the_siobhanCheck the calender. Tuesday. Only two days lost. Well that's not too bad. I've lost up to five in other episodes.
I am in the possession of a Killer Attack Womb. Which would be kinda cool if I could ever convince the fucking thing to attack other people.
Instead it concentrates all it's efforts on me. Yay.
It's called adenomyosis. The only treatment is painkillers and the only cure is removal of the uterus. It is the most excrutiatingly painful thing I've ever experienced in my life, and I end up having to take painkillers in such strength and amounts that I'm pretty much comatose until it's over with.
So every six to eight weeks I lose a couple of days. Or five. And stagger out of bed at the end with a narcotic-hangover, a parched throat and a stomach that thinks it's never going to see food ever again.
This has been going on for several years now. The doctor has been trying to find ways to deal with it that do not involve going under the knife, and up until now I've been mostly agreeing with him. Mostly because I'm terrified of surgery. Not the getting cut up part -- that doesn't bother me at all -- but the anaesthetic part. I hate being knocked out. I'd have everything under a local if I could.
However, I have come to a different conclusion of late.
I've had quite enough of this, thank you very much.
In our next installment, Siobhan threatens a doctor with grevous damage to life and limb unless he GETS THIS THING THE FUCK OUT OF ME.

Re: Sympathy
Date: 2002-06-12 11:32 am (UTC)My doctor reccomended a site called Hyster Sisters (http://www.hystersisters.com), which has message boards about hysterectomies, and the posts I read report that the women who have had spinal blocks had good experiences with them. You might want to check it out.
