Thank you everyone for the prayers! :). :hug1:

The surgery went well and I’m recovering quickly. There were only two implants of Endometriosis so the doctor isn’t sure the Endometriosis is/was the sole cause of my pain this time. We won’t know for another few weeks just how much pain is lasting, so we wait and see. He told me this could be a lasting battle with pain even with all visible endometriosis removed. I guess some women are never rid of the sensation of pain no matter how clear they are of the actual implants, their bodies in a sense don’t know how else to feel as they have felt the pain for so long. We’ll see, but it’s kind of disheartening news and hard to get used to the fact this may be a chronic and permanent battle. 😦

It seems like you are undergoing purgatory on this earth.

Still praying for you.

Happy to hear it went well! I’ll continue to keep you in my prayers. Do you mind if I ask whether he used excision or ablation?

So sorry to hear about this, and I will keep you in my prayers.

In the meantime, in case you haven’t already, you might consider offering up your pain like St. Paul did in Colossians 1:24–" Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I do my share on behalf of His body, which is the church, in filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions."
 
Thank you all for the continued prayers.

The pain does seem a little less, but then I’m not being active yet which is often when the pain is most intense. Hopeful at least. 🙂

On a sad note though this surgery has set off my mental health issues and I’m experiencing severe suicidal depression. Ugh! 😦

Praying to St Michael for his intercession and deliverance. One thing that might help your severe suicidal depression until you get back on track and stable with the meds, is to watch a Marathon of saints movies. There are some for free streaming at gloria.tv

Sounds like a mixed bag of news. Continuing to pray for you. I think of your situation daily.
 
Thank you for the prayers! :hug1:

My mood/emotional health has improved! 🙂 I think I was experiencing withdraw side effects from getting off of oxycodone. That I can even be off of it is pretty amazing. So the pain has definitely decreased some since surgery, Praise God! 👍 Back on the Hydrocodone and ibuprofen combo. I tolerate it much better. :yup: Thank you all for your continued prayers and concern, I know for certain they help me a ton! Post op appointment next week and we will be discussing physical therapy as a pain management approach.

Convert,
I am so sorry to hear this news about the pain. I know you are exhausting every possible avenue for treatment for endometriosis and pain relief and I PRAY for you that something will work soon for you.

God Bless,

Mary.
