#laparoscopy meaning

[crystaivfdel]

What is the average cost of a laparoscopy?

If you are considering laparoscopy in India, you might be wondering about the cost. Laparoscopy, a surgical technique that uses tiny incisions and a camera, has revolutionized many procedures. 

The laparoscopic surgery cost in India: The cost can vary significantly, ranging anywhere from ₹33,250 to a whopping ₹2,50,000 for laparoscopic surgery in India.

Why the disparity? Several factors influence the final bill. The type of laparoscopy itself plays a big role. A simple appendix removal will likely cost less than a complex endometriosis surgery. Hospital tier and geographical location also come into play, with plush facilities in Tier-1 cities potentially having higher costs compared to smaller hospitals.

Beyond the Surgery: Don't forget to consider the surgeon's fees, anesthesia charges, and hospital stay. These costs can add up. Insurance coverage can be helpful, so it's important to check with your provider to understand what your plan covers for laparoscopic procedures.

Tips for Decoding Laparoscopy Costs:

Be Upfront with Your Doctor: Discuss your financial issues with your doctor. They can give you an estimate based on your specific procedure and your chosen hospital.

Ask for an itemized bill. Ask for a detailed breakdown of the charges before you go for surgery.

Explore Options: If cost is a major concern, discuss alternatives with your doctor. In some cases, traditional surgery might be a more affordable option, depending on the condition.

Remember: The cost is just one piece of the puzzle. Laparoscopy offers several advantages, like minimal scarring, faster recovery times, and less pain. Weigh these benefits along with the cost to make an informed decision for your health.

i think people don't talk enough about how humiliating it is to have an invisible illness and it gets to the point that you don't want to go to the doctor for anything because you're so used to not being treated that it's like what's the point

[cakesexuality]

I've been disabled for almost 29 years. Here's what I've learned.

Tablets sink and capsules float. Separate out your tablets and capsules when you go to take them. Tip your head down when taking capsules and up when taking tablets. Liquigels don't matter, they kinda stay in the middle of whatever liquid is in your mouth.

If your pill tastes bad, coat it with a bit of butter or margarine. I learned this from my mom, who learned it from a pharmacist.

Being in pain every day isn't normal. Average people experience pain during exceptional moments, like when they stub their toe or jam their finger in a door, not when they sit cross-legged.

Make a medical binder. Make multiple medical binders. I have a small one that comes with me to appointments and two big ones that stay at home, one with old stuff and one with more recent stuff.

Find your icons. Some of mine include Daya Betty (drag queen with diabetes), Stef Sanjati (influencer with Waardenburg syndrome and ADHD), and Hank Green (guy with ulcerative colitis who... does a bunch of stuff). They don't have to be disabled in the same way as you. They don't even have to be real people. Put their pictures up somewhere if you want; I've been meaning to decorate my medical binders with pictures of my icons.

Take a bin, box, bag, basket, whatever and fill it with items to cope with. This can be stuff for mentally coping like colouring books or play clay or stuff for physically coping like pain medicine or physio tape.

Decorate your shit! My cane for at home has a plushie backpack clip hanging from the end of the handle and my cane for going places is covered in stickers. All of my medical binders have fun scrapbooking paper on the outside. Sometimes, I put stickers and washi tape on my inhalers and pill bottles. I used my Cricut to decorate my coping bin with quotes from my icons, like "I've seen enough of Ba Sing Se" and "I need you to be angrier with that bell".

If a flare-up is making you unable to eat or keep food down, consider going to the ER. A pharmacist once told me that since my eye flares can make me so nauseous that I cannot eat, then I need to go to the hospital when that happens.

Cola works wonders for nausea. I have mini cans of Diet Pepsi in my coping bin.

Shortbread is one of the only things I can eat when nauseous. Giant Tiger sells individually-wrapped servings of shortbread around Christmas or the British import store sells them year-round. I also keep these in my coping bin.

Unless it violates a pain contract or something, don't be afraid to go behind your doctor's back to get something they are refusing you. I got my cardiologist referral by getting in with a different NP at my primary care clinic than who I usually saw. I switched from Seroquel to Abilify by visiting a walk-in.

If you have a condition affecting your abdomen in some way (GI issues, reproductive problems, y'know) then invest in track pants that are too big. I bought some for my laparoscopy over a year ago and they've been handy for pelvic pain days, too. I've also heard loose pants are good for after colonoscopies.

Do whatever works, even if it's weird. I've sat on the floor of the Eaton Centre to take my pills. I've shoved heating pads down my front waistband to reach my uterus.

High-top Converse are good for weak ankles. I almost exclusively wear them.

You can reuse your pill bottles for stuff. I use my jumbo ones to store makeup sponges and my long skinny ones to hold a travel-size amount of Q-Tips.

Just because your diagnostics come back with nothing, it doesn't mean nothing is wrong. Maybe you were checking the wrong thing, or the diagnostic tool wasn't sensitive enough. I have bradycardia episodes even though multiple cardiac tests caught nothing. I probably have endometriosis even though my gynecologist didn't see anything.

You can bring your comfort item to appointments, and it's generally a green flag when someone talks to you about it. I brought a Squishmallow turkey (named Ulana) to my laparoscopy and they had her wearing my mask when I woke up. I brought a Build-A-Bear cat (named Blinx) to another procedure and a nurse told me that everyone in the hall on the way to the procedure room saw him and were talking about how cute he was. Both of those ended up being positive experiences and every person who talked to me about my plushies was nice to me. If you don't feel comfortable having it visible to your provider during the appointment, you can hide it in your bag and just know it's there, or if you're in a video appointment, you can hold it below frame in your lap.

Get a small bucket, fill it with stuff, and stick it in your bed (if you have room for it). I filled a bucket with Ensure, juice boxes, oatmeal bars, lotion, my rescue inhaler, etc. in October 2023 in anticipation of my laparoscopy and I still have it in my bed as of January 2025.

If your disability impacts your impulse control (e.g. ADHD, bipolar disorder), you should consider setting limits around your spending -- no more than X dollars at a time, nothing online unless it's absolutely necessary, and so on. Or, run these purchases by someone you trust before committing to them; I use my BFF groupchat to help talk sense into myself when I buy stuff.

Feel free to add on what you've learned about disability!

The Road to Recovery

An epilogue for The Devil Likes the Pirate Series

Tara Carpenter x Reader

Word Count: 3.2k

Summary: Is it worth the effort to repair your relationships, or should you just let your friends go?

Warnings: Talk about injuries, nothing super gory

A/N: The epilogue is here (finally)! I hope it wraps up the series nicely. Thank you all so much for reading <3

The road to recovery, as it’s often said to be, is going to be a long one. You are confined to your hospital bed for a minimum of two weeks, set to undergo observation and a multitude of x-rays until your body has recovered enough for a laparoscopy to ensure that your wounded organs have properly healed. 

You internally groan when the nurse informs you of your long stay. The next two weeks are going to be extremely boring, especially because you've been instructed not to move unless you’re being visited by your physical therapist or it is absolutely necessary to do so.

If it’s not bad enough that you can’t move, as with every other hospital, your only form of entertainment is watching the crappy TV shows provided by the hospital’s very limited cable subscription. 

As much as you want to grumble and complain, all the effort that it’s going to take for you to heal is worth it because it means that you’re still alive. If your traumatic near death experience has taught you anything, it’s that you have to be thankful for life and its hardships even when you are desperately wishing for things to be easier.

In an effort to uplift your mood, you switch on the TV, dig into a cup of jello, and carefully shift into a comfortable position.

***

The two cups of jello that you ate must’ve had the same effects on you as a Thanksgiving feast, because your eyes droop shut during the second episode of Property Brothers. 

It’s darker when you awake, and after blinking away the sleep in your eyes, you notice that you have a visitor.

“Kirby?” 

The FBI Agent turns her head in your direction with a grin, “Hey kid!”

You both take a second to scan the other’s injuries. There’s an array of bandages on her face and you can just barely make out the thick gauze hiding underneath her loose shirt. 

Kirby’s lips curve into a frown at your pale and weak form, “He really did a number on you huh?”

You nod, “But the doctors say I’ll be okay.”

She shuffles over to stand right beside your bed, “I’m glad.”

There’s so much you want to say to Kirby that it takes a good few moments to gather your thoughts together. Ever since Tara told you that Kirby had survived, you haven’t stopped thinking about how grateful you are for the older woman. She trusted you when no one else did. 

“Kirby, I- I really can’t even begin to say how much I appreciate you having my back. I don’t think I would be here if it weren’t for you.”

She shakes her head, “I only did what was right, no need to thank me.”

Tears prick your eyes, “But I do need to thank you. You didn’t even know me but you were still there for me. None of my friends can say the same.”

Kirby sighs and gently grabs your hand. “I’m sorry. Have you talked to any of them about it yet?”

A shakily exhale leaves your chest. Though you’d seen Tara a few times, the two of you still hadn’t talked things through. You were terrified that it would break the honeymoon phase you and she were living in if you approached the topic, so you refused to bring it up. You knew from Tara that Mindy had been released from the hospital, but the Meeks-Martin girl had still made no effort to come see you. You tried your best not to hold it against her, but deep down it made you even more sad to know she was avoiding you all together.

A few tears trail down your cheeks, “No. Mindy’s treating me like I’m the plague and I’m too scared to talk to Tara about it.”

The agent squeezes your hand in an attempt to bring you comfort. “Mindy will come around, to be honest I’m betting that she just feels really bad. And Tara, well, I’ve heard the way that girl talks about you. It’ll make both of you feel better to talk things through and get that extra weight off your chests.”

“You’re right,” your heart feels heavy in your chest. You’ve been doing your best to avoid thinking about your time spent treated like a suspect, the hurt that it brings you is too overwhelming when coupled with the burning stab wounds littered around your abdomen. But now that it’s been breached, you know your feelings are going to come flying out like the contents of Pandora’s Box. 

“God Kirby, it just hurts so much to think that no one even gave me a chance. There was nothing I could say or do. How am I ever supposed to trust them again when they so clearly didn’t trust me?”

A deep frown stretches across Kirby’s face and she moves to carefully wrap her arms around your shoulders in a hug. “You don’t have to trust them. You don’t owe any of them a single thing.” She pulls back to get a better view of your face, “But, I know you still care about your friends even though they hurt you. Just talk to them, and after that, make them earn your trust back. Your relationships are damaged but with time, they’ll heal.”

“Okay,” you nod and lean back in the bed. “That sounds good, thank you Kirby.”

“Anytime. I’m here for you from here on out kid.”

***

Tara comes by two days later, with yet another bouquet of flowers. She’s accompanied by Sam, the older girl refusing to let Tara leave her side.

Under normal circumstances Tara would throw a fit but since they had almost died just last week, she lets her sister’s behavior slide.

The younger girl greets you with a kiss on the forehead and moves to replace the old flowers with the new ones. Sam offers you a smile and a wave before making her way towards the empty bed next to your own.

You scooch yourself over to make room for Tara on the bed with you. Your abdomen screams at you for the small movements, but feeling Tara’s warmth next to you will more than make up for it.

When she’s finished with the flowers, she slides into your bed. Her hands instantly start sweeping across your form, a new habit she picked up to reassure herself that you were still alive and breathing. You melt into the contact, occasionally humming in content. 

You let yourself enjoy the peace for a moment. It’s nice being cared for by Tara, letting her fiddle with your blankets and your hair as she quietly fusses over you. 

But as much as you want to continue living in this heaven with her, the gnaw of leftover hurt and dejection in your chest has grown incessant since your talk with Kirby. You’ve been avoiding rehashing the nightmarish events with Tara because you’re terrified to lose her again, like you have every other time the two of you have had emotional talks. 

Hesitantly, you grab one of her hands to stop its movement and draw her attention to you. Those big brown eyes of hers immediately look up at you, her long eyelashes fluttering slightly. The sight of her has you nervous and bumbling. Whatever you were going to say to approach the topic is stuck in your throat in favor of admiring her.

She tilts her head cutely and entangles the fingers of her trapped hand in yours. “Is everything okay?”

You close your eyes for a second and take a deep breath. When you reopen them, Tara’s eyes are filled with concern.

You swallow thickly, “We um,” you pause briefly, working up the courage, “We need to talk Tara.”

She freezes for a second but quickly finds herself again, “Okay. Yeah, yeah we can talk.”

Sam slides out of her place on the other bed swiftly. She squeezes Tara's uninjured shoulder as she passes by, “I’ll be just outside if you need me.”

The younger Carpenter nods to her sister in thanks. Sam sees the apprehension in Tara’s eyes and offers the girl a small reassuring smile. 

The tension in the room increases when the door closes behind Sam. You and Tara blink at each other for a few long seconds.

You shift your gaze to your waist and pick at the thin scratchy blanket. When you start worrying your bottom lip between your teeth, Tara reaches up with her free hand to cup your check.

“Hey, it’s okay, you can talk to me.”

You look up to meet her eyes and see nothing but care and reassurance. It gives you the push you need to open up to her. “Well, I wanted to talk about everything from last week, and uh, how it made me feel.”

Her eyes widen a bit but she nods quickly, “Okay. I’m listening, go ahead.”

“When I saw you in the police station, god I felt so betrayed Tara. I know that since I was the only one who hadn’t stayed over it made me look bad, but no one even gave me a chance to explain myself. I get why you might’ve given them my name, but it still hurt to know it was you because it meant that you didn’t trust me enough to talk to me yourself.”

Her eyes shine with unshed tears and she slowly trails her thumb down your cheek, “I’m so sorry, about that and about everything. Me and Sam were just so scared and shaken up, and Detective Bailey was asking for everyone’s alibis, and Sam mentioned that you hadn’t stayed over. I tried to tell her not to, but she had to tell him. He was the one who decided to bring you in for questioning, not either of us. I know that doesn’t make anything better, but maybe it helps you to know.”

It did make you feel slightly better. It’s not like she threw him your name and told him to question you. “It does help. When I got to the park, I just felt so judged and alone, like I was some sort of outsider. And then Mindy said all that stuff and it just broke me. It upset me so much that she called me out like that and turned everything I told her in private into a stupid motive.”

The memory of Mindy’s words is particularly painful for you to relive. You’d never felt so exposed and let down. Quietly, a few tears begin to slip down your face.

Tara’s bottom lip trembles with the effort it takes to hold back her own tears, “I hate that we made you feel like that. We’re your friends and that’s never how you should feel around us. And Mindy, god, I was so mad at her for what she said to you. I tried to chase after you when you left but Sam wouldn’t let me.”

The timid look that you give her nearly breaks her heart. “You did?”

A tear escapes her eyes, “Yeah. I didn’t want you to be alone, not when you looked so upset.”

“I was so scared that you were going to hate me, or reject me, and that you thought I was the killer. I had to get away.”

“I could never hate you. And I wouldn’t have rejected you, I really really like you. When I told you I only wanted to be friends, it’s because everything that happened with Amber hurt me so much. I was scared that I could get hurt again, so I pushed my feelings away. And that pushed you away, and I’m so fucking sorry. All the Ghostface stuff happened so fast, and I never got a chance to apologize or to explain myself.”

You’re both crying now. You tug Tara closer to you and she positions herself so her head lays on your shoulder, moving carefully so as not to jostle you or lay on top of any wires.

She looks up at you from her position, “I didn’t think it was you, Y/N. I was just trying to be cautious about trusting anyone. The only person I was sure it wasn’t was Sam. When Wayne had you, I hesitated because of everything Ethan and Quinn were saying. And I was so, so scared that all the Amber stuff was happening again, but I believed what you said. You’re nothing like Amber, you wouldn’t have done something like that. I’m sorry it took me that long to be sure of it.”

You wrap your free arm around her waist and bury your teary face in her hair. You feel infinitely lighter having gotten your feelings out into the open. Part of you has healed from hearing things from her perspective. 

“It makes me feel so much better knowing all of that, thank you Tara.”

“Of course, I’m sorry about how I made you feel.” She looks down at your wrapped abdomen, “And I hate that you got so hurt because of me.”

You tighten your grip on her, “It’s okay.” Then, a bit playfully you add, “And don’t blame yourself, it wasn’t you who stabbed me 17 different times.”

She lifts her head and slaps your shoulder lightly, gasping. “Stop that you know what I mean.”

You laugh heartily and Tara swears she could stay here with you forever. She traces her eyes along your features and finds herself in awe of your soft beauty, as she is everytime she looks at you.

Her hand reaches up to cup your chin and her fingers splay out across your jaw. You’re utterly lovestruck as you stare into her pretty eyes.

She leans forward and gently captures your lips with hers, sighing softly into the kiss. When she pulls back, she smiles sweetly up at you.

“I feel the same way, you know. I really love you too.”

***

Tara, and by extension Sam, visit you practically everyday after that. The younger sister brings her laptop with her so that you three actually have a good selection of movies to watch. 

One night after Tara fell asleep, tucked into your side, Sam offered you an apology too. You forgave her immediately, though she hadn’t really done anything other than be her usual protective self, you appreciate the sentiment all the same.

It’s a quiet day when Mindy finally walks into your room. Sam had to sort out some work stuff, so the two sisters would be heading over a bit later.

“Hey,” she offers shyly. 

“Hi Mindy.”

“Is it okay if I come in and sit?”

“Of course yeah, sit anywhere you like.”

Seeing her here is shocking, but not unwelcome. Tara had informed you that she was trying to convince Mindy to come visit you so that she and you could talk. According to Tara, the short-haired girl was entirely sure that you hated her and would never want to speak to her again.

Mindy shifts around a little and her leg hasn’t stopped bouncing since she’s sat down.

Deciding to reprieve her from her fidgeting, you give her a small smile. “I don’t hate you Mindy.”

Her eyes are wide and they snap up to meet yours, “You don’t?”

“I don’t.”

She breathes out a sigh of relief, but still looks a little apprehensive. “I’m surprised you don’t. I would hate me if I were you.

You had thought long and hard about how you felt about Mindy, and while you were deeply hurt by her words, you could never bring yourself to hate her. You considered her your best friend for a brief moment in time and she was the only person that was there to comfort and support you when you were wallowing in your feelings for Tara.

“I thought about hating you, but I really care about you, Mins. I know that you feel some pressure to follow in your uncle’s footsteps. I just wish that you listened to me, and that you didn’t go so deep on the motive stuff.”

She cringes at the reminder, “I feel, so so stupid about that.” Her hands come up to cover her face for a moment as she groans. “I’m sorry, it was extremely shitty of me.”

“It was pretty shitty of you,” you chuckle, “but it’s okay. I’d probably be more mad if things didn’t end up working out between me and Tara.”

She smiles, “I’m happy for you both.” Her face turns more serious and she leans forward to softly place her hand on your thigh. “Genuinely though, I feel terrible. I was just so sure it was you and I guess it kind of scared me. I’m sorry, I know that’s no excuse. Is there any way I can make it up to you?”

You ponder it for a minute. Bingo. Your face twists into a smirk, “I have an idea.”

***

It’s a few hours later when Sam and Tara arrive. They’re wrapped up in a conversation as they enter, so they don’t notice the current state of your room.

Sam notices first, “What the-”

“Surprise!” you cheer.

Your hospital room has been completely rearranged. The two beds have been pushed together to form a makeshift couch, and the chairs are positioned beside each bed. Fairy lights have been strung around the room and a white sheet hangs across from the sitting area, placed perfectly in the center.

You, Mindy, and Chad (who’d been wheeled in by his sister) grin at the dumbfounded Carpenter sisters.

Sam, ever the mom of the group, raises a singular eyebrow, “What did you three do?”

Your smile stretches even wider. “We’re recreating movie night! Hope you Carpenters don’t mind not hosting for once.”

Sam rolls her eyes good naturedly at your comment. 

Tara walks over and hops up on the bed next to you. You greet her with a kiss to her cheek and she beams at you, pleased. “Baby this is such a nice surprise. But how’d you manage to put all this together?”

You share a secret little glance with Mindy, “I called in a favor from a friend.”

After a good few minutes of cheerful banter, the group settles in to watch the movie. You and Tara are pressed so close together that she’s practically sitting on your lap. 

After a week full of misery, things finally feel right. Your wounds are steadily repairing themselves and your relationships have been mended. Slowly but surely, you are healing.

Tara, the girl who started it all, who stole your heart away with her teasing smiles alone, leans over to whisper in your ear, “When you’re finally out of this hospital, I’m taking you on a date. Just me and you.”

Your eyes shine with the same love that you see reflected in hers. “I’d love nothing more.”

“It’s a date.” She kisses you chastly and quickly pulls back. Her hand reaches towards your face and when she boops your nose softly, you know you’ll be in love with Tara Carpenter for the rest of your life.

What are you doing? I'm keeping you company. You don't have to do that. I know.

| ANATOMY OF A SCENE - CHENFORD EDITION 5.05 - The Fugitive

This scene has such a nostalgic feel… With the references to Tim's old injury and the subtle Day of Death undertones, it brings us right back to Tim and Lucy's old dynamic. It also grants them a much needed moment of truce amidst their current awkwardness… a respite from all the confusion… Not everything is fixed - there are too many remaining unsaid things… But the reassurance that their bond is still intact is what matters the most in that instant.

Throughout the episode, we got glimpses of how worried Lucy was. But once she is made aware of Tim's laparoscopy surgery, she goes almost frantic. There's this very sweet moment when she enters his hospital room, where she takes a breath and tries to rein it in so as not to overwhelm him. Despite her effort, she can't quite completely hide how beside herself she is. His little hey is the softest thing. So is his little smile when he's trying to reassure her that he's going to be fine… and trying to explain why he asked to keep her in the dark. She looks so hurt for a second. And it's understandable with how things have been between them lately. I could see her mind making up scenarios as to why, wondering if she may have ruined their relationship.

The fact that he simply didn't want to worry her is actually extremely mindful - and misguided, because she was always going to anyway. And it's not that he didn't trust her to handle his surgery - rather, it was an act of love. Just like Grey didn't want to worry Luna after his shooting… The way she immediately teases him about this and his deflection are just so reminiscent of Day of Death - when he tried to deny staying all night at her bedside. Just like then, Lucy can see through him. For the first time since Vegas, they can allow themselves to simply bask in each other's presence, without feeling self-conscious about it. Their little smiles are everything. They look so at peace here. Like they're finally home. Tim taking time to praise her is also a nice touch… It's the fact that, despite his surgery, he still knew how she did at the station that says everything about his feelings.

But some things have changed and Lucy is the one who addresses the elephant in the room : Ashley's absence. Her wariness is comprehensible after feeling like a third wheel earlier. Though I get why Tim lies to her here. Given the fact that he was unceremoniously dumped when he was barely conscious, there's no way he had time to fully process or even digest what has happened. And since he's making headway with Lucy, I can also understand him not wanting to do anything that could rock the boat. Like talking about his breakup would. In that moment, it's not about Ashley. It's about him and Lucy. The fact that her response is to simply shrug it off and stay by his side just shows that she was merely trying not to overstep. The way she takes time to subtly check his monitor, making sure everything is alright is so inherently her. As is the fact that she intends on staying to keep him company. This is so natural to her that his bewilderment surprises her… and unknowingly to her, that's what Tim needed to hear. He needed to be reminded that there's someone who isn't going to bail on him when things get tough. She never did before and regardless of their current awkwardness, she's still going to stay by his side. His little smile at the end conveys everything… like how much this means to him… and how much he's fallen for her… Let's not even start on the intensity of Lucy's gaze. Officer Bradford should be getting out of intensive care today. If you have some time after your shift, I'm sure he won't appreciate it. Well, turns out he does… when it's Lucy.

[affectionatepanda]

I recently had a diagnostic laparoscopy because my doctor and I were sure I had endometriosis. None was found (although I’m not entirely convinced it’s not the problem but I’m no expert) but what was found was just… So much scar tissue. Things were stuck to other things and I had an organ twisted out of place. The biggest thing for my long term health (I think) that was found- and this might be TMI but really is anyone going to read this?- my fallopian tubes are completely blocked. Meaning I can’t have children unless I either get that treated or use IVF. I didn’t particularly want to have children, at least not by using my body. But it’s weird knowing that it’s not even really an option for me. I’m not sure I’ve really processed this information; I just feel numb about it. Apparently blocked fallopian tubes are a fairly common cause of infertility. Infertility. Is that something I have to identify with now? Do I have to say I’m infertile? I’m really adding to my list of adjectives over here. Chronically ill, disabled, mentally ill, lesbian, nonbinary, neurodivergent… infertile? I guess I am. It’s such a strange feeling. I don’t know what to do with it. Oh, and we don’t know exactly what caused the scarring. My doctor’s best guess was some sort of infection but I don’t remember ever having any kind of infection that would cause this. I thought this would give me answers but I feel just as confused as before. But I’ve deemed “fixed” and he said I only need to be seen for routine screenings anyone my age would get. Maybe I’m supposed to be satisfied with that. Maybe I want too much out of my doctors, I don’t know. All I know is I don’t really… have anyone to talk to about this. Not anyone who knows what to say. It’s fine though, I don’t even know what I want to hear.

I think unfortunately, only about 18 months after the surgery, my endo is returning. Before I would get pains around my ovaries during when would be menstruation and ovulation (the hormonal stuff still happens, iud does locally affects uterus lining) due to internal surgical scarring in the area. But now I'm having pretty regular and frequent uterus cramps. Luckily pretty mild, but considering they weren't happening before, it's not a good change.

But the biggest tell us that my nausea has returned. I'm having trouble eating without nausea once again. Meaning I'll probably soon have to either go back onto the anti nausea meds or start the slow and painful process of trying to get another diagnostic laparoscopy, which they're likely to be unwilling to do.

[eversailedinafirefly]

hey there uterus-burdened folks, i’m in need of some advice??

went in to my gyno for a pretty standard IUD replacement and because I was having some v unpleasant cyst symptoms (not entirely abnormal) i asked him to poke around up there with his ultrasound a lil longer. turns out, ya girl has a blocked fallopian tube and is getting fast-tracked to an endo diagnosis and a potential laparoscopy

except not that fast, bc it’s the Netherlands and healthcare is cheap and pretty good but decidedly not fast. and in the mean time I’m just in more and more pain (especially in the mornings) and my stomach is all out of whack and bloated and eating is harder than I’d like it to be. plus like, the crushing mental realization that something about my body is fundamentally wrong again*, the girl who fuckin hates medical procedures now gets another metric shit ton on my plate, and this shit will have a decided impact on the future i’m trying to build with a beloved partner. ya know, little things.

so anyway, if anyone has any advice on just short term pain and symptom management for this, it would be really helpful. I’m just tired of dealing with my body and if anyone can make me hate it less rn I’d appreciate it ❤️

*ya girl ALSO has MS because if there is a god they decided to fuck my life in particular

20- Write about your ship sneaking a romantic moment together. + RevChase?

TYYYY THIS WAS SO FITTING FOR THEMMM!!! 🩵🩵🩵 It's quick and messy but it's something!!

It's only seconds after she's finished scrubbing, her hands are still dripping wet and she's holding them out in front of herself, avoiding touching anything. And as many times as she's scrubbed in, Reverie has gotten good at that. She smiles, a sense of victory over her as she readies to gear up, still not touching anything with the sterile parts of her body– until a hand wraps around her forearm and pulls her around in a circle.

“Hey, what the fuck–” she begins to snap, only to notice it's Chase who has grabbed her and spun her around to face him. Her expression changes and she smiles.

“You do know that I just scrubbed in, right?” Reverie asks, taking his hands in hers, sterility be damned now that he'd ruined it. “What was that for? You need something?”

Chase smirks and tightens his fingers as they're laced between hers. “I need you.”

Reverie scoffs and rolls her eyes. “Right before we're supposed to perform an exploratory laparoscopy? You can't wait?”

“Who knows how long that's going to take?” Chase responds with his own eye roll. “It's exploratory. That means we don't know how long it's going to take.”

“Long enough to wait for you to get your hands on me?” Reverie suggests jokingly, though she doesn't move her hands from his. “Your non-sterile hands?”

Letting one hand loose from hers, Chase pushes open a door adjacent to the sink and pulls Reverie inside, locking it behind them. Both are laughing, and it's dark inside, and cramped– they're pushed even closer together than before, between shelves of medical supplies.

Reverie barely has time to speak before Chase kisses her, giving her rapid pecks on the lips before she pulls away, breathless, and fumbles to find the light switch. When she does, the fluorescents overhead flick on, and she can see that ever-charming, bright smile of Chase's illuminates the room even more than they do.

“Someone's gonna get pissed at us for sneaking off to fool around. You're mental,” Reverie laughs, wrapping her hands around the back of his neck and pulling him back in for a kiss.

Between kisses, he says, “No one will know. And yeah, maybe, but you love me.”

“I do. I do love you,” she responds, squeezing her elbows around his shoulders, carding her hands through his soft, blond hair.

Chase slides his hands down her body and rests them at her hips. “I love you.”

Then they just stand there, admiring each other, holding each other, until both of their pagers go off. Reverie groans and takes hers from her waistband and glares at it.

“They pissed we're late for the procedure?” Chase asks with a smirk.

“No, just reminding us, but I'm pissed they're interrupting us.”

He laughs and takes his hands off her, opening the door and pulling her back out. “Really? You were pissed at me for ruining your scrub-in.”

Reverie shrugs and leaves with him. “And I changed my mind real fast on that.”

“C'mon, let's go fix it, then,” he says, taking her by the elbow. “Scrub in with me.”

“Yeah, yeah, I know.” Reverie replies sarcastically, following him to the sink.

They both start cleaning up from their fingertips to their elbows, but once Chase is done, holding his arms out to dry, Reverie grabs his wrist.

“What…was that?” He asks with a raised eyebrow.

“I was only using water. Hands aren't sterile. It's payback,” she says with a shrug and a smirk, returning to the sink.

“I'll show you payback later…” Chase mutters, and the two smile at each other as they restart washing their hands.

FP1:

Carlos returned to the track, with his team providing some extra padding for his 3 laparoscopy scars. His fuel load was kept light to ease him back into dealing with the g-forces. Hope this weekend is not too painful for you, Carlos.

Everyone and their brother drove off track (curb, gravel, grass) and complained on the radio about floor damage.

The weather was simply amazing, and the stands were packed!

Someone almost hit a pigeon, according to the commentators (I didn't see it)

Alex hit the wall, and left an entire spreadsheet of damage in his wake. The car was destroyed, but thankfully Alex was okay.

Lando had to wade through the debris field after the session was red-flagged:

P1: NOR | P2: VER | P3: RUS

FP2:

Max started late because of floor repairs still being worked on.

Alex did not start at all, because his car had too much damage.

More off-roading, including Logan giving everyone at Williams a heart attack when he spun (no damage though).

Charles decided he needed to get the fastest lap every time he went out, and armies of tifosi worldwide got high on hopium until he too took to mowing some grass.

Several drivers griping about others being in their way on team radio.

It's reported that Williams didn't bring a spare floor to Australia. Later it is confirmed Albon's car chassis is damaged, and they will indeed only be able to drive 1 car this weekend. They make the controversial decision to have Alex Albon drive Logan Sargeant's car...

P1: LEC | P2: VER | P3: SAI

FP3:

Aside from Charles topping the chart at the last moment, nothing exciting happened but some sassy team radio:

P1: LEC | P2: VER | P3: SAI

Quali High (Low?) lights:

ZHO unexpectedly broke his wing and finished last. No spare wing with the same specs means he starts from the pitlane

RIC got a lap deleted and dropped to P18 in Q1

PER finished P3 but received a 3-place grid penalty for impeding HUL. He will start from P6 now.

Charles made a very aggressive setup change and messed up his final lap, so had to settle for P5 (P4 after Checo's penalty)

P1: VER | P2: SAI | P3: PER (NOR after penalties)

Petit's Race Notes:

Logan didn't get to start and Alex didn't score any points. 😞

Max's rear brake would not release and his tyre went poof. First DNF since Asutralia 2022.

A few laps later Lewis's car said, "A'ight. I'm out too." (appeared to be an electrical issue)

Charles was told to "Hold position" behind Carlos. Oscar was told to give back the position to Lando after undercut. Team orders = no exciting racing at the front ☹️

Sauber tried to break their own record for longest pit stop of the season with continued issues with their wheel nuts (one of them yesterday itself into the pitlane).

In Lap 57/58 Fernando Alonso braketested George Russell, who promptly locked up and list control of his car, ending up with his car on its side sideways across the track. Thankfully George was okay. Race finished under virtual safety car.

ALO got a 20-second penalty and 3 penalty points after the race, dropping him from P6 to P8.

Carlos Sainz won just 2 weeks after his appendectomy. Charles made it the first Ferrari 1-2 since Bahrain 2022. Lando was third. Yuki scored the first point for RB at P7, and both Haas cars scored points at P9 and P10.

Fastest Lap: Charles Leclerc

Driver of the Day: Carlos Sainz

Fastest Pit Stop: Red Bull/Sergio Perez (2:18)

Wow, you're off Tumblr for months and the UI gets more fucked up than ever! Nice. How does Tumblr do it? Keep getting worse and worse? And yet I still come back to this website occasionally, because I'm also trash.

Residency makes it hard to keep a blog. I barely have time for household chores and hobbies, let alone ONLINE journaling when I'm also pouring out my heart occasionally on my actual, IRL written journal and trying to maintain friendships.

Anyway. Started R2. It's actually better so far, as much as I felt I was never going to be ready. Don't get me wrong, I still feel woefully inadequate approximately all of the time. But wow, does it feel good to not hold the gyne and OB pager, to not have to fight with the nurses about pitocin on the floor, to do something other than manage labor on OB days. I started on nights, which I thought was going to be a disaster, but actually ended up being fine. I think I got lucky, because usually the R2 gets blown up since they manage antepartum AND gynecology overnight, but the ED and antepartum nurses were relatively benign to me.

And just... the FREEDOM of not having to write q2h strip and mag notes, to not have to pay hawk-like attention to the strips... and the nurses and I get along better than ever now that

A) they have new intern prey to feast upon, and

B) I'm not riding everyone's ass about the strips

Literally, my LEAST FAVORITE PART OF MY JOB is being a labor intern because you're expected to make sure the pitocin keeps going up, up, up but the nurses don't always want to with a category 2 strip, but like, category 2 doesn't mean it's not reassuring, and also you can't have a baby without contractions, but there's always a "policy" for why we can't do XYZ.... and it's like... why am I even here then, just run the labor floor without me if everything is 100% policy-driven, lol. Category 2 isn't BAD guys!!! It's not always bad. And I know the strips aren't always amazing but dude.... we either pit enough we can get a baby out vaginally or they might as well get cut here and now instead of spinning our wheels with inadequate pitocin dosing.

Anyway... rant over hahaha. Ooooh I hated labor as an intern. I loved it in the beginning, but I QUICKLY, QUICKLY came to dread it for the above reasons. And now, as an R2 on OB days, my primary job will be c-sections! Which is incredible because right now I feel like I'm so bad at them. I've done a few over 20 since I started residency. Other programs have you do more as an intern, but I did end up with >200 vaginal deliveries, so I really can't complain. And like I said, my OB days blocks will be me doing 2-5 sections per day... so I'll get real good real fast. I just don't do it for awhile (nights > family planning > oncology > OB days) so I feel nervous when I'm assigned sections on nights and call, but I'll get there eventually. TRUST THE PROCESS, they say. I mean, I guess I thought I'd never figure out how to insert a hysteroscope into a uterus and chomp off an intracavitary leiomyoma, and I figured that out by the end of R1, so there's got to be something to it.

Things I still don't feel good about that I should have gotten better at by the end of R1: LACERATION REPAIRS. But whatever. I'm sure it will improve as my surgical skills improve.

Now I'm starting to stress because in the middle of having more responsibility, figuring out C-sections and basic laparoscopy, etc, I have to get research started and decide once and for all if I want to do fellowship. I've been waffling between generalist practice and MIGS for ages.

On one hand, I do like obstetrics more than I initially expected, I like that I'll have more freedom to do abortion care, and the thought of MORE training when I'm already almost 32 and have 2.5 years left of residency makes me want to vomit. On the other hand, the MIGS lifestyle is much better than OB lifestyle, I may still be able to do abortions, and I really, REALLY want to have elite surgical training. I'm sure I'll figure it out more on my gynecology and oncology blocks when I do more minimally invasive/generally spend more time in the OR. Not sure how much I like the thought of running a chronic pain and endometriosis clinic. But also... I feel like I went to a decently-tiered medical school and graduated with the assumption I would do fellowship, and to cut my training short and arguably without satisfactory surgical training feels bad. Because at the end of the day, I'm not actually sure how well general OB/GYN residency prepares you for surgery. I'm not sure I trust it yet.

C'est la vie. Back to other things. Studying hormonal contraception in patients with medical co-morbidities before biking back to my house to play MASS EFFECT 3. I'm also a pickle ball fanatic now.

8 months Lupron, 1 month add-back

I've discovered that I'm now slowly growing a very small amount of dark facial hair that isn't super visible but I'm p sure it wasn't there before, and I mean if you're hoping to do testosterone later on or if you're using testosterone as your add-back then this is probably a desirable effect for you, but I'm using estrogen and progesterone as my add-back for a reason lol

(I didn't know this was something that could happen!! Bc it turns out that it's not about your testosterone on its own but your testosterone in proportion to your estrogen and my testosterone has hardly budged while my estrogen has gone way down, and I'm still working on how I feel about this but it might be helpful info for someone else)

I don't think my body shape has changed at all, since I feel like my fat has redistributed since starting Lupron, and I know for a fact that my bra size hasn't changed either, but it can take a few months to begin to see those sorts of changes with estrogen

Progesterone helps with my digestive issues but the two days on, two days off with Jencycla is causing some :^) flip-flopping of symptoms and I need to talk to my gynecologist about that, like if I could do every-other day to help even it out, although this is preferable to when I was on Depo and it would wear off after a couple months and things would get worse for weeks on end instead of only for like... half a day

Ever since my 2nd shot (my 1st 3-month shot that I got in October), my site (left arm) keeps getting a lil bit sore on and off when it shouldn't be even though that's never happened to me with stuff like Depo-Provera and flu shots and even my COVID shots stopped hurting after the first few days, and I had pain go down my arm when she did my most recent injection (April) which also has never happened to me before when getting any sort of injection, but I have muscle and nerve issues in my arms due to scoliosis so I think I'm gonna ask if we can try a different site like my thigh next time (July) so we can see if it's actually from the Lupron or if it's only from my shoulders being fucked up (or even if my body is just angry at me for always using the same site!!)

(I think I had mentioned that my arm kept getting sore in a previous update?? But I'd been spending a lot of time at a friend's house around that time where the way I sit on his couch puts weird pressure on my site so I thought it was from me being stupid and sitting wrong, but I haven't been to his house in a few months now and it still happens so it's probably not actually that)

I said last time that we weren't sure if I would transition to doing my shots at home bc I don't have the pain that I did when my Depo would wear off, but bc I've been having to go to so many appointments for other things, doing my shots at home might help take stuff off my plate

I still haven't had a consult with the anesthesiologist to talk about laparoscopy bc I haven't heard from anyone, I don't know who the doctor is so I can't reach out directly, and I called my gynecologist's office last week to ask if they knew what was up with the referral so I could maybe get my consult booked, since my gynecologist was hoping to have the surgery done before my next injection, but the receptionist doesn't know who the anesthesiologist is either, so she was gonna talk to the gynecologist and get back to me

According to a study by the NIH, which shares its findings with several other sources in a cursory Google search, weight gain and obesity can create, prolong, and intensify symptoms of Chiari malformations. Here's another study, this one by the largest not for profit Chiari research group, which draws the same conclusion. She likely was facing worse symptoms than she otherwise would have due to her weight, and the weight loss most probably improved her outlook.

The Journal of Investigational Allergology and Clinical Immunology found that oedema of the uvula was idiopathic- meaning no particular cause could be found- in over half of their participants in this study; the two identifiable predisposing factors were being overweight, and snoring (a factor more likely to be present in overweight and obese people than people of a recommended weight, according to the NIH- 70% of people with sleep apnea are obese, and 40% of obese people have sleep apnea, and 95% of people with OSA snore). Losing weight usually helps with these symptoms, but sometimes you can develop permanent problems to deal with if you got overweight in the first place, but weight loss is the first step towards healing.

Narcolepsy is more prevalent in overweight and obese populations, and more likely to be triggered upon such weight gain in predisposed individuals. It can end up as a vicious cycle, as people with narcolepsy tend to weigh 20% more than the average. There's not an insignificant probability that her being obese in the first place triggered the narcolepsy.

Endometriosis has a significant increase in incidence in obese populations compared to lower BMIs, complete with worse symptoms, a greater prevalence of severe dysmenorrhea, with an OR (odds ratio) of 1.979 versus all other populations at 1-1.05. There is no research proving that endometriosis 'grows' at any pace, least of all in the span of a year, as that would require a study do serial laparoscopies. In all likelihood, it was already that bad. (Also, on average, it takes 10 years for a woman to get an endo diagnosis, she's fucking lucky to have gotten it in a year!)

And before you say 210 isn't obese, it's a BMI of 34, which is obese. Being obese is a comorbidity to so many bad things, the BMI is not a moral judgement, it's an indicator of health risk. Please please please stop acting like it's irrelevant. It's very relevant.

All of her symptoms that she listed are things that can be caused by a myriad of issues, and pretty much all of them are either significantly more likely to occur if you're obese or significantly worse if you're obese. Being obese means you're at risk for way more issues- losing weight might not solve them, but it will mean that you aren't going to develop any more issues because of your weight.

This is why fat shaming can have tragic consequences.

What is Laparoscopy? Exploring the Modern Approach to Minimally Invasive Surgery

Laparoscopy is a surgical technique involving small, minimally invasive incisions for operations. It is commonly performed on the abdominal area or a woman’s reproductive system. The procedure uses a thin instrument called a laparoscope, which is inserted through a tiny incision. This instrument has a camera attached, transmitting images to a video monitor, enabling the surgeon to view internal organs without deep cuts or significant trauma, ensuring a less invasive approach.

People often choose laparoscopic treatments at the hospital due to shorter recovery times, less pain, quicker healing, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery. Laparoscopy is also known as Diagnostic Laparoscopy or Minimally Invasive Surgery. For such treatments and diagnosis, Dr.Harigovind Urology Center offers the Best care and wellness.

How was surgery performed before laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy has marked a significant advancement in medical science, especially for treating abdominal and urological conditions. Before laparoscopy, surgeons performed open surgeries with a large 6-12 inch incision, leaving a scar. In contrast, laparoscopic procedures involve making several tiny incisions, each no longer than half an inch. This is why it’s often referred to as "Keyhole Surgery."

What conditions can be treated with laparoscopy?

Laparoscopy is employed for various medical conditions that require surgical incisions to diagnose and address health issues.

Benign Tumours

Abnormal Growths

Blockages

Infections

Unexplained Bleeding

By making the small incision, the surgeon can see the images of the required organ on the video monitor and treat the organs without being invasive to the human body.

Why would someone need laparoscopy?

Someone would need laparoscopy treatment when the following medical situations are there:

When someone is having severe or chronic pain in the abdomen or pelvis region

When someone is lumping in the abdomen area

When someone is having abdominal cancer

When someone is having urological health issues

When a woman is having reproductive issues or blockages

What are the usual health issues that Laparoscopy cater to?

There are usually numerous health problems to which laparoscopic treatments are available. Laparoscopic treatments have come as a boon as they now relieve the patients of major incisions in their body.

Following are some of the medical problems for which laparoscopy is widely used:

Hysterectomy - It refers to the removal of the uterus. A hysterectomy may be done to treat cancer, abnormal bleeding, or other disorders.

Tubal ligation - It is a procedure used to prevent pregnancy by blocking a woman's fallopian tubes.

Incontinence - It means accidental or involuntary urine leakage.

Fibroids - These are growths that form inside or outside the uterus of a woman. Most fibroids are noncancerous.

Ovarian cysts - These are basically fluid-filled sacs that form inside or on the surface of an ovary of a woman.

Endometriosis - It refers to a condition in which tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it in a woman.

Pelvic prolapse - It is a condition in which the reproductive organs drop into or out of the vagina of a woman.

Ectopic pregnancy - This is kind of a pregnancy that grows outside the uterus in a woman. A fertilized egg can not survive an ectopic pregnancy. It can be life-threatening for a pregnant woman.

What are the benefits of Laparoscopy?

There are a number of benefits of Laparoscopy that a patient gets when compared to its counterpart of traditional open surgery:

The scars on the body are less

There are no deep incisions inside the body

Shorter Hospital Stay of the patient

Less pain during the recovery

Heals quickly

The best advantage of laparoscopic treatments is that the patients are assured of shorter stays at hospitals. Where onthe  one hand, a patient used to stay at the hospital for weeks, but now the patient stays just for a few days at the hospital which allows them to bounce back to the normal schedule faster. 

Dr.Harigovind Urology Center is one of the top Laparoscopic Surgery in Kerala who undertakes laparoscopic treatments at the hospital. The hospital offers laparoscopic surgical procedures in various categories of medical health such as Urological Treatment, Gall Bladder Treatment, Hernia Treatment, Appendicitis Treatment, Piles Treatment, and Gynaecological Treatment. They have doctors who have years of experience in laparoscopic medical treatments and would assist the patients medically to complete the medical course of action fully and properly.

Understanding Congenital Uterine Abnormalities

Congenital uterine abnormalities are a range of disorders that result in the uterus’s incorrect creation, development, or fusion at the time of fetal growth. Such disorders crucially affect the fertility capabilities of women. Diva Women’s Hospital is highly dedicated towards helping women dealing with such problems.

What Are Congenital Uterine Abnormalities?

Congenital uterine abnormalities are considered congenital defects that affect the structure of the uterus. These abnormalities occur when there is ineffective uterine development at the time of the embryonic period. Such abnormalities can range widely in various types, from minor structural variations to more noticeable deformities. Typical kinds include:

Septate Uterus: The uterine cavity is partially or totally divided by a fibrous band.

Bicornuate Uterus: The uterus is shaped like a heart and is separated into two chambers.

Unicornuate Uterus: The uterus has a single cavity because only one side develops properly.

Didelphys Uterus: This condition causes the uterus to grow into two distinct chambers.

nonexistent or hypoplastic uterus: The uterus is either nonexistent or undeveloped.

To ensure the most effective treatment for women, it is necessary to comprehend the types. As in most instances, these conditions are often ignored until a woman suffers from a few consecutive abortions or has fertility issues, there is a necessity of early diagnosis. Early diagnosis is key.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

In accordance with one’s genetic or personal biological disabilities, some women may well not have any clinical symptoms at all, while others might suffer from such issues as:

Menstrual pain (dysmenorrhea), the thickening of the cervix or fibroids

Abnormal fertility with frequent miscarriages

Difficulty in becoming pregnant

A higher instance of miscarriages than expected or premature births

It is dependent on the specific type of abnormality felt. For instance, a partially divided uterus could result in a preterm birth, whereas a septate uterus could cause loss of baby during pregnancy. A careful examination will be useful in recognizing these signs and seeking a consultation with a medical practitioner.

Congenital uterine anomalies are usually diagnosed using imaging methods such as:

Ultrasound: Another procedure that can be performed in order to study the anatomy of the uterus without surgical intervention.

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging): produces very detailed images of the uterus.

Laparoscopy and hysteroscopy are used to visualize the uterus and evaluate it by means of a minor cut in the abdomen and the cervix.

Besides confirming the presence of abnormalities, these diagnostic tools help in making the right decisions. These disorders and pregnancy outcomes are better when diagnosed early.

Treatment Options

The kind and degree of congenital uterine anomalies determine how they should be managed. Typical methods include the following:

Surgical Correction: Individuals suffering from structural deformities such as a septate uterus are offered hysteroscopic metroplasty correction. This correction is laparoscopic and offers solutions to restoring normal uterine activities. 

Fertility Treatments: For women at reproductive age that are failing to conceive, one of the options that they’re provided with is IVF (In Virto Fertilisation). These therapies provide a remedy to the anatomical problems and improve the chances of becoming pregnant.

Monitoring High-Risk Pregnancies: Several women have distinct irregularities of the uterus and for these women, exclusive obstetric care is required in order to facilitate the best outcomes of a pregnancy. Setting up preventive measures and having regular checkups can help in protecting against possible complications.

It is advisable to reach out to credible specialists who can craft tailor-made approaches as per the requirements and medical history of the patient in question. 

Counselling and Psychological Impact 

There are congenital anomalies where the women are born without a formed uterus, which could be hard to cope with emotionally. The loss of pregnancy over a period of time or the inability to conceive has been a source of anxiety or anger in many patients. They clearly see the significance of mental health and, therefore, at Diva Women’s Hospital, they offer counseling services for women throughout the treatment. I can’t emphasize enough that they care so much that every single patient knows that they are heard and they are better.

Why Choose Diva Women’s Hospital?

At Diva Women’s Hospital, we understand the health, physical and psychological challenges associated with congenital uterus anomalies. Our highly trained team of gynaecologists and specialists offers:

Full-service diagnostics

Sophisticated surgical techniques

Individualised treatment regimens

At Diva Women’s Hospital, we are always ready to assist you in all aspects of life and ensure that you receive the most appropriate and tailored treatment available. Feel free to reach us at the earliest for expert care and recommendation if you think you may have a congenital uterine anomaly or have been diagnosed with one.
