Welp, I left work early today because of my pelvic pain. This is getting to be a monthly occurrence. Ever since I had my Mirena removed last year my cycle has become increasingly more painful. I'm certain there is scarring in there from when the sadistic doctor yanked (yes, yanked) it from my insides, knowing it was embedded in the c-section scar tissue. Oy vay! Sorry for the gory details. Anyhoo, since then I've reverted back to the gut wrenching pain I experienced as a teen. My mother is convinced it's endometriosis and I can't say I disagree.
I slept the afternoon away & woke up feeling a bit better. I was able to get the kiddo & start making dinner at a reasonable hour so that was nice. Working until 6:00 does suck, sometimes. Dinner tonight consisted of ribeye on the Cuisinart (a much better 2nd attempt), oven roasted corn on the cob, garlic rosemary potatoes, and baked beans for the guys. Sorry for the food porn, but I do like to share! Is it technically food porn if it's healthy? I think maybe not.
So I'm not sure what my "starting weight" was at home, exactly but I think it was around 250. As of this morning I'm at 246.2 according to my new scale. I'm happy with my progress & looking forward to seeing what the scale at the doctor's office says.
My EGD, psych exam, and ultrasound are coming up a week from Friday. After that I just have to see my new PCP to get a letter of clearance/recommendation & finish my nutrition appointments then I'm all done! Hopefully time goes by quickly!
That's all for now, have a good night!
so sorry to hear about the pain...hope today is a better day! Time is already flying by and look how well you are doing now...I know you are going to have an amazing journey and I am so glad to be here with you!
ReplyDeleteThat first paragraph made me want to slap the holy hell out of your doctor! Is there another, less sadistic doctor that can take a look and see if anything can be done to relieve the pain?
ReplyDeleteI've had 2 ultrasounds with my new doc in the past year which reveal nothing. The next step is laproscopic surgery to determine a diagnosis of either endometriosis or adhesions. I opted to wait on that for now & just manage the pain.
