Rough Couple Of Months
JUST NEED TO VENT. MY FATHER DIED THE END OF JANUARY AFTER A MONTH OF HOSPICE CARE, I WAS PREPARED BUT IT WAS STILL DIFFICULT. THEN I STARTED THINKING SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH ME, I FELT BLOATED AND COULD SIMPLY NOT LOSE ANY WEIGHT. A MONTH BEFORE I TOLD MY DOCTOR I HAD BEEN COUGHING A-LOT AND GAGING. HE PRESCRIBED SOMETHING AND IT HELPED BUT NEVER WENT AWAY. I THOUGHT MAYBE I'M JUST NOT WELL FROM ALL THE STRESS OF MY FATHER PASSING. I WENT IN WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT AND TOLD HIM I FEEL STUFFED & BLOATED. BY THIS TIME MY STOMACH WAS DISTENDED AND I WAS REALLY STARTING TO PANIC. THEY SENT ME FOR AN ULTRASOUND & CT AND DON'T YOU JUST KNOW I HAD AN OVARIAN TUMOR. I HAD SURGERY A WEEK AGO AND THEY DID A HYSTERECTOMY AND OPENED MY ABDOMEN UP, I HAD 2 TUMORS, ONE ON EACH OVARY. THEY HAD TO PUT A CHEST TUBE IN ME BECAUSE I HAD FLUID IN MY CHEST AS WELL AS THE ABDOMEN. I HAD TUBES EVERYWHERE AND SPENT 5 DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL. I WILL SEE MY ONCOLOGISTS IN 2 WEEKS. NOT SURE WHATS NEXT. I THINK I'M KINDA IN SHOCK. I FEEL LIKE I'M WATCHING IT HAPPENED TO SOMEONE ELSE.
