I just realized I never updated on how I'm doing since my surgery.
Things are going pretty good. I did start exercising the first of January. The first day I took it really easy and felt good. Well, the way my mind works...it felt good, let's go harder! That didn't work out so well, lots of pain the next day! So I took a couple of days off and started slow again.
Just this week I was able to run 1/2 mile!!! No pain the next day!!!
I'm going to have to say the surgery is working so far.
The next step is finding the right birth control that will suppress my menstrual cycle, but not wreak havoc on my system. I'm not too keen so far on what he put me on after my post-op appointment. BAD mood swings, plus other not so fun symptoms. Will try it for another couple of weeks and see if symptoms go away. If not, will talk to him about something different.
The suppression of the menstrual cycle will slow down any re-growth of the endometriosis. Crazy disease...see link in the sidebar to learn more.
