Hi everyone! I'm having surgery this coming Friday May 9th, to excise my unwelcome houseguest, Girthrude the ovarian cyst!!!! I have been sick as a dog for years and I think I've finally found the culprit. I'm feeling hopeful!!!

Linked below is my amaz*n wishlist for things that would make my life easier during recovery if anyone wants to buy me presents 🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

Hi!!!!!!!! I am feeling so much better after surgery!!

My cyst (#mycyst) turned out to be an endometrioma that was stuck to basically everything in my pelvic region with endometrial adhesions Lol. My surgeon removed the cyst and my right ovary, and excised as much endo tissue as she could reach. She also removed my remaining fallopian tube yayyyy

I noticed a huge reduction in my mysterious inflammatory symptoms verrrrrrry quickly after surgery, in part i think due to all the NSAIDs i was taking but also like. endometriosis is inflammatory! it fucks with your immune system in ways that medical science still doesn't understand!!!!! we know SO little about this disease, it's fucking crazy. up until being diagnosed with the cyst I felt like i was going insane, feeling so sick but the only test that ever popped up positive was my c-reactive protein marker. Bleh

anyways, the first 3 days after surgery were the worst pain-wise. I had to walk hunched over like a little old lady Lmao. I had pretty minor gas pains, Gas-X cleared it all up pretty quick. My mom and my bf made sure i was up and walking around every hour just to keep everything moving along. Most of my pain was due to surgical swelling and incision pain. (and i had an allergic reaction to the glue they used to seal the incisions -_-) just keep on top of pain management and you will feel okay!
