Frown Been in hospital

Hi everyone, sorry I have not been around. I had the bladder distention and biopsy for my IC last week and ended up having complications. I started having horrible pain and bleeding on Monday and my doctor was not taking it seriously, I ended up finally convincing them to see me on Tuesday because I lost more blood and clots and was not able to eat or drink anything. I saw my new GYN and found out my endometriosis is back and in my hysterectomy scar and basically the doctor had been making it worse because all she did was put me on straight estrogren for about two years! So, I was upset about that and then I went to my Uro appointment and they made me wait over an hour and then finally saw me and saw that I was urinating blood! They made me have a catheter treatment and irrigation without numbing meds and I cried and begged them to stop and after they cleaned out more clots and blood and I almost passed out on the table they sent me to the hospital. I had to have another surgery yesterday because the bleeding would not stop and when they finally went in they saw that a clot had come off the biopsy places and I had been bleeding from an artery! If I would not have had the surgery I would have kept bleeding and I would have bled to death! It was extremely scary because of the blood and clots but also the horrible excruiating pain that was the worse pain I have ever been through (and I am counting kidney stones and spine stuff). I am still in alot of pain but they finally let me go home with a bunch of medicines. I have horrible spasms that cause my body to shake everytime I drink something and go to the bathroom. This week has been really bad on me! This also started up while we were planning our wedding ceremony and looking forward to the wedding is the only thing that is getting me through all this bad health stuff. We won't even know if the distention helped anything for another few weeks and if not I have to go back on the catheter treatments I also found out my bad kidney is doing so bad that it is making my healthy kidney work harder and I have kidney stones in the bad one again. Now I am up to a total of having 16 surgeries since I was seventeen years old! My stim has been doing great though so that is a positive but anyway I just wanted to let you all know what had been going on. I will be around when I can since I am still recovering from this surgery and in a lot of pain , hope you all are doing well. Take care!
