Nothing. Not a damn thing :(
I've had a severe case of endometriosis since I was 18 (So, almost 11 years now). This has included 3 surgeries, a 4th to remove a growth in my cervix, which was a cancer scare, which I refused to tell anyone about (I just told them the surgery was to remove a cyst, no big). Also includes hormones to induce a false menopause to slow down the endometrial tissue from growing.
Well, for the past few months I've been having pain again. Last night something happened and I had pain so bad I couldn't breathe. I was freaking out, calling every lady I know asking "have you ever had a cyst burst, what's it feel like, what did you do" ect. Because honestly, I didn't know. Hadn't had pain that bad since they found the mess when I was 18. Called the doctor on call at the ER, explained things to him best I could (I was hysterical), he just said "use your best judgement" So, screw the ER. I didn't go.
ANYWAY, I did part of my POA this morning. I called the doctor, asked for the nurse to call me back. Talked to her, short version is stay the fuck off your feet except for your therapy tomorrow (I told her everything). She also said come in for the ultrasound monday, which I already had scheduled anyway.
The POA for today, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday:
Tomorrow: therapy. Then don't get up unless I have to pee.
Saturday: Not a damn thing
Sunday: Not a damn thing
Monday: Ultrasound, then not a damn thing.
Firgured I'd go on and put all this out there so I don't have to make a POA for a few days. Because the POA is NOTHING.
This sucks.

I'm feeling down,, and got alot on my mind right now. I got grief going on, on top my depression and anxiety and now I got to worry about somewhere to live since I can't afford living here since my mom passed. So many bad things have happened since my mom passed. One thing after another it seems. Yesterday our fence fell from a storm that hit, had to call someone to prop it up. Thank...

Just wanted to give a thank you to Mid, Arfie, Malibumark, Greeneyes, Mlro, Girlincalif, and Suncloudjd! You all always have such helpful tips and advice, but I always forget to write on my posts when I see you post, lol. I would lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body, lol. Thank you all so much! I'm starting to use my AI app as a sounding board again. I used to use it as that before...
SO add to that POA, (or rather, PPOA, possible plan of action) to go to the ER if it happens again before the ultrasound.
And YES. Female problems are a bitch.
(Good John Waters movie called "Female Problems" though. Pretty weird and dumb, so I love it)
But yeah, I've been begging for a hysterectomy since this all started over a decade ago. Jesus, man just rip it out and throw it in the toilet. Damn.
BUT the big thing was I was too young, but now that I'll be 29 this year, hopefully this time around they'll do it. If insurance covers it. If insurance doesn't cover it until I'm 30, I'm going to go on and say "just schedule me for a hysterectomy in a year and couple of months, mmmkay?"
I'm glad you will take time to rest and I really hope things get better pain wise and soon...
