Can't type for long.

Hey all.

Shoulder killing me. Came out okay. Have endo. Fuckin' yay.

Will write-
Tried to type this up myself but no good. Too much pain. All I want to do is keep very, very still. Ouch. Thank you for your well-wishes.

I'm glad it went ok! Next thing: what happens now?

Feel better soon! You have to. It's a rule or something.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yep. Universal rule of Naceys. They must always feel better.

[likebunnies.livejournal.com]

Did they do that air in the abdomen thing that travels to your shoulder? That hurts like hell. What are they going to do next with your endo? Did they do anything this time? *hugs you gently*

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

They did. I'm now just able to cope with the pain anough to type a little. Rebutted some jerk on Oh No They Didn't who dared to compare Nick Carter to John Lennon. Fucking asswipe.

They didn't do anything this time. Will be in for yet another procedure. Oh.... yay. T_T

[likebunnies.livejournal.com]

Damn. My first procedure, they did the laparoscopy and the laser treatment to clean off my ovaries and stuff. That gave me some relief for a year and then I had it again. Too bad the only thing that gave me a lot of relief was being pregnant. It didn't hurt for years after having Damien but obviously, I can't keep getting pregnant and having more babies to treat endo.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Aww. Why not? You have cute babies, with big eyes and bubbie smiles.

...

I'm kidding. LOL. I hope to have a few years relief this time. I got important music stuff to do! :)

[likebunnies.livejournal.com]

LOL! Last night, my mom told me I need to have another one so we have a baby around again. I had to laugh because for ten years now, she's been telling me that the boisterous one we have is quite enough!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Bwahahaha. Yeah, we're lacking in babyness around here. I seriously want someone to have another one. Cause I love babies!!!

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes they did. I fucking hated it. I felt/feel like a freaking bouncy-castle.

They're going to open me up some time in May to get rid of it. Oh yay. More months of endo pain. :(

[nephron.livejournal.com]

Glad you're alive and you have an answer, at least.

Hope you'll recover quickly from the operation, and be significantly better soon.

*hugs*

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

*hugs* I will, there's just waiting. I hate wait.

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

aww babe, I'm so sorry :( but also really happy for you - it means you actually have/know whats wrong and while there isn't a cure (as far as I know) you can at least get some help to manage it, and have something tangable to tell those idiots who don't understand your pain

*hugs* hope the op pain leaves you as soon as possible

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yeah, there's a clear path to take now. It's helped me out, knowing that there's something I can do about all of this. And I don't feel guilty anymore. Guilt? All gone. This is real. It's not in my head. Kind of depressing and uplifting at the same time. Bizarre, huh? LOL!

[pooxs.livejournal.com]

yeah, very much of a "why am i celebrating about being sick?" thing. glad you're finally feeling up to replying to the wellwishers :)

[fallimar.livejournal.com]

Hey, the pain passes (however crap it is at the moment) and you know what the bastard is now. That's the hard part, now they can get rid of the bloody thing!

Woo! Glad it went nice and smoothly, *hugs* for now, and pancakes for later! :)

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yay pancakes!

[starfyre01.livejournal.com]

Glad that things went well for you - and now you know what's really been your problem all this time, too.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yes! Yes, the relief is unbelievable. (That it's not in my head, that is).

[http://users.livejournal.com/doctor_k_/]

Let's hope they zapped the bits of endo they saw.
The bloating and shoulder tip will settle down in a couple of days.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

They didn't. They're going back in four to six weeks to zap it. Gee. THANKS GUYS. *sigh*

[http://users.livejournal.com/doctor_k_/]

Are they giving you drugs to take to modify the endo for when they go back?

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

no.

[findle.livejournal.com]

*hugs*

Glad to hear it went well, and you REST UP. Just relax and have nice...Numb3rs dreams. *G*

Love ya, and get better soon. (cause we got j/g smut to work on).

hehe

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Mmm. Numb3rs dreams. Mmmm. Why Charlie... what ARE you going to do with that chalk-holder? *giggle-snort*

[mollymoon.livejournal.com]

At least you know now (and that will keep you sane, trust me on that). Keep heat on the shoulder constantly. I don't care if its still late summer/early fall down under.

Try to keep the upper part of your body at at least a 20 degree angle. Two pillows should do it. Remember, the gas inside you is lighter than air and wants to flow upwards, let it.

Three days and it will be gone, but I won't lie. Its a bad three days. I still think my hysterectomy was an easier surgery, but then pain had really skewed my perception by then.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Shoulder's better now. Tummy still sore. And I think I feel the endo pain. LOL. I'm very sleepy, too. I'm quite zonked but the lack of shoulder pain is still a novelty for me so getting me off the computer is a bit of a challenge. LOL. I keep thinking "Poirot is waiting for me. I need to find out who killed Roger Ackroyd!!" LOL.

Thank you for the advice, it was very helpful!

[mollymoon.livejournal.com]

Don't be shocked at all that you can distinguish between endo pain and other kinds of pain. When you are as exposed to something as we are to pain, you definately learn the nuances of it.

The only thing that's ever thrown me was the kidney stone last May. I was sure that that was my "normal pain", and until they found the stone on the MRI, I wouldn't let them admit me into hospital.

Stubborn ol' fuck, I am.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Mum's got funny. I was great this morning, now I've sort of back-slid cause I was up for so long. I was up typing mails and then my shoulder started killing me. Now I need to lie down a lot again, and Mum is reticent to make me a sandwich. I honestly don't think I could do it and she's mad, I think.

Oh well.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There's jabbing pain, flowering pain, niggling pain, trickling pain, shooting pain, burning pain... you know the rest.

Hmmm. Yeah, I'm a stubborn fuck too. I need my teeth fixed and I still haven't gotten around to it.

[lykeleia.livejournal.com]

GAH! *HUGZ* So glad you're ok. :)

[spikesbuffy.livejournal.com]

*hugs you*

I'm just glad you know(finally!!) what's wrong. Get lots of rest, muppet.

*smooch*

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

*hugs* love you muppety.

[aeditimi.livejournal.com]

Glad you came out okay. Feel better soon in whatever time it takes to feel comepletely better.

[cedargrove.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Feel better soon... as others have said, at least now you know that you were right, you /do/ have endo and that you can move forward and get it treated. *hugs*

[rainfletcher.livejournal.com]

Yes, better to know than to wonder. The Not Knowing is always the part that sucks. Now the treatment can begin.

I know that in many ways you still don't know me from Adam, but for what it's worth, I'm so damn proud of you.

[logansrogue.livejournal.com]

I know you from Adam. Adam is my ex-boyfriend. I talk to you way more than I ever talk to him. LOL!

[mawaridi.livejournal.com]

*gentle hugs* Like people are saying, it's good to know for sure and not just have mystery pain. I should go to the doctor about my mystery pain, because facts are easier to deal with than wonderings, but I'm scared of being told facts I don't want to hear :)

Hope you feel better soon. My thoughts are with you <3

[mags0522.livejournal.com]

At least you know what is wrong now, and you have a course of action. I'm just sorry that you have to go through the procedure again.

[secrets-n-lies.livejournal.com]

best wishes hun, thinking of you.

[sugaryfun.livejournal.com]

It's great to hear you're okay! At least you know for sure what the problem is now, that's got to be a start, right? I hope your recovery goes as quickly and smoothly as possible.

[phoenixwriter.livejournal.com]

Belated well wishes... Sorry

[nousia.livejournal.com]

Oh no. :(

*hugs you gently*
