I now have a ballooterus (i.e., a balloon in my uterus). The doctor placed a balloon catheter inside my uterus after surgery to keep it from collapsing in on itself and developing scar tissue. I wouldn't say it's comfortable, but at least I only have to have it in for a few days.

The doctors were able to put me under heavy sedation with local anesthesia and analgesia (a "MAC") instead of general anesthesia. So I think that helped a lot in terms of the grogginess wearing off quicker. I did have some strong uterine cramping when I woke up, so the docs gave me a Vicodin at the hospital. Apparently I had been talking smack with the anesthesiologist about how women have a higher pain threshold than men.

The painkiller knocked me right out and I slept for hours yesterday and last night. But this morning I'm feeling quite a bit better and have been able to manage with Tylenol and haven't yet had to tap into the Percocet that was prescribed. I go in on Friday to have the balloon removed, and I'm on a course of hormone therapy to help rebuild my lining. We're looking at TTC again in October and just hoping and praying for no more roadblocks. So glad to have this behind us!
