Betcha Can't Top This One! (Totally TMI)

Briellabella · January 2010

So, two days ago I get the most painful hemorrhoid. I can't sit, lay down or get comfortable at all, no matter what I tried. Last night I finally ended up having to go to the E.R. in hopes that they could treat this monster hemorrhoid. Long story short, it turns out that I had a prolapsed vein and that was what was causing so much pain. The doctor had to strap me face down, @ss up on a bed and tape my butt cheeks open. Then he gave me a local anesthesia and cut and drained the vein before stitching me up (yes, I have stitches in my rear end) and prescribed me Percoset Tongue Tied

Hubby and I have been joking that this LO is going to be a tough one because of how difficult this pregnancy has been. So imagine my reaction when I stand up from the surgical table and see my LO's name all over the medical supplies!!! We are going to name LO 'Kendall' and that is the name of the medical company that provided all the supplies for my minor surgery. It's an omen! LOL

On another note, now I'm not so eager for baby to get here in the next few days. I really hope she waits until I heal before she makes her appearance!

OMG - so sorry you had to go through that! Funny about Kendall though - it's a sign that you've had a rough pregnancy and so now you will have a super easy and fast delivery!

No, no... I can't beat that. But, sorry, LMAO at the visual of having one's @ss cheeks taped open. I've got very troublesome hemorrhoids, but have now made the mental note NOT to go to the ER to treat them!

Ouch. That has got to be uncomfortable.

Oh how horrendous! I've had some BAD hemms but jeesh that sounds AWFUL! Pooping must suck too....:(

I'm sorry.

This LO seems like he/ she is a PITA already ; p

OMG! the image of you being strapped down and butt cheeks taped apart makes me want to laugh! (sorry). Thank God you got that thing taken care of. Will you have any issues when pushing?

You poor thing! How the heck did they strap you face down, though, with your belly in the way?? Special table??

Briellabella · January 2010

LOL...it had to be one hell of a sight. It was a regular hospital bed, so I had to literally stick my butt in the air for the procedure since I couldn't rest on my belly. They tape both cheeks to the bed to keep them open - God, I was so afraid to pass gas because I was completely numb in that area and couldn't feel a thing. Stick out tongue

This baby is gonna be a PITA for sure! I hope labor is easy, but the doctor said that most women get hemorrhoids during labor anyway, so I should only have to deal with a little extra soreness in that area - unless baby comes today or tomorrow. Then it will be painful.

WOW!! That was really dramatic. The same thing happened to my friend. She couldn't lay on her back at all. Bless your heart. Hope everything goes well.

There are no words. I am so sorry. You have a good sense of humour to be handling this so well. I took the worst poo of my life after DS was born and it's STILL not funny almost 2 years later. Hope you are feeling much better when baby arrives.
