Issues Issues

I still need to come back and post pics and the birth story but here's an update on what's going on now. Don't read on if you don't have a strong stomach.

So last Friday and Saturday I was having some bleeding issues - I was having these huge gushes of blood and then passing some larger clots. So after talking to the doctor 3 times between the two days I finally went to the ER on Saturday. Luckily we were at my parents house (we were making dinner for them and my sis and her hubby to say thank you for everything) and there is a satellite ER for AGMC right by my parents house in Bath. So we went there and I was in and out in a hour. They wanted to do an ultrasound but I would have needed to go to the main campus to get that done and after talking to my doc they decided not to send me. But my blood work came back fine and my exam went fine as well. So they had me go back to the doc on Monday. So Monday I see the doc and they want to do an ultrasound but again everything else was looking fine. So Weds this week I went for the ultrasound - it's what they thought - part of the placenta was still inside of me. I couldn't get in to see anyone Weds so I had to go back Fri (hello 3 times in 1 week!!). So now I get to have surgery on Tues to remove this part of the placenta that is still in there. It's about the size of a nickel. So they are going to knock me out for this because they coudl use a local and a numbing agent but I guess people still tend to squirm around a lot and because it's so precise what they are trying to do its easier to knock people out and just get it done. So I have to go at 1:30 pm on Tuesday and it's outpatient. So I will be in recovery for around 3 hrs and then I will get to come home. They said to take it easy that day but I should be back up and going on Weds.

Still waiting to hear what they are going to do about my gall stones. I just got the report sent over to my doc so hopefully next week I will hear something!!
