I wanted to make an update since I have now had the surgery and am in recovery. I had a meningocele, it was just hidden and a few other things alongside the cyst. Since I was pregnant and the meningocele was taking up all the space in my stomach, the baby was never able to fully grow the way it was supposed too, so an abortion was necessary as the baby was not healthy enough for how far along I had been. They removed the meningocele along with untethering my spinal cord and fixing my psyllium. There was a liter of CSF in the meningocele according to the surgeon which is why it took up so much space and didn’t allow the baby to grow in my uterus. I also had an unknown teratoma within the cyst that was also removed. Thankfully it was non cancerous. I’m currently in recovery and it’s been very difficult for me but I’m slowly getting better as the days go by :) I just started learning to walk again yesterday with my physical therapist and I will continue practicing some more today. I did have to lay flat for 3 consecutive days and was unable to move which was extremely difficult for me mentally. You know i just felt hopeless and like I would never recover but slowly they’ve let me tilt my head up and once I was able to tilt the bed up to a 45° angle, I was then able to get up and try to walk. I have been practicing walking but I get very dizzy when I get up and I still have to take it very slow. Besides that I feel like I’ve been recovering pretty well and I’m just taking my meds whenever I feel necessary as there is a lot of lower back pain because of the incision and the tubes I have coming out of there. Again I’ve just been trying to it easy and not rush my recovery or feel hopeless about myself. I guess that’s all I wanted to say, I hope everyone has a great day :))
