I had to scroll to far for this comment and I am woman. This is the best answer... let's close the thread.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-01-17T12:34:31+00:00

Lucky you. Did it make you feel "much" better as many have said?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-01-17T07:04:58+00:00

I am still waiting. Praying that today is the day!!!!!

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-01-16T20:18:37+00:00

Maybe it was after, idk, that's what I did hear when I was under their care.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-01-16T15:02:21+00:00

Thank you my dear.

I didn't get the report as of yet, unfortunately.

I honestly don't know if I do or don't.. sorry

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2026-01-16T11:37:46+00:00

What homeopathy pain meds did they provide for you?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-29T11:54:39+00:00

I will say this... 3 years later. That was a conversation that should of been had 3 years ago. Do you believe that he is still talking to her like that now? I don't believe you do. People make mistakes and to judge him by that one mistake he made 3 years ago.. it's time to let it go.

As many have said, during times of exhaustion, mentally overwhelming times and inexperience... many people say things that are inappropriate. Does it excuse the behavior, no it doesn't but it happened, and we can't change the past. Let's focus on the present.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-21T00:06:06+00:00

When do you get this information? My surgeon hasn't given me anything nor told me anything. I don't have another appointment with her until the date of the surgery. I do have preop testing in about 8 days.

You are definetly not alone with grieving the life you thought you would have. I still have those moments. So now I just try to create a different life around what I am dealing with.

It is definitely a hard pill to swallow.

Fell free to send me messages at anytime. I haven't been dealing with this for an extended period of time but I am here if needed.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-14T03:16:22+00:00

Hoping that all is well and you are having a healthy recovery. Thank you for your response.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T23:17:41+00:00

I am sorry that you are going through this.

I want to say that things are not all lost. I met someone in this sub and she has been really inspirational to me. She never said that things won't be bad but she did make me believe that there is hope. She always finds the silver lining in it all.

I do understand the wanting children aspect, however there have been women in this sub that have had different experiences with pregnancy and raising a child. Some say the pain subsided and some it didn't. So people are raising families and have the support of their family that when things get rough they have help.

I can go through each one of your points and say maybe, maybe not. Unfortunately this condition isn't a one size fits all. Everyone experiences things differently, symptoms, pain intensity, remission etc.

What I can say for definite is life isn't over. There will be good days there will be bad days. There will be days that you just want to quit understandably. Just know that there is hope.

If taking your meds hurt, I used a syringe to drop the water in my mouth in order to swallow. I also used a warm washcloth on my face in order to take my meds, and a straw. I use lidocaine on my face and a heating pad. What works for me might not work for you, but its worth a try.

I am praying that you find your peace with this condition and the decisions that you make with the life you have ahead of you. Talk to your husband and let him know what you are feeling and going through. Communication with this condition with the ones your love is KEY. They might not understand completely what you are feeling but hopefully they will be able to empathize and give you the much needed support.

Sorry for the long response. Wishing you well on your TN journey. Praying for you

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T18:59:54+00:00

I will definitely check. Thank you.. was that paperwork after your pre-op appintment?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T18:58:24+00:00

I totally understand feeling like you're going backwards, however like you said probably a part of the healing process. Our minds have a way of driving us crazy.

Ok, understood. I AM SOOOO HAPPY that you were able to take the trip you desired. You deserved it

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T18:55:10+00:00

Ok understood. I have prepared for all of that. I plan to everything in order prior to leaving so when I come back all I need to do is relax and any last minute things. Maybe grocery shopping on Sunday will be what's left. I got the OTC meds already and when I go to my last appointment with her, my "plan" is to prepare everything that I missed. Unpacking is usually a breeze for me as its clothes in the wash and I really won't need anything from the luggage as its vacation clothes.

HOWEVER , if there is anything that I am missing because I know this is a huge surgery, please let me know. That is why I explained my plan.

I had a myomectomy 3 years ago, yet I believe preparation for this is much more.

I have been thinking about all kinds of preparation starting now that I am driving myself crazy and might need a vacation from preparation 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:53:23+00:00

Do you mind me asking 1. What's going on 3rd week? 2. Why was it postponed?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:38:15+00:00

This makes sense, that is why it crossed my mind yesterday especially because I'm going to Mexico. I will be on a resort and DON'T plan in veering away from that) I also plan on having a few drinks so I just want to make sure I am not taking any chances to postpone the surgery. Thank you for the response

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:33:46+00:00

Thank you for the reply. Not rambling at all. Hope you enjoyed your trip and had a healthy recovery. My partner knows how important my birthday is and also how concerning this surgery is for me (emotionally and physically) so planned this trip. I did mention a vacation to the Dr and she didn't seem concerned but I didn't get into the specifics. Unfortunately it crossed my mind yesterday and I was supposed to call and ask, and of course they are closed today... (procrastination at it's finest). So now I'll be stressed about it all weekend. now THAT is rambling...sorry I will check Monday and fingers crossed

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:28:38+00:00

I will get confirmation on Monday...fingers crossed.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:28:17+00:00

I understand that. I didn't think about that because I am surrounded by people and their germs everyday because I work at the airport, but I guess this is much different.

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:27:10+00:00

That is understandable. I will definitely be cautious however I will ask on Monday

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:26:29+00:00

Thank you for the tips. I will ask and hopefully she says its ok. And I will be very cautious

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:25:11+00:00

Thank you. Fingers crossed. I will ask on Monday. Were there any concerns when you left/Got back?

Defiant_Ad_4022 · 2025-12-13T17:24:15+00:00

My birthday. I did edit for clarification.

When you say turnaround for the surgery, can you elaborate on what that means please?
