Life can be a Pain

[Owlunar]

Hi @utopia

My daughter had a laparascopy for endometriosis - a curette and then had a mirena put in to help with her bad periods and I am furious that they put and IUD into right after her curette - she has had serious pain and the tablets made her throw up and she has been really ill for what was supposed to be a couple of days off work

But she won't be going back to work at least until the end of the week - and am shocked at what has happened but I spoke to my doctor and he said that was not what he thought of as good - the mirena could have gone in after her uterus had recovered from the curette.

I KNEW there was something wrong - I just knew - mother's instinct or something like that - and yet I know it's not good saying anything except being comforting and kind to her - she is a very private person and having a strange feeling that things had gone wrong was really tough

Now I have said what I wasn't going to - but I needed to say it I think

Geezus @Owlunar that would be so painful for her. They were suppose to help her not make it worse.
Your mothers instinct was right on key by the sounds of it

[Owlunar]

@outlander- thanks for your kind comments

Yes - mother's instinct - I only learned today how sick she has been and they were supposed to help her and this is a really bad thing to have happened

I do really care for her - they told me I was most unlikely to ever have a baby but after we had adopted our son I got pregnant by surprise then after a premature birth I had her and she had a rough start at 8 months and she is a miracle

She doesn't like talking about that though - I guess she doesn't like feeling so special but that is not going to stop me thinking about her and caring and loving and supporting

So yes - no wonder I have been feeling off - not just unwell myself but had this creepy feeling about her all the time as well

But she finally was well enough to talk to me -

Of course it wont shes your baby even though shes grown up. Maybe bow youve spoken to her anf your instincts have been set straight you might feel a little calmer too. I hope she recovers soon. Id be rather upset too if that was me or someone i knew @Owlunar hoping you can sleep alittle easier knowing whats wrong and also she has been treated as well by someone else and is helping her.

@Owlunar. How bloody awful. Are doctors really that stupid? Wven I know not to put anything in there, after a curette, or birth or termination. Shite. That's asking for an infection to occur. And her uterus will be so sore and raw after the curette. What were they thinking. Your poor little girl. Not so little. I know she's an adult. But you get what I mean.
Yes I imagine it will take longer to recover after all of that.
I'm not a big fan of IUD's. They've always scared me.
Anyway. No wonder you are so stresses out. I know it's not up to you, but I hope your daughter puts a complaint in to rhat hospital.

Hi @utopia

She won't complain - I would but we are very different and she takes life as it comes and I am proactive

I have never used an IUD - she has had a tubal ligation - the IUD is supposed to ease her bad and frequent periods - and yes - it is really wrong to put an interurine device in right after anything

I have had a lot of curettes - mostly after a miscarriage - I never had h stuff after that - I hardly ever used birth control - didn't need to except just after I got the kids and then not for long - 

Yes - poor little girl - I understand that - there are times when I could have her back in my nest for a while and this is one of them - but I know she won't

Hi @Owlunar ....👋

I am up early with a budding cold and head-spin from changing time zones again yesterday.  I just wanted to pop in this morning nad say thank you for the tags you have sent my way this week that I have hardly responded to.  

I think you picked up that it was our Easter one week after Aussie Easter this year, and our preparations are a bit like Christmas and New Year rolled into one.  I was back over West, catching up with the other half of the family over there, and am now back amongst the east coasters, trying to work out which way is up again .....

Hi to @utopia @outlander @Former-Member and anyone else around.  Wishing you a calm and peaceful Tuesday.

💐💕

Hi @Faith-and-Hope

Yes - I know your Easter and ours are often on different weekends and I think I know why - but it can be confusing

I'm glad you are back on the east coast - and oh no - you have the beginnings of the dreaded lurgie - not good - and jet lag as well. I am thinking of Darwin for my next holiday - not going while my legs are so sore but I will be crossing time lines then - esp if I do what I really want to go to the Top End - to fly over the Kimberley

But it does screw with your head - changing your time zones - I don't even like changing the clocks - even going onto Standard Time - just an hour makes me wonder which way is up at times - and yes - either way changing the time is no fun at all

Glad to see you back Faith

Oh that makes sense now Dec, your daughter, this Marina may need to be removed. Ive heard they hurt to have put in place. Poor thing, not fair. 🌹🌴🌹

@Owlunar. My son is the opposite of me too @Owlunar. He wouldn't complain. He just goes with the flow. A lot like your daughter.
Hi @Faith-and-Hope. So which state are you in now?
