Dear Diary,
Last night was truly unexpected. Let me start from the beginning…remember last March when I had the super crazy periods and I went to see the obgyn? Well since starting Tamoxifen I haven’t had a period. The week before surgery and the week post op I wasn’t supposed to take it. The hot flashes came back HARD and apparently so did my period….
I know I said I wouldn’t do disclaimers but this is about to be graphic…
Yesterday Kimchi went to daycare from 10:00 – 5:00 pm. He had nap time but he was playing for HOURS! He hasn’t done a full day since before the pandemic. When he got home he plopped on the couch next to me and fell asleep. He was sleeping for a good hour and then I felt like I was sitting in something wet. I looked at him and was like oh hell no he’s so tired he pissed on the couch. Then I looked and realized he couldn’t have peed enough to get it that far. Then I thought fuck, did I pee on myself?! I stood up and the white blanket I keep on my couch was COVERED with blood. It looked like a freakin murder. I started saying oh fuck, oh fuck and Jimmy came out and asked what happened. I grabbed the blanket to throw it in the washer and he looked at couch to see if it was stained and lemme tell you Scotchgaurd is fucking legit! Anyway I sat down on the toilet and blood was gushing out like no tomorrow. It finally stopped long enough to shower and put in a fresh pad and I was filling an over night pad in less than 2 hrs and I was passing clots that were the size of sunflowers! For a solid 4 hours I was like a damn fire hose…I know at this point I’m supposed to go the ER in theory but I didn’t feel faint or have any other symptoms. But I mean that was 6 months of not having a period…that’s a lot to build up in my uterus. I did do a video visit with the newest doctor in my family…side note I’m so proud of Ciara! She said to wait it out since I don’t feel anything so that’s what I did.
Now I’m back to the normal amount of a period… I went to sleep hoping I wouldn’t wake up to another crime scene and thankfully I didn’t. I think once I passed those big ass clots I was good.
Why the fuck am I sharing my CSI experience? I want to have it documented in case I need to refer to it.
Anyway since my last entry I saw my surgeon and she is so happy with how I’m healing and how I feel. I found a new band of scar tissue on my ribs and it hurts like a mofo! Carolyn my pt knows it’s painful and was more gentle on that than she is with the abdomen but maaaan…pt is the worst and best feeling. Hopefully the scar tissue in my belly goes away soon and more importantly the one of my ribs…G
