Pictars of my insides... (ookie organs warning)

[DreamerTheresa]

Yay! So, below, you will find nice appetizing pics of my innards from my surgery last week.

Top left: Not sure what part of my anatomy we're looking at, but the stuff that looks like saran wrap is scar tissue. It even has its own fat supply. HUZZAH!


Top right: Bladder and uterus are labeled. My bladder is ATTACHED TO MY UTERUS via scar tissue. Joy.

Bottom: post-scar tissue removal on my uterus.



I got more crap removed than originally anticipated. Of course, we all thought we were diving in my abdominal cavity for endometriosis (something that really can't be diagnosed until I'm cut open anyway). Thankfully, it was just a pantload of scar tissue left over from a botched appendix removal when I was 13. At least scar tissue can't grow back like endometrial tissue can.


Mike's going to have to correct me, but from what I can recall my doc saying was that scar tissue was removed from: my ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, bladder, and colon. Woot.



So I'm still rather uncomfortable. I can finally stand up straight and navigate stairs.


Mike thinks it's goddamn hysterical to try to make me laugh, as it hurts like a motherfucker.


Again, I thank everyone for all the happy thoughts and wishes and prayers they've sent my way. :love:

Got to see pics of when the doc tied my tubes but he wouldn't let me keep them

Good to know that tissue won't grow back and give you more problems. Feel better soon!

Hi insides.

I'm glad you're doing well. The most entertaining section needs a mod, and Mike needs someone to keep him from going nuts :icon_razz
